TL;DR: It is demonstrated that EUS-FNA is a highly accurate diagnostic test for solid neoplasms of the pancreas and should be considered when algorithms for investigating solid pancreatic lesions are being planned.

TL;DR: Transenteric drainage of pancreatic pseudocysts and the gallbladder by using a novel, lumen-apposing, metal stent was accomplished with high technical and clinical success in this pilot observational study.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Standards of Practice Committee of the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy prepared a series of statements discussing the use of GI endoscopy in common clinical situations.

TL;DR: Adenomas and high-risk lesions were frequently detected on repeat Colonoscopy in patients with inadequate bowel preparation on initial screening colonoscopy, suggesting that these lesions were likely missed on initial colonoscopies.

TL;DR: This guideline is intended to be an educational device to provide information that may assist endoscopists in providing care to patients.

TL;DR: This document is intended to be an educational device to provide information that may assist endoscopists in providing care to patients and may be revised as necessary to account for changes in technology, new data, or other aspects of clinical practice.

TL;DR: The underwater resection technique enables complete removal of large sessile colorectal polyps without submucosal injection and the early recurrence rate appears low.

TL;DR: Compared with EMR for early gastric cancer, ESD showed considerable advantages regarding en bloc resection rate, histologically complete resection rates, and local recurrence even for small lesions, but it had the disadvantages of higher complication rates for perforation.

TL;DR: Enoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) and new, emerging endoscopic techniques such as endoscopic full-thickness resection4 are now options for patients with asymptomatic GI MTs 3 cm who feel the urge to seek a safe and efficacious reatment during the follow-up time.

TL;DR: Diagnostic sufficiency, technical performance, and safety profiles of FNA and FNB needles are comparable and there was no significant difference in yield or quality of the histologic core between the 2 needle types.

TL;DR: Evaluating the current nature of the DPs and outcomes of their endoscopic resection found that flat and sessile lesions are being identified more frequently because of increased awareness, improved endoscopic skills, and enhanced imaging.

TL;DR: EUS-guided anterograde cholangiopancreatography complements ERCP and allows successful pancreaticobiliary therapy in a large proportion of patients with failed E RCP or difficult-to-access papilla.

TL;DR: In patients with Roux + ligament of Treitz to jejunojejunal anastomosis limb length 150 cm or longer, LA-ERCP should be the preferred approach because of the lack of need for a second procedure, equivalent morbidity and hospital stay, decreased endoscopist time, and decreased cost.

TL;DR: This position statement is not a rule and should not be construed as establishing a legal standard of care or as encouraging, advocating, requiring, or discouraging any particular treatment.

TL;DR: Evaluating outcomes of ESCP in community and referral centers at the initial development phase of this procedure, to identify the ESCP stages with higher risk of failure, and to evaluate the influence on outcomes of factors related to the endoscopist was analyzed.

TL;DR: Overall EUS has good accuracy (area under the curve ≥0.93) in staging SECs, which suggests that multiple factors including the location and type of lesion, method and frequency of EUS probe, and the experience of the endosonographer can affect the diagnostic accuracy of E US.

TL;DR: Cholangioscopy-guided biopsy of indeterminate biliary lesions have significantly higher accuracy compared with ERCP-guided cytology brushings and standard forceps biopsies, but negative findings on mini-forceps biopsy cannot rule out malignancy with a high degree of certainty.

TL;DR: Endoscopic biliary drainage with the SEMS provides better adequacy of drainage and longer survival compared with the PS in patients with unresectable complex HCA.

TL;DR: Endoscopic placement of self-expandable stents is a minimally invasive, safe, and effective alternative in the management of leaks after bariatric surgery and can minimize the need for surgical revision and improve patient outcomes.

TL;DR: Taking additional time to perform a thorough examination of the BE mucosa may serve as an easy and widely available method to improve the yield of BE surveillance.

TL;DR: The EUS-guided rendezvous technique was found to be superior to precut papillotomy for single-session biliary access and Prospective randomized trials are needed to confirm these preliminary but promising findings.

TL;DR: H pylori eradication should be performed before the progression of gastric mucosal atrophy and a follow-up of more than 5 years were found to be independent risk factors for the development of metachronous gastric cancer.

TL;DR: Las recomendaciones se basan en estudios de revisión y on valorados según the fuerza of the evidencia that aporta sobre this tema, tanto en the calidad of the evidence agregada as well as the evaluación of los beneficios and daños previstos.

TL;DR: Subsequent case reports and small case series in humans have shown great promise of the device for the treatment of arterial bleeding and for the closure of endoscopic perforations and fistulae.

TL;DR: The prevalence of proximal colon serrated polyps in average-risk patients undergoing screening colonoscopy is higher than previously reported and an extrapolated proximalSerrated polyp detection rate of 5% is suggested for average- risk men and women.

TL;DR: In patients with suspected nonfunctioning low-grade to intermediate-grade pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (p-NETs), retrieval of tissue specimens with EUS-FNTA by using a 19-gauge needle is safe, feasible, and highly accurate for both diagnosis and Ki-67 determination.

TL;DR: The prevalence of advanced histological features in Colon polyps ≤ 5 mm is very low (0.5%).

TL;DR: Endoscopic ultrasonography findings can predict complete tumor resections and ESD is an effective and relatively safe method for removing gastric subepithelial tumors.

TL;DR: A lexicon for endoscopic adverse events in patients with prior abdominal surgery: virtues of the safe tract is reported of an ASGE workshop.

TL;DR: EUS-guided CTP ablation is feasible and safe in patients with local progression of advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma and, in these patients, the tumor appeared smaller compared with the initial mass.
