Objectives: Double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE) is effective for managing small bowel (SB) diseases. We aimed to evaluate the patient outcomes of DBE polypectomy in Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) with large SB polyps at surveillance imaging studies and to identify the risk factors for SB surgery.
Methods: Forty-five PJS patients who underwent regular SB surveillance imaging studies from 2005 to 2023 were retrospectively included.

Background: Dual-energy computed tomography enterography (DECTE) has significantly improved gastrointestinal imaging quality. Double-balloon endoscopy (DBE) has enabled comprehensive visualization of the small intestinal mucosa. This study aimed to assess the diagnostic efficacy of small-intestine DECTE and DBE for small bowel Crohn's disease (CD).

Background/objectives: Performing endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in surgically altered gastrointestinal anatomy remains challenging, frequently necessitating the use of forward-viewing endoscopes. Given the challenge in endoscope selection based on the type of altered anatomy, the aim of this study was to examine ERCP success rates by specific endoscopes for different anatomy types.
Methods: This single-center retrospective study examined ERCPs performed in patients with surgically altered gastrointestinal anatomy during an 18-year period.
