Published: December 2019

An over-the-scope clip is a type of endoscopically placed clip used to treat gastrointestinal perforation, bleeding, or fistula. After the defect heals, the clip usually passes uneventfully through the gastrointestinal tract. An uncommon complication of over-the-scope clip placement is intestinal obstruction caused by luminal stenosis at the site of clip placement. Intestinal obstruction can rarely cause other downstream complications such as hydronephrosis from extrinsic compression of the urinary tract. We report a rare case of bilateral hydronephrosis caused by bowel obstruction from a migrated endoscopically placed clip.

Free-Hand Endoscopic Full-Thickness Resection for Duodenal Subepithelial Lesions.

J Gastroenterol Hepatol

January 2025

Endoscopy Center and Endoscopy Research Institute, Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University, Shanghai, China.

Background And Aim: This work aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of free-hand endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFTR) for duodenal subepithelial lesions (SELs).

Methods: We performed a retrospective review of 105 patients with duodenal SELs who underwent free-hand EFTR. Free-hand EFTR means no other devices (over-the-scope clip or full-thickness resection device) are required.

January 2025

Division of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Endoscopy, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts and Harvard Medical School, 75 Francis St, Boston, MA, 02115, USA.

Background: Endoscopic closure techniques are effective and safe in the management of transmural gastrointestinal defects. However, there is a paucity of data regarding their comparative effectiveness. This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of several new-generation, endoscopic closure devices in a pre-clinical model.

A 71-year-old male patient with a history of bladder neoplasia underwent Bricker-type surgery, during which an iatrogenic rectal injury occurred. During surgery, an unsuccessful suture attempt was made, leading to the appearance of fecaluria after 48 hours. A computed tomography scan revealed a small continuity defect in the rectal wall, accompanied by a 25-mm adjacent collection.
