- Endoscopic resection (ER) can be an effective treatment for undifferentiated-type early gastric cancer (UEGC), with a high rate of successful curative resections (70%) and low overall mortality (5%).
- A study of 101 UEGC patients undergoing ER found no gastric cancer-related deaths, despite some cases of recurrence.
- Complications were relatively low at 12%, and the procedure had a median duration of 26 minutes, highlighting ER's safety and efficiency for suitable candidates.
Background/aims: Although postpolypectomy fever (PPF) without colon perforation or hemorrhage is rare, its incidence and risk factors have not been investigated. The objective of this study was to analyze the incidence and risk factors for PPF among inpatients.
Methods: Seven patients with PPF were matched with 70 patients without PPF from a total of 3,444 patients who underwent colonoscopic polypectomy.
Background: Acute severe lower gastrointestinal bleeding in Crohn's disease is uncommon, but is a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. We aimed to identify risk factors for acute lower gastrointestinal bleeding in patients with Crohn's disease and assess the cumulative probability of rebleeding in relation to therapeutic modality.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 70 Crohn's patients (4.
