Endoscopic intraductal radiofrequency ablation (ID‐RFA) can curatively treat residual intraductal lesions after endoscopic papillectomy. This study aimed to verify the tissue invasiveness of ID‐RFA using a novel RF generator and to explore its appropriate settings in an animal experiment, followed by a small clinical study.

Endoscopic management of primary sclerosing cholangitis
Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a progressive autoimmune hepatobiliary disease characterized by fibrotic strictures in the bile ducts, leading to chronic cholestasis and cirrhosis. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) is a noninvasive method for evaluating the condition of the bile ducts, and has high sensitivity and specificity ...

Endoscopic diagnosis of immunoglobulin G4‐related sclerosing cholangitis
Immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)‐related sclerosing cholangitis (IgG4‐SC) is a distinct form of sclerosing cholangitis frequently associated with autoimmune pancreatitis and is recognized as a biliary manifestation of IgG4‐related disease. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) are key diagnostic modalities ...

Approximately one in three patients with Rome IV functional dyspepsia (FD) consume opioids and this is associated with older age, depression/anxiety, and chronic pain. Opioid cessation alongside a neuromodulator improved symptoms in 29% of cases, with a number needed to treat of 5.7, suggesting that this treatment strategy may be beneficial in FD ...

Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography and Sphincterotomy
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is an important diagnostic technique to evaluate patients with biliary and pancreatic disease. Since 1970, over 1000 ERCPs in the Surgical Endoscopy Unit of Beth Israel Medical Center have been performed; this report summarizes the most recent 300 cases.

We present a simple method using one capsule of radiopaque markers and one CT scan, which was feasible for evaluating gastrointestinal transit time during hospitalization for acute pancreatitis. During treatment with methylnaltrexone, we found no difference in gastrointestinal transit time compared with placebo.

Abstract Gastric abscess is a rare condition caused by gastric barrier damage. It is easily misdiagnosed in clinical practice as a cancer recurrence or submucosal tumor, especially after surgery or endoscopic submucosal dissection. With a relatively high mortality rate, the cause and clinical characteristics of gastric abscesses are obscure.

Abstract Acute cholecystitis is frequently encountered in daily clinical practice, and early cholecystectomy is the standard therapy. In high‐risk surgical patients, such as those with advanced age, deteriorated performance status, or underlying diseases, conservative treatment is typically preferred to manage acute cholecystitis.
