Portuguese Pancreatic Club Perspectives on Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided and Sur...

Abstract Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (panNETs) are a group of neoplasms with heterogenous biological and clinical phenotypes. Although historically regarded as rare, the incidence of these tumors has been increasing, mostly owing to improvements in the detection of small, asymptomatic tumors with imaging. The heterogeneity of these lesions creates significant challenges regarding diagnosis, staging, and tre...

Endoscopic Management of Symptomatic Duodenal Duplication Cysts: Two Case Reports

Abstract Background: Duodenal duplication cysts (DDCs) are rare congenital anomalies typically manifesting during childhood. Clinical manifestations are uncommon in adulthood. DDCs were classically treated surgically, but endoscopic treatment has been increasingly reported. Endoscopic cyst marsupialization establishes a communication between the cyst cavity and the duodenal lumen so that the cystic content can ...

Endoscopic Reconstruction of an Oral Feeding Route Using a Rendezvous Approach

Abstract Background: The approach to esophageal obstruction or discontinuity remains challenging and often involves complex reconstructive surgeries. The rendezvous endoscopic technique might be interesting in cases of complete esophageal obstruction. Case Presentation: Herein we describe a successful case of endoscopic recanalization of the esophageal lumen in a patient with a long-standing esophageal disconti...

The Role of Endoscopic Ultrasound in Pancreatic Cancer Staging in the Era of Ne...

Abstract: Precise staging of pancreatic cancer is crucial for treatment choice. In clinical practice, this includes the TNM staging and determination of tumour resectability, based on a multimodality imaging workup. International guidelines recommend multi-detector computed tomography (CT), with a dedicated pancreatic protocol, as the first-line tool for TNM staging and evaluation of tumour-vessel relationships...

The Impact of Recent Advances in Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Tissue Acquisitio...

Abstract: Over the last few decades, endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided tissue acquisition has become the method of choice for the pathological diagnosis of solid pancreatic lesions. Due to its high diagnostic yield and low complication rate, EUS-guided tissue acquisition has surpassed percutaneous sampling techniques. For many years, EUS-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) was traditionally used to obtain ...

Endoscopic Treatment of Post-Cholecystectomy Biliary Leaks

Abstract: Postcholecystectomy leaks may occur in 0.3-2.7% of patients. Bile leaks associated with laparoscopy are often more complex and difficult to treat than those occurring after open cholecystectomy. Furthermore, their incidence has remained unchanged despite improvements in laparoscopic training and technological developments. The management of biliary leaks has evolved from surgery into a minimally invas...
