Gastric peroral endoscopic pyloromyotomy versus gastric electrical stimulation in the treatment of refractory gastroparesis: a propensity score-matched analysis of long term outcomes

Gastric peroral endoscopic pyloromyotomy (G-POEM) and gastric electrical stimulation (GES) have been reported as treatment options for refractory gastroparesis. In this study, we compared the long term clinical outcomes of G-POEM versus GES in the treatment of such patients.

A prospective study of fully covered metal stents for different types of refractory benign biliary strictures

While endoscopic management of benign biliary strictures (BBSs) is the standard of care, long-term treatment remains the issue in refractory cases, especially for anastomotic strictures after living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT) and hepaticojejunostomy anastomotic strictures (HJAS). The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a fully covered self-expandable metal stent (FCSEMS) for patients with refractory BBSs.

Self-expandable metal stents for obstructing colonic and extracolonic cancer: European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) Guideline – Update 2020

This evidence- and consensus-based clinical guideline has been developed by the European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE). It is an update of the previously published guideline, and aims to put into perspective the new evidence that has become available over the last 5 years and to provide statements regarding the use of SEMS in the treatment of malignant colonic obstruction.
