Abstract The purpose of this technical note is to describe a reproducible surgical technique for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction combined with a lateral tenodesis using a continuous iliotibial band autograft that allows self‐augmentation of graft diameter without the need for additional tendon harvesting.

Abstract Posterior shoulder dislocation is often accompanied by a reverse Hill‐Sachs lesion that may engage the posterior glenoid rim and drive recurrent instability. Lesions involving >25% of the humeral articular surface frequently require surgery. We describe an all‐arthroscopic, joint‐preserving technique that combines humeral reconstruction with ...

Selection criteria for preoperative endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography before laparoscopic cholecystectomy and endoscopic treatment of bile duct stones. Results of a retrospective; single center study between 1996-2002 [PDF]
AIM: The optimal treatment for bile duct stones (in terms of cost, complications and accuracy) is unclear. The aim of our study was to determine the predictive factors for preoperative endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).

Non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding: advances and future directions in management [PDF]
Numerous clinical guidelines have been developed for the management of non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding (NVUGIB), yet significant variations exist among the recommendations. This review summarizes the most recent evidence on NVUGIB management,

Polyglycolic Acid Shield Prevents Repeated Delayed Bleeding After Endoscopic Stricturotomy for Anastomotic Stricture in Crohn's Disease: A Case Report. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Endoscopic stricturotomy (ES) is a novel approach for treating benign strictures of the lower gastrointestinal tract. However, it is performed at a limited number of facilities, and strategies for preventing complications have not yet been established. We performed ES for ileo‐sigmoid anastomosis associated with Crohn's disease (CD).

Post-Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography Bleeding After Endoscopic Stone Removal in Dialysis Patients: A Multicenter Retrospective Study. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Objectives Post‐endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (post‐ERCP) bleeding occurs more frequently in dialysis patients than in non‐dialysis patients. This study aimed to identify risk factors for post‐ERCP bleeding following stone removal in patients undergoing dialysis.

Endoscopic ultrasound hemostasis techniques.
Since its development, endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) has evolved from a simple diagnostic technique to an important therapeutic tool for interventional endoscopy. EUS analysis provides real-time imaging of most major thoracic and abdominal vessels, and the possibility to use needle puncture with a curved linear array echoendoscope as a vascular ...

Endowashers: an overlooked risk for possible post-endoscopic infections. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Prevention of post-endoscopy infections is an important objective to assure patient safety. Endowashers, or high throughput irrigation water pumps, are a frequently used device on endoscopes.

Abstract Anterior cruciate ligament rupture, a common sports‐related knee injury, often causes instability and functional impairment and increases the long‐term risk of osteoarthritis. Traditional remnant‐preserving anatomical reconstruction is the first‐line treatment for midsubstance tears, but optimal management of femoral‐side avulsion injuries ...
