Saraiva,Rita Ornelas; Borges,Verónica Pavão; Silva,Mário Jorge; Loureiro,Rafaela; Capela,Tiago; Ramos,Gonçalo; Canena,Jorge; Dias,António MateusAbstract Introduction: Experience with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in the pediatric population is limited. Few medical centers have experts specifically trained in pediatric therapeutic endoscopy. As a result, patients are generally referred to adult endoscopists with high experience in the procedure. The aim of this study was to characterize the experience of an adult endoscopy unit w...

Endoscopic Management of Sigmoid Volvulus in a Debilitated Population: What Rel...
Rocha,Manuel Coelho da; Capela,Tiago; Silva,Mário Jorge; Ramos,Gonçalo; Coimbra,JoãoBackground: Colonic volvulus, mainly from the sigmoid, is a relatively common cause of intestinal obstruction, particularly in the elderly and in patients with debilitating conditions. The high morbi-mortality of emergency surgery places the endoscopic approach as the first-line treatment for the resolution of this acute obstructive condition. Objectives: To assess the importance of endoscopic treatment for the...
Outcomes of Different Methods for Analysis of Biliary Brush Cytology and of Fac...
Costa,Mariana; Canena,Jorge; Mascarenhas-Lemos,Luís; Loureiro,Rafaela; Silva,Mário; Carvalho,Diana; Capela,Tiago; Russo,Pedro; Ramos,GonçaloBackground and Aims: Brush cytology during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is the most frequently used strategy for obtaining a tissue sample from an indeterminate biliary stricture. A recent study reported that age is a factor associated with positive yields, but further analysis of how age influences the results was lacking. We aimed to evaluate clinical effectiveness of biliary cytology...
Intestinal Obstruction of Uncommon Cause and Point-of-Care Ultrasonography: Whe...
Capela,Tiago; Sousa,Paula; Caldeira,Ana; Pereira,EduardoMalignant neoplasms of the small bowel, especially from the jejunum, are among the rarest types of cancer. Given its location, a delayed diagnosis is frequent and sometimes only made in an emergency context. The authors present a case of intestinal obstruction, where ultrasonography was pivotal in establishing a diagnosis. Point-of-care ultrasonography seems to be particularly sensitive in assessing emergency p...
