Saline-immersion endoscopic submucosal dissection using pocket-creation method

Post written by Siddharth B. Javia, MD, from Confluence Health, Wenatchee Valley Medical Group, Wenatchee, Washington, USA. This video is about removing a large cecal polyp using an endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) technique. We facilitate this ESD in the cecum by using a combination of pocket-creation method and saline-immersion technique. ESD is a challenging technique to …

EUS-guided enteroenterostomy to facilitate peroral altered anatomy ERCP

Post written by Romik P. Srivastava, MD, from the Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, South Carolina, USA. In our video series, we present 4 cases of patients with non—gastric bypass altered anatomy who required complex ERCP. To facilitate peroral ERCP using a therapeutic gastroscope or duodenoscope, we created an EUS-guided enteroenterostomy in order to shorten …

Two clues make a proof: EUS-directed transgastric ERCP in twice-surgically altered anatomy—Roux-en-Y gastric bypass conversion of a sleeve gastrectomy

Post written by Giuseppe Vanella, MD, from the Pancreatobiliary Endoscopy and Endosonography Division, IRCCS San Raffaele Institute, Milan, Italy. In the realm of endoscopy, the advent of lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMSs) has paved the way for innovative solutions to challenges once considered insurmountable. One such breakthrough is the technique known as EUS-directed transgastric ERCP (EDGE), which …

Cholangioscopy-guided tunneling and coaxial stenting of a large choledocholithiasis: a novel approach to mechanical lithotripsy

Post written by Abdulrahman Qatomah, MBBS, from the Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, McGill University, Montreal, Quebec, Canada. A large common bile duct stone was found in a patient with cholangitis. The stone was difficult to manage using the conventional ERCP method. Sessions of cholangioscopy-guided lithotripsy also failed to achieve stone fragmentation. We wanted to highlight …
