Traditionally, malignant biliary obstruction is relieved by placing a transpapillary stent during endoscopic retrograde cholangioscopy (ERCP). Pancreatitis is a possible adverse event of ERCP. Additionally,

The current standard method for diagnosing and staging esophageal subepithelial lesions and tumors is endoscopic ultrasound (EUS). This study focused on a newly developed medical

ERCP is generally the first-line approach for palliation of distal malignant biliary obstruction (DMBO), but interest in the use of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided transmural drainage

Malignant gastric outlet obstruction (mGOO) results in significant morbidity and decreased quality of life. Treatment options include surgical gastrojejunostomy (SGJ) and endoscopic ultrasound-guided gastroenterostomy (EUS-GE).

ERCP and EUS are essential in treating a variety of disease entities. Metrics exist to measure performance quality, but data are necessary to improve quality

Sporadic pancreatic insulinomas (PIs) are challenging lesions with low oncologic risk but a high symptom burden. Despite their low malignant risk, the debilitating symptoms of

Malignant gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) has a profound negative impact on quality of life (QoL). Options for palliation include surgical gastroenterostomy, enteral stent placement, and,

Tissue sampling of subepithelial lesions (SELs) is needed to determine the diagnosis, malignant potential, and management of these lesions. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration and/or

Although small (<2 cm), nonfunctioning pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) are typically followed, there are instances, such as patient anxiety, that prompt resection. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided ethanol

Cholecystitis following biliary drainage with a self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS) in patients with distal malignant biliary obstruction (MBO) and cystic duct orifice involvement is significant.

This article uses data from multiple sources to estimate gastrointestinal, liver, and pancreatic health care expenditures, ambulatory visits, and hospitalizations, as well as endoscopic procedural
