Ureteric JJ stents are inserted in numerous pa- tients as a routine procedure. Nevertheless, the ideal JJ stent that does not cause any lower urinary tract symptoms has not been developed yet. Even special validated ques- tionnaires have been used for the assessment of JJ stent-related symtoms. For the management of such symtoms usually alpha-blockers are admin- istered. Also, studies have examined the efficacy and safety of anticholinergics and calcium channel blo- ckers. In this article we review the literature upon the management of JJ stent-related symptoms.

Introduction: Endoscopic ultrasound-guided gastroenterostomy (EUS-GE) is effective and safe in benign and malignant indications. However, there is a paucity of literature on the outcomes of these patients. Our study evaluates the long-term outcomes of patients who underwent EUS-GE and stent-related adverse events (AEs).
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAcute variceal bleeding (AVB) continues to challenge physicians and healthcare systems. Despite significant advances in our multimodal approach to managing this problem, namely medical, endoscopic, and radiological techniques, the mortality rates for this patient cohort remain as high as 20% on the index admission. This mortality rate has remained unchanged over the past 25 years.

Article Synopsis
- The study compared the effectiveness of external and internal pancreatic stents in preventing complications after pancreatoduodenectomy (PD), focusing on a risk-stratified approach based on a preoperative pancreatic fistula score (preFRS).
- Data from 285 patients showed that external stents significantly reduced the rate of clinically relevant pancreatic fistula and postpancreatectomy hemorrhage in high-risk patients compared to internal stents.
- The findings suggest that using external stents can improve postoperative outcomes, especially for patients at higher risk, and emphasize the need for better stent management strategies.
Gastrovesical fistula as a rare complication following endoscopic transluminal drainage of walled-off necrosis-a case report.

Article Synopsis
- - This study discusses a rare adverse event (AE) of gastrovesical fistula that occurred after the minimally invasive treatment of pancreatic walled-off necrosis (WON), an approach known to lower risks compared to traditional surgery.
- - A 42-year-old man faced complications from transgastric drainage of a large WON, including inadvertent bladder penetration due to a stent, but was treated through a collaborative, non-surgical effort involving multiple medical specialties.
- - The findings emphasize the need for awareness of potential AEs like gastrovesical fistula in endoscopic procedures and highlight the importance of early recognition and multidisciplinary strategies for effective management.
