Background/purpose: The aim of this study is to clarify the relation between the incision size for endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) and common bile duct stone (CBDS) recurrence.
Methods: Patients who underwent elective endoscopic treatment for CBDS between January 2013 and December 2017 were enrolled, excluding those who met the exclusion criteria. The clinical characteristics were investigated using propensity score matching analysis.
Results: A total of 243 patients were investigated. Propensity scores were calculated using multinomial logistic regression with five relevant variables (age, gender, follow-up time, maximum stone size, and bile duct diameter), which led to extraction of 188 cases to compose cohorts of the small and medium EST incision groups. The CBDS recurrence rate was 17.0% in the small incision group and 6.4% in the medium incision group. Multivariate analysis identified the medium incision as an independent predictor of CBDS recurrence (hazard ratio 0.350, 95% confidence interval 0.133-0.922, P = .034). The CBDS non-recurrence rate of the medium incision group was significantly higher than that of the small incision group (log-rank test P = .019).
Conclusions: Our findings suggest that the CBDS recurrence rate was lower in EST with medium incision size than with small incision size.

Single-incision plus one-port laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy with double-channel anastomosis (SILT-DT) is a minimally invasive surgical approach for treating proximal gastric cancer. This technique includes comprehensive laparoscopic resection of the proximal stomach, lymph node dissection, and double-tract anastomosis. By integrating single-port laparoscopic surgery with an auxiliary operating hole, SILT-DT reduces procedural difficulty while facilitating the placement of an abdominal drainage tube.

Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Mayo Clinic Health System, Eau Claire, WI. Electronic address:
Objective: Brachial artery aneurysms are rare entities that have typically been associated with trauma, infection, arterio-venous fistula creation or connective tissue disorders. These aneurysms are often asymptomatic, but they can also cause local tenderness or thrombo-embolic events. Due to the very low incidence of true brachial artery aneurysms, there are no standardized guidelines on their optimal management.
