Endoscopic intraductal radiofrequency ablation (ID-RFA) can curatively treat residual intraductal lesions after endoscopic papillectomy. This study aimed to verify the tissue invasiveness of ID-RFA using a novel RF generator and to explore its appropriate settings in an animal experiment, followed by a small clinical study. Pig liver specimens were ablated using a dedicated RF catheter and two RF generators to investigate structural differences between them and the ablation effects produced under various voltage and power settings.

This is a multicentric retrospective cohort study of patients treated with endoscopy or surgery for ampullary CoGNET. A literature review of ampullary CoGNET was also performed.

Objective: Ampullary neoplastic lesions can be resected by endoscopic papillectomy (EP) or transduodenal surgical ampullectomy (TSA) while pancreaticoduodenectomy is reserved for more advanced lesions. We present the largest retrospective comparative study analysing EP and TSA.
Design: Of all patients in the database, lesions with prior interventions, benign histology advanced malignancy (T2 and more), patients with hereditary syndromes and those undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy were excluded.

A 73-year-old man underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy for abdominal pain, which revealed an ampullary adenoma with no obvious extension into the bile or pancreatic ducts. Endoscopic papillectomy (EP) was performed and a 5-Fr 5-cm stent was placed in the pancreatic duct. The patient developed acute pancreatitis on postoperative day (POD) 1 and contrast-enhanced computed tomography performed on POD 2 revealed that the proximal end of the stent had migrated into the retroperitoneum, forming a pancreatic fistula.
