This study aims to compare the efficacy of laparoscopic cholecystectomy combined with laparoscopic transcystic common bile duct exploration (LTCBDE), laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE), and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in the treatment of gallbladder stones with common bile duct stones. We conducted a retrospective comparative analysis based on surgical time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative recovery metrics, total hospitalization costs, gastrointestinal quality of life index (GIQLI) before and after surgery, and the incidence of postoperative complications. No significant differences were found among the three groups in terms of the surgical success rate, first stone clearance rate, intraoperative blood loss, incidence of postoperative complications, and stone recurrence rate (p > 0.

Introduction: In the United States, while most nonmalignant polyps are effectively treated through endoscopic removal, colectomy remains a treatment option for selected cases of nonmalignant polyps (NMPs) and colon cancer. This study aimed to compare postoperative outcomes for colectomies in these two conditions, hypothesizing similar complication rates.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database from 2015 to 2021, including patients who underwent elective colectomies for colon cancer or NMPs.

Introduction: Endoscopic resection is suitable for most benign gastric or early stage cancerous polyps. Laparoscopic local resection is performed only for gastric polyps that are difficult to treat with endoscopic resection, such as recurrent or large polyps. However, when polyps are located in difficult regions, such as the gastric cardia and prepyloric antrum, wedge resection may damage the sphincter around the cardia or pylorus, resulting in postoperative deformity or stenosis.

: Endoscopic resection with lift polypectomy using submucosal injection (SI) for large non-pedunculated colorectal polyps is recommended to facilitate complete mucosal resection and decrease the risk of perforation; however, there are no studies comparing the safety and efficacy of large polypectomies with and without lift polypectomy. We aimed to evaluate the feasibility and safety of the polypectomy technique without SI compared to the routine use of SI. : We performed a single tertiary center retrospective study evaluating all consecutive large non-pedunculated colorectal polyps (≥20 mm) referred to expert endoscopists in polypectomy from 2018 through 2021.

: The aim of the present narrative review is to synthesize the available scientific evidence on the effects of submarginal instrumentation with periodontal endoscopy and evaluate its' potential efficacy in terms of the non-surgical therapy of peri-implantitis. : The literature search was performed via electronic databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane, and Scopus, and was supplemented by manual searching. A literature review was conducted addressing the following PICOS questions: (1) What is the efficacy of non-surgical submarginal instrumentation of the implant surface with the aid of a periodontal endoscope in patients with peri-implantitis? (2) What is the efficacy of non-surgical subgingival instrumentation performed with the aid of a periodontal endoscope compared with conventional subgingival instrumentation in patients with periodontitis, in terms of clinical parameters and patient-reported outcomes? Mechanical decontamination of the implant surface is crucial for resolving inflammation and arresting further bone loss.
