BACKGROUND: Although endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is becoming more common for early gastric cancer, it requires more advanced techniques and a longer treatment duration than endoscopic mucosal resection. Hybrid ESD using a multifunctional snare (SOUTEN) has been reported to be effective for colorectal lesions, as it can reduce treatment duration. Endoscopic suturing of post-ESD mucosal defects has been reported to reduce the incidence of ESD-related complications. CASE SUMMARY: This study reports outpatient hybrid ESD for early gastric cancer using SOUTEN, followed by endoscopic suturing of post-ESD mucosal defects in an 86-year-old man...

REVIEW
Lan-Jing Wang, Xin Yao, Qi Qi, Jian-Ping Qin
Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is an established procedure for treating the complications of portal hypertension in liver cirrhosis. While the pathogenesis of postoperative TIPS-related hepatic encephalopathy (HE) has yet to be fully understood, intraoperative portosystemic shunts may provide a pathological basis for the occurrence of postoperative HE in patients with liver cirrhosis. Studies at home and abroad have expressed mixed opinions about TIPS-related HE. This study presents a literature review on the risk factors for and prevention and treatment of perioperative TIPS-related HE in patients with liver cirrhosis, aiming to optimize the procedure and reduce the incidence of postoperative HE...

BACKGROUND: Pancreatic adenocarcinoma is currently the fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States. In patients with "borderline resectable" disease, current National Comprehensive Cancer Center guidelines recommend the use of neoadjuvant chemoradiation prior to a pancreaticoduodenectomy. Although neoadjuvant radiotherapy may improve negative margin resection rate, it is theorized that its administration increases operative times and complexity. AIM: To investigate the association between neoadjuvant radiotherapy and 30-d morbidity and mortality outcomes among patients receiving a pancreaticoduodenectomy for pancreatic adenocarcinoma...

BACKGROUND: Gastric cancer (GC) is a major health concern worldwide. Surgical resection and chemotherapy is the mainstay treatment for gastric carcinoma, however, the optimal approach remains unclear and should be different in each individual. Chemotherapy can be administered both pre- and postoperatively, but a multidisciplinary approach is preferred when possible. This is particularly relevant for locally advanced GC (LAGC), as neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAT) could potentially lead to tumor downsizing thus allowing for a complete resection with curative intent...
