The impact of linked color imaging on adenoma detection rate in colonoscopy: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background/aims: Colorectal cancer prevention relies on surveillance colonoscopy, with the adenoma detection rate as a key factor in examination quality. Linked color imaging (LCI) enhances lesion contrast and improves the examination performance. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effect of LCI on adenoma detection rate in adults who underwent colonoscopy.

ENDOSONOGRAPHY-GUIDED RESCUE PROCEDURES AFTER FAILED ERCP IN A PATIENT WITH PANCREATIC DUCTAL ADENOCARCINOMA.

Background: • The ERCP even when done by experienced professionals, fails in 10% of cases.

Background: • Until the development of the EUS-BD, PTBD had a role as a rescue therapy, despite a high rate of adverse events.

Background: • The EUS-BD is safe and has similar efficacy, when compared to PTBD and should be performed immediately after ERCP failure.
