Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided interventions have revolutionized the management of malignant biliary obstruction (MBO) and gastric outlet obstruction (GOO), providing minimally invasive alternatives with improved outcomes. These procedures have significantly reduced the need for high-risk surgical interventions or percutaneous alternatives and have provided effective palliative care for patients with advanced gastrointestinal and bilio-pancreatic malignancies. EUS-guided biliary drainage (EUS-BD) techniques, including hepaticogastrostomy (EUS-HGS), choledochoduodenostomy (EUS-CDS), and antegrade stenting (EUS-AS), offer high technical and clinical success rates, with a good safety profile particularly when Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is not feasible.

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.

Background: Although balloon enteroscopy-assisted ERCP and transgastric EUS-guided pancreatic duct drainage (EUS-PD) are treatment option for pancreaticojejunostomy anastomotic stricture (PJAS), they are often challenging with several limitations. This study aimed to examine the feasibility of transanastomotic forward-viewing EUS-PD (FVEUS-PD) via the afferent loop for PJAS after pancreaticoduodenectomy.

Methods: Ten consecutive patients with symptomatic PJAS who underwent FVEUS-PD between 2015 and 2021 were retrospectively evaluated.

Aim: Pancreatic fluid collections (PFCs) are common local complications of pancreatitis that may require interventional therapy. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided transluminal drainage from the digestive tract, particularly with lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMS), is the first-line therapy due to its safety and efficacy. However, adverse events and post-removal courses remain uncertain.

Background: Solid pseudopapillary neoplasms (SPNs) of the pancreas are rare tumors with low malignant potential that usually occur in young girls and women. This study investigated the treatment experiences and outcomes after surgery for pediatric SPNs in our institutions as pediatric case series of solid SPNs are few, and long-term follow-up is also limited.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the outcomes of nine patients diagnosed with SPNs who underwent surgery in our three hospitals (The Jikei University Hospital, The Jikei University Kashiwa Hospital, and Kawaguchi Municipal Medical Center) between 2001 and 2023.
