Management of treatment-related sequelae following colorectal cancer.

Aim: Colorectal cancer survivors are one of the most rapidly growing groups of patients living with and beyond cancer. In a national multidisciplinary setting, we have examined the extent of late treatment-related sequelae in colorectal cancer survivors and present the scientific evidence for management of these conditions in this patient category with the aim of facilitating identification and treatment.

Method: A systematic search for existing guidelines and relevant studies was performed across 16 and 4 databases, respectively, from inception to 2021.

Treatment of Common Bile Duct Stones in Gastric Bypass Patients with Laparoscopic Transgastric Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography.

Due to the initial rapid weight loss, gastric bypass patients have an increased risk of developing gallstones in the gallbladder as well as in the common bile duct. Various techniques to access the biliary tree have been described.
