Parotid gland swelling, or parotitis, typically associated with infectious causes, can uncommonly result from non-infectious factors such as mechanical trauma following endoscopic procedures. We present a case of a 46-year-old female with liver cirrhosis who developed right parotid swelling shortly after undergoing endoscopy for evaluation of gastrointestinal symptoms. The patient's clinical course, imaging findings, and successful resolution with conservative measures are detailed. The etiology of post-endoscopy parotid swelling is multifactorial, involving potential mechanisms such as mechanical trauma, salivary gland dysfunction, infection, ductal obstruction, or allergic reactions to medications...

Endoscopic transmural drainage is usually performed for symptomatic well-encapsulated walled-off necrosis (WON) that usually develops in the delayed phase (> 4 weeks after disease onset) of acute necrotising pancreatitis (ANP). Endoscopic drainage is usually not advocated in the early (< 4 weeks after disease onset) stage of illness because of the risk of complications due to an incompletely formed encapsulating wall and poor demarcation of viable from necrotic tissue. However, emerging data from expert tertiary care centres over the last few years shows that the early endoscopic transluminal drainage approach is effective and safe...

There is currently no consensus as to how to manage esophageal anastomotic leaks. Intervention with endoscopic vacuum-assisted closure (EVAC), stenting, reoperation, and conservative management have all been mooted as potential options. To conduct a systematic review and network meta-analysis (NMA) to evaluate the optimal management strategy for esophageal anastomotic leaks. A systematic review was performed as per the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines with extension for NMA...

BACKGROUND: Endoscopic therapy is the first-line treatment of choice for control of acute variceal bleeding (AVB). In high-risk patients with persistent AVB despite pharmacological treatment and endoscopic intervention, percutaneous transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunting (TIPS) provides a minimally invasive salvage method to reduce portal pressure and control bleeding. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate factors influencing in-hospital mortality after salvage TIPS (sTIPS) in patients with exsanguinating variceal bleeding despite medical treatment and endoscopic intervention...

Post-liver transplantation biliary complications remain a serious concern and are associated with reduced patient and graft survival. Among various biliary complications, anastomotic stricture (AS) is the most frequent and challenging one. The frequency of AS after living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) is higher as compared to deceased donor liver transplantation. The management involves endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and/or percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage, but refractory cases necessitate surgical revision...

BACKGROUND: Colorectal, and gastric cancers have the second, and fourth mortality rates worldwide, respectively. Endoscopic screening is a crucial diagnostic tool for colorectal, and gastric cancers. Effective interventions can improve adherence to endoscopic screening in high-risk populations, which is important for cancer prevention and mortality reduction. This study aimed to identify interventions that could improve adherence to endoscopic screening for cancer in high-risk populations...

BACKGROUND: Postoperative recurrence (POR) remains a major challenge for patients with Crohn's disease (CD). Gut microbial dysbiosis has been reported to be involved in the pathogenesis of POR. This study aims to investigate the relationship between fecal microbiome and endoscopic recurrence in patients with CD after ileocolonic resection. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional study. Fecal samples were collected from 52 patients with CD after surgical intervention from 6 to 12 months before endoscopic examination...

Endoscopic resection techniques enable en-bloc resection of T1 colon cancers. A complete removal of T1 colon cancer can be considered curative when histologic examination of the specimens shows none of the high-risk factors for lymph nodes metastases. Criteria predicting lymph nodes metastases include deep submucosal invasion, poor differentiation, lymphovascular invasion, and high-grade tumor budding. In these cases, complete (R0), local endoscopic resection is considered sufficient as negligible risk of lymph nodes metastases does not outweigh morbidity and mortality associated with surgical resection...

OBJECTIVES: Scoliosis associated with spondylolisthesis is a common phenomenon. Recent research has reported that scoliosis can spontaneously disappear after lumbar spinal fusion surgery. Researchers have advocated that, for scoliosis associated with vertebral slippage, surgery for the latter may be the only necessary intervention, while unnecessary surgery for scoliosis should be avoided. So we propose that minimally invasive techniques can achieve treatment effects similar to those of open surgery...

INTRODUCTION: In liver cirrhosis, acute variceal bleeding (AVB) is associated with a 1-year mortality rate of up to 40%. Data on early or pre-emptive transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic stent-shunt (TIPSS) in AVB is inconclusive and may not reflect current management strategies.

INTRODUCTION: Dieulafoy's lesion (DL) is a vascular malformation that can lead to massive gastrointestinal bleeding. It's usually found in the stomach. However, DL's occurrence in atypical sites such as the small bowel and colon is exceptionally rare, posing significant management challenges. CASE PRESENTATION: In this report, we present two cases of DL occurring in uncommon sites, each managed with distinct approaches. Case 1 is a 50-year-old man admitted to the emergency department due to massive GI bleeding and hemodynamic instability...

The management of bleeding is an important aspect of endoscopic surgery to avoid excessive blood loss and minimize pain. In clinical settings, sprayable hemostatic particles are used for their easy delivery, adaptability to irregular shapes, and rapid hydration. However, conventional hemostatic particles present challenges associated with tissue adhesion. In a previous study, we reported tissue adhesive microparticles (C10-sa-MPs) derived from Alaska pollock gelatin modified with decyl groups (C10-sa-ApGltn) using secondary amines as linkages...

There exists no cure for acute, recurrent acute or chronic pancreatitis and treatments to date have been focused on managing symptoms. A recent workshop held by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) focused on interventions that might disrupt or perhaps even reverse the natural course of this heterogenous disease, aiming to identify knowledge gaps and research opportunities that might inform future funding initiatives for NIDDK. The breadth and variety of identified active or planned clinical trials traverses the spectrum of the disease and was conceptually grouped for the workshop into behavioral, nutritional, pharmacologic and biologic, and mechanical interventions...

With increasing global life expectancy, the significance of geriatric assessment parameters has increased. Sarcopenia is a crucial assessment parameter and is defined as the age-related loss of muscle mass and strength. Sarcopenia is widely acknowledged as a risk factor for postoperative complications in diverse advanced malignancies and has a detrimental effect on the long-term prognosis. While most studies have primarily concentrated on the correlation between sarcopenia and advanced cancer, more recent investigations have focused on the relationship between sarcopenia and early-stage cancer...
