Recognizing intrapancreatic accessory spleen via EUS: Interobserver variability.

Background And Objective: Accessory spleen (AS) may be encountered as an intrapancreatic lesion on EUS. This can look similar to other pancreatic pathologies and may lead to unnecessary interventions. The goal of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of EUS in distinguishing intrapancreatic AS (IPAS) from other pancreatic lesions.

Variation in polyp size estimation among endoscopists and impact on surveillance intervals.

Background: Accurate estimation of polyp size is important because it is used to determine the surveillance interval after polypectomy.

Objective: To evaluate the variation and accuracy in polyp size estimation among endoscopists and the impact on surveillance intervals after polypectomy.

Design: Web-based survey.

Gastrojejunal stricture after gastric bypass and efficacy of endoscopic intervention.

The Roux-en-Y gastric bypass procedure (RYGBP) is an effective treatment for morbid obesity. Anastomotic strictures are a common complication after RYGBP. This study examines the frequency of post-RYGBP gastrojejunal strictures (GJS), methods of evaluation, and the outcome of endoscopic intervention.
