Background And Objectives: An accurate diagnosis is crucial for the clinical management of pancreatic cystic neoplasm (PCN). EUS-guided through-the-needle biopsy (EUS-TTNB) is a novel technique for improving the accuracy of PCN diagnosis. There is insufficient evidence about the efficacy of EUS-TTNB.

Background And Aims: Pancreatic endotherapy (PET) offers a treatment option for complications of chronic pancreatitis (CP) such as pancreatic duct (PD) strictures, stones, and pseudocysts. As prior studies have primarily focused on how PET affects pain, the primary aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of PET on quality of life.
Methods: This single-center prospective study assessed quality of life before the initiation of endotherapy utilizing a validated CP-specific quality of life instrument (PANQOLI).

Imaging followed by endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided therapy has become the preferred modality for treating pancreatic pseudocysts over surgical or radiological interventions. However, there continues to be a lack of consensus regarding the utility of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) before and after cyst drainage. We describe 4 cases of large pancreatic pseudocyst causing extrinsic biliary obstruction treated successfully with endoscopic cystogastrostomy decompression using a lumen-apposing self-expandable metal stent (LAMS) without ERCP.

As an alternative instead of a repeat surgical intervention, results (feasibility, safety, and technical and clinical success rate) of EUS-guided pancreatic duct drainage (EUS-PD) in a consecutive patient cohort because of symptomatic postoperative anastomotic stenosis as part of a unicenter observational study in daily clinical practice are presented.EUS-guided puncture (19-G needle) of the pancreatic duct, pancreaticography, and advancement of a guide wire (0.035 inches) via the anastomosis into the small intestine after previous dilatation of the transgastric access site (using ring knife): 1.

Introduction: Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided drainage of pancreatic fluid collections (PFCs) has variable outcomes according to the type of lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS) used. We aimed to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of the available data.
Methods: Online databases, including EMBASE, PubMed, and SCOPUS, were searched from inception to 30 January 2024.
