AI Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed 36 cases of duodenal diverticula found during 500 biliary surgeries, using initial diagnosis from upper GI barium series.
- Fiberoptic duodenoscopy failed to detect the diverticula, but cholangiocinesimetry showed normal sphincter pressures and ruled out odditis.
- The authors recommend avoiding direct surgery on diverticula due to high risks and suggest that external drainage or biliodigestive anastomosis is appropriate for treating dilated common bile ducts.
Article Abstract
The authors have studied 36 cases of duodenal diverticula detected during 500 biliary operations. Initial pre-operative diagnosis was based on upper gastrointestinal barium series alone. Fiberopticduodenoscopy was unable to detect the diverticula. Patients were studied by cholangiocinesimetry. This technic demonstrated that oddian activity was satisfactory, with normal sphincter pressures and thus eliminated any suspicion of odditis. In this series, diverticula of the duodenal window lead to no more complications than do cholelithiasis, acute cholecystis or acute pancreatitis. The repercussion of the diverticula seems then to be limited to isolated dilatation of the common bile duct. In treating, the authors conclude that, in case of common bile duct dilatation, external drainage or biliodigestive anastomosis is recommended. Sphincterotomy is not indicated. All direct surgery on the diverticula, responsible for heavy morbidity and mortality rates, is to be avoided.

October 2024
Division of General and Gastrointestinal Surgery, Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.
Background: Magnetic digestive anastomosis has the potential to reduce anastomotic complications and complexity. We report the 1-year results of a new surgical technique using Self-forming Neodymium magnet Anastomosis Procedure with Sleeve gastrectomy (SNAP-S; GI Windows).
Methods: This was a prospective, nonrandomized multicenter trial.

Background: Endoscopic ultrasound-guided gastroenterostomy (EUS-GE) is a minimally invasive technique for treating gastric outlet obstruction (GOO). The aim of this study was to assess the outcomes of EUS-GE in managing benign GOO caused by duodenal stenosis in patients with acute pancreatitis.
Methods: This international retrospective study analyzed patients treated with EUS-GE for GOO caused by acute pancreatitis until December 2023, evaluating technical and clinical success, adverse events, and reintervention.

Background And Aims: EUS-guided gastroenterostomy (EUS-GE) has emerged as an alternative to surgical gastrojejunostomy and endoluminal stenting for malignant gastric outlet obstruction (MGOO). Studies regarding factors associated with the EUS-GE outcomes are limited.
Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted with consecutive patients who underwent EUS-GE for MGOO from January 2016 to November 2023.
Study of a rapid ultrasonographic technique for the evaluation of the abdominal organs in rabbits.

July 2024
Private practitioner, Storrington, UK.
Background: Focused ultrasonographic imaging techniques are commonly used for cats and dogs; however, such techniques have not been described in rabbits.
Methods: Focused abdominal ultrasonography was performed on 12 healthy conscious rabbits using four acoustic windows: xiphisternal, left and right renal and cystic. They were positioned in sternal recumbency on a table top, with a cut-out area to allow access to the ventral abdomen.
Background: Among commonly performed bariatric surgeries, biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD-DS) provides greater weight loss than Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) or sleeve gastrectomy (SG), with sustained metabolic improvements. However, the risk of long-term nutritional deficiencies due to the hypoabsorptive component of BPD-DS hinders its widespread use.
Objective: The aim of the study was to examine nutritional status over 2 years after BPD-DS, RYGB or SG.
