Choledochoduodenostomy with LAMS (Hot-Axios type) for malignant obstructive jaundice - An increasingly used technique.

An 82-year-old woman who presented with obstructive jaundice and constitutional syndrome was diagnosed with pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Palliative management was decided with endoscopic ultrasound drainage as it was impossible to perform ERCP due to anatomical alterations, a consequence of the neoplastic lesion.

Efficacy and Safety of a Novel Submucosal Injection Solution for Resection of Gastrointestinal Lesions.

Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) are minimally invasive and efficient techniques for the removal of gastrointestinal (GI) mucosal polyps. In both techniques, submucosal injection solutions are necessary for complete effectiveness and safety during the intervention to be obtained. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a new sterile submucosal injection solution for EMR/ESD used within a clinical protocol in patients with intestinal polyps.

Incisional endoscopic therapy as a therapeutic alternative in esophageal anastomotic strictures refractory to conventional treatment.

Esophageal anastomotic strictures are a non-negligible cause of benign strictures and secondary dysphagia. It should be noted that these are often complex strictures, with a large ischemic-fibrotic component. Thus, they are difficult to treat due to their recurrence, despite endoscopic dilation.

Intestinal tuberculosis and Crohn's disease: the importance and difficulty of a differential diagnosis.

Tuberculosis (TB) is the most prevalent infection worldwide and affects one third of the population, predominantly in developing countries. Intestinal TB (ITB) is the sixth most frequent extra-pulmonary TB infection. Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease that arises from the interaction of immunological, environmental and genetic factors.
