This year, 2023, marks the fiftieth anniversary of the introduction of therapeutic endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), which completely changed the management of biliary and pancreatic diseases. As in other invasive procedures, two intrinsically related concepts soon appeared: drainage success and complications. It was observed that ERCP is the most dangerous procedure regularly performed by gastrointestinal endoscopists, with a morbidity and mortality of 5-10 % and 0.1-1 %, respectively. ERCP is by far one of the best examples of a complex endoscopic technique.

Background And Aims: Analysis of national colonoscopy quality using automatically uploaded data from a national database, including exploring performance variation.
Methods: Data on all colonoscopies performed in the UK 01/03/2019-29/02/2020 and recorded in the National Endoscopy Database were analysed. Unadjusted key performance indicators were calculated and proportions of endoscopists achieving national standards were determined.

Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided tissue sampling includes the techniques of fine needle aspiration (FNA) and fine needle biopsy (FNB), and both procedures have revolutionized specimen collection from the gastrointestinal tract, especially from remote/inaccessible organs. EUS-FNB has replaced FNA as the procedure of choice for tissue acquisition in solid pancreatic lesions (SPLs) across various society guidelines. FNB specimens provide a larger histological tissue core (preserving tissue architecture) with fewer needle passes, and this is extremely relevant in today's era of precision and personalized molecular medicine.

Aim: In recent years, the majority of patients eligible for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) have been aged ≥75 years. We investigated ERCP safety in very elderly patients (aged ≥90 years).
Methods: We included patients aged ≥75 years who underwent ERCP between January 2015 and December 2020.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the learning curve of electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (ENB) for marking small peripheral pulmonary nodules (PPNs) during video-assisted thoracic surgery, analyzing data from 300 patients under one endoscopist from 2019 to 2021.
- - Three learning phases were identified: Phase I (first 16 nodules), Phase II (17 to 107 nodules), and Phase III (107 to 300 nodules), with no significant differences in success rates across phases but variations in localization distances to pleura.
- - The research also found different learning patterns depending on nodule location, indicating the importance of nodule position in influencing ENB operative time and overall success.
Efficacy and safety of esketamine combined with propofol for conscious sedation in painless colonoscopy: a prospective, randomized, double-blind controlled clinical trial.

Background: We explored the efficacy and safety of esketamine combined with propofol for conscious sedation in painless colonoscopy.
Methods: A total of 195 patients who underwent painless colonoscopy surgery were randomly divided into three groups: the propofol deep sedation group (group DS), the sufentanil combined with propofol for conscious sedation (group CS) and the esketamine combined with propofol for conscious sedation (group CS). The primary outcomes of this study included the incidence of hypoxemia, hypotension, hypertension, and bradycardia and excellent and good rates of anaesthesia during colonoscopy.
