Primary Barbed Suture Versus T‐Tube Drainage After Laparoscopic Common Bile Duct Exploration: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims T‐tube drainage has traditionally been used after laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) to reduce the risk of bile leakage; however, it is associated with prolonged hospital stay and tube‐related complications. Primary closure of the common bile duct has emerged as an alternative strategy, but concerns regarding

Beyond a Conduit: The Evolution of Functional Biliary Stents From Active Intervention to Enabling Platforms

iNew Medicine, Volume 2, Issue 1, March 2026.
This review traces the evolution of functional biliary stents, outlining the paradigm shift from “active intervention” strategies that target stent failure to next‐generation “enabling platforms.” These platforms leverage biodegradable materials, 3D/4D printing, and smart sensors to achieve personalized, regenerative, and theranostic solutions ...

Cost‐Effectiveness and Efficacy of Biodegradable Pancreatic Stents for Preventing Post‐ERCP Pancreatitis: A Retrospective Multi‐Center Study

JGH Open, Volume 10, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Post‐endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) pancreatitis (PEP) occurs in up to 10% of cases. Prophylactic pancreatic stenting reduces PEP risk; however, plastic stents frequently require an additional procedure for removal, increasing cost and patient burden.

Effects of Pancreatic Duct Stenting on Nutrition and Pancreatic Function in Unresectable Pancreatic Cancer: A Pilot Study

JGH Open, Volume 10, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Aims Malnutrition due to pancreatic enzyme insufficiency and cancer‐related systemic effects is common in advanced pancreatic cancer and worsens survival. Pancreatic duct stenosis can lead to obstructive pancreatitis, enzyme elevation, and nutritional decline.

Incidence of Cholangitis in Post‐Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP): A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

JGH Open, Volume 10, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a procedure that combines x‐ray and upper gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy for diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic and biliary diseases. Cholangitis is the main infectious complication after ERCP surgery.

Loss of Response to Anti‐Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha Therapy in Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Real‐World Comparison of Combination Therapy Versus Monotherapy

JGH Open, Volume 10, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives The success of anti‐TNFα agents has changed the landscape of treatment for inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). One major limitation to this success is the secondary loss of response (sLOR) phenomenon. Combination therapy with immunomodulating agents has been shown to be effective in reducing the sLOR process.
