PURPOSE: In clinical practice the assessment of the "vocal cord-arytenoid unit" (VCAU) mobility is crucial in the staging, prognosis, and choice of treatment of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC). The aim of the present study was to measure repeatability and reliability of clinical assessment of VCAU mobility and radiologic analysis of posterior laryngeal extension. METHODS: In this multi-institutional retrospective study, patients with LSCC-induced impairment of VCAU mobility who received curative treatment were included; pre-treatment endoscopy and contrast-enhanced imaging were collected and evaluated by raters...

According to the World Health Organization, the proportion of the world's population over 60 years will approximately double by 2050. This progressive increase in the elderly population will lead to a dramatic growth of age-related diseases, resulting in tremendous pressure on the sustainability of healthcare systems globally. In this context, finding more efficient ways to address cancers, a set of diseases whose incidence is correlated with age, is of utmost importance. Prevention of cancers to decrease morbidity relies on the identification of precursor lesions before the onset of the disease, or at least diagnosis at an early stage...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Emergency colectomies are associated with a higher risk of complications compared to elective ones. A critical assessment of complications occurring beyond post-operative day 30 (POD30) is lacking. This study aimed to assess the readmission rate and factors associated with readmission 6-months following emergency colectomy. METHODS: A retrospective cohort study of adult patients who underwent emergency colectomy (2010-2018) was performed using the Nationwide Readmissions Database...

An important step in the performance of endoscopic resection of colloid cysts of the third ventricle is the forced aspiration of cyst contents. The different consistencies these cysts may have can limit their complete resection and increase the likelihood of complications. The introduction of the ultrasonic neuroendoscopic aspirator allows cysts to be emptied more easily than with a conventional rigid aspirator, improving the feasibility of resection even in more solid cysts. The ability to regulate ultrasound and aspiration increases safety in a reduced and highly morbid space such as the third ventricle...

Zenker diverticulum is a rare disease accounting for 1.5-5% of esophageal diverticula. For a long time, surgical treatment of Zenker pharyngoesophageal diverticula implied open diverticulectomy via cervical approach. However, this intervention is characterized by high postoperative morbidity and recurrence rate. Oral endoscopic minimally invasive cricopharyngoesophagomyotomy has become widespread over the past 10 years. We present a 55-year-old female who underwent endoscopic treatment for recurrent Zenker diverticulum and postoperative esophageal stricture...

Celiac disease (CeD) is a chronic immune-mediated condition triggered by gluten consumption in genetically predisposed individuals. Approximately 1% of the general population is affected by the disorder. Disease presentation is heterogeneous, and despite growing awareness among physicians and the public, it continues to be underestimated. The most effective strategy for identifying undiagnosed CeD is proactive case-finding through serologic testing in high-risk groups. We reviewed the most recent evidence on the association between CeD and over 20 conditions...

INTRODUCTION: Training young doctors in functional endoscopic sinus surgery requires dedicated centers for cadaveric dissections. However, ethical constraints have limited cadaver availability. Alternative anatomical models, like the ovine model, are being explored for effective training, offering easier procurement and resembling human head anatomy. This study aims to demonstrate that the ovine model is useful for endoscopic sinus surgery training, highlighting the anatomical, imaging, histological, and endoscopic aspects...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The prevalence of precursor lesions for gastric cancer (GC) and the differential burden between countries of varying GC risk is not well understood. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to estimate the global prevalence of precursor lesions. METHODS: We estimated the prevalence of atrophic gastritis (AG), gastric intestinal metaplasia (IM), and dysplasia in regions with low, medium, and high-GC incidence. Since IM is an advanced manifestation of AG, we assessed the prevalence of less advanced precursors regardless of the presence of more advanced lesions...

Post-cholecystectomy iatrogenic bile duct injuries (IBDIs), are not uncommon and although the frequency of IBDIs vary across the literature, the rates following the procedure of laparoscopic cholecystectomy are much higher than open cholecystectomy. These injuries caries a great burden on the patients, physicians and the health care systems and sometime are life-threatening. IBDIs are associated with different manifestations that are not limited to abdominal pain, bile leaks from the surgical drains, peritonitis with fever and sometimes jaundice...

Background A variety of surgical and non-surgical management options for small renal masses (SRMs) now exist. Surgery, in the form of partial nephrectomy (PN) has three different approaches. It is unclear which partial nephrectomy approach, if any, offers superior clinical outcomes. Aim To compare outcomes in patients with SRMs less than 4cm undergoing PN via open (OPN), laparoscopic (LPN) or robotic (RPN) approach, and to establish the advantages and disadvantages of the various approaches. Methods A systematic literature search in line with PRISMA guidelines was conducted for studies comparing at least two of the above techniques...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The widespread use of peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) has revolutionized the management of esophageal motility disorders (EMDs). The introduction of an endoluminal functional lumen imaging probe (EndoFLIP) can serve as a complimentary diagnostic tool to assess the mechanical properties (i.e., pressure, diameter, distensibility and topography) of the esophagus. During EndoFLIP measurements, different anesthesia techniques may induce variable degrees of neuromuscular blockade, potentially affecting esophageal motility and altering the results of EndoFLIP metrics...
