Fluid collection after partial pancreatectomy: EUS drainage and long-term follow-up.

Background And Objectives: Postoperative fluid collection due to pancreatic leak is the most frequent complication after pancreatic surgery. EUS-guided drainage of post-pancreatic surgery fluid collection is the gold standard procedure; however, data on outcomes of this procedure are limited. The primary endpoint of our study was relapse over longterm followup, and the secondary endpoint was the efficiency and safety of EUS-guided drainage of post-pancreatic surgery fluid collection.

Neoplastic Barrett's oesophagus and long-term follow-up after endoscopic therapy: complete histological eradication of Barrett associated with high-grade dysplasia significantly decreases neoplasia relapse.

Background And Aims: Endotherapy (ET) has replaced surgery as the first-line treatment of high-grade dysplasia (HGD)/superficial ECA (ECAs) from Barrett's oesophagus (BO). However, long-term follow-up and predictive factors of relapse are not so well studied. The aim of the following study was to evaluate the efficiency of ET for treatment of HGD/ECAs and to determine factors of long-term efficiency.
