Surgical resection for ampullary lesions lacks clear guidelines. Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is the standard treatment for malignant ampullary tumors but is often excessive for ampullary adenomas (AAs) due to its high morbidity and mortality. Transduodenal ampullectomy (TDA) is generally reserved for small benign lesions where endoscopic treatment fails, but its role in early ampullary cancers is debatable.

- Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an inflammatory condition with various causes, including drugs, which account for a small percentage of cases; diagnosing drug-induced AP is often complicated due to a lack of specific symptoms.
- A study conducted at Hospital Universitari de Bellvitge analyzed 38 patients with suspected drug-induced AP from June 2007 to March 2023, revealing that most cases were linked to a single drug, with azathioprine and atorvastatin being the most common culprits.
- The findings suggest that increased awareness and a proposed diagnostic algorithm may improve the identification and management of drug-induced pancreatitis, highlighting the need for drug assessment when diagnosing AP.
Background And Aims: Endoscopic ultrasound-guided pancreatic duct intervention (EUS-PDI) is one of the most technically challenging procedures. There remains a knowledge gap due to its rarity. The aim is to report the accumulated EUS-PDI experience in a tertiary center.

This study aimed to assess the quality of care provided to cirrhotic outpatients before and after an educational intervention by determining its impact on adherence to quality indicators.
Methods: We conducted a quasi-experimental, cross-sectional study including 324 cirrhotic patients seen in 2017 and 2019 at a tertiary teaching hospital in Spain.
Background: Lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMS) have displaced double-pigtail plastic stents (DPS) as the standard treatment for walled-off necrosis (WON),β but evidence for exclusively using LAMS is limited. We aimed to assess whether the theoretical benefit of LAMS was superior to DPS.
Methods: This multicenter, open-label, randomized trial was carried out in 9 tertiary hospitals.
