Per-oral esophageal myotomy endoscopic (E-POEM) has clearly proved safety and efficiency in the treatment of esophageal spastic disorders. Recent studies on endoscopic pyloromyotomy (G-POEM) suggest good efficiency and safety in the treatment of gastroparesis. In recent literature, some reports showed both esophageal motility disorders and gastroparesis.

This study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes of a large series of patients in a tertiary center.
Methods: A single-center retrospective study was performed using data collected from all patients who received palliative duodenal self-expandable metal stents between January 2011 and December 2016.
Background: Currently, colonoscopy and polypectomy are the gold standard methods for the prevention of incident cases of colorectal cancer. The use of a new colonoscope (Fuse, EndoChoice) with a larger view of up to 330° appears to improve the adenoma detection rate (ADR). We performed a prospective observational study concerning this scope.

Methods: This was a clinical pilot series on 12 consecutive patients who underwent G-POEM for refractory gastroparesis in our tertiary center between February 2014 and August 2015.
We report the case of a Caucasian woman, operated on for a solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas in 2009, who recurred 4 years later with multiple liver metastases requiring liver resection. This disease is infrequent, particularly among the Caucasian population, and metastatic evolution is very rare.
