Abstract

Background And Aim:

There have been studies on risk factors for stenosis after pyloric endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). However, the most appropriate strategies for the management of cases with these risk factors have not been established. This study aimed to investigate post-ESD management by evaluating the timing of stenosis and the effectiveness of endoscopic balloon dilation (EBD) after pyloric ESD.

Methods:

We retrospectively reviewed cases of pyloric ESD. We first reassessed risk factors for stenosis in multivariate analysis and receiver operating characteristic curve and defined patients with the identified risk factors as the risk group. The primary outcome was the timing of stenosis in the risk group assessed by the Kaplan-Meier method.

Results:

We reviewed 159 cases with pyloric ESD and observed pyloric stenosis in 25 cases. Cases with circumferential mucosal defect ≥ 76% were identified as the risk group. The stenosis-free probability in the risk group was 97% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 79-100%), 94% (95% CI: 76-98%), and 85% (95% CI: 66-93%) on days 7, 14, and 21, respectively. It decreased every week thereafter and did not significantly change after day 56. Twenty-three stenosis cases, except for conservative improvement, including six whole circumferential pyloric ESD cases, were improved by EBD without complications.

Conclusions:

Post-ESD stenosis often developed from the third to the eighth week. In all pyloric ESD cases, including whole circumferential pyloric ESD cases, pyloric stenosis was improved following EBD without complications.

Peptic Ulcer Disease V: Surgical Management and Nursing Care

Surgical management and nursing care are crucial in treating Peptic Ulcer Disease (PUD). Here is an organized and enhanced overview of the surgical interventions and the associated nursing care for PUD:
Surgical Interventions for Peptic Ulcer Disease

Endoscopic Procedures I: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy

Endoscopic Procedures I: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy

An Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is a diagnostic procedure in which an endoscopist uses a flexible, lighted endoscope to visualize the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The procedure includes visualizing the oropharynx, esophagus, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine, the duodenum.
During an EGD, the endoscope can be used to:

Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP

Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP

Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a diagnostic procedure that combines endoscopy and fluoroscopy to diagnose and treat conditions related to the bile ducts, pancreatic ducts, and gallbladder. This procedure is beneficial for identifying and addressing blockages, gallstones, strictures, and tumors within the biliary or pancreatic systems. ERCP is both diagnostic and therapeutic, offering the ability to visualize and treat identified problems in one session.

Peptic Ulcer Disease IV: Management

Medical treatment strategies for peptic ulcers encompass various methods. The primary goal of treatment is to diminish gastric acidity and strengthen mucosal defense mechanisms.
The therapeutic approach involves ensuring adequate rest, implementing drug therapy, promoting smoking cessation, making dietary modifications, and emphasizing long-term follow-up care.
Pharmacological management

Peptic Ulcer Disease III: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies

Peptic ulcer disease (PUD) presents with diverse symptoms depending on the location and severity of the ulcer. Clinical manifestations of peptic ulcer include dull pain and a burning sensation in the mid-epigastric region.
Few clinical manifestations differentiate gastric ulcers from duodenal ulcers. Distinctions in the location, timing, and pain relief are crucial for healthcare providers in differentiating between gastric and duodenal ulcers during clinical assessments.

Esophageal Strictures-II: Clinical Features and Management

Patients with esophageal strictures often experience a range of symptoms. Initially, they may have difficulty swallowing solid foods, which can progress to include liquids. Additional symptoms may involve chest pain or discomfort, regurgitating food and fluids, heartburn, unintentional weight loss, coughing or choking during meals, and hoarseness.
Healthcare providers should gather a comprehensive medical history and conduct a physical examination for diagnosis. If esophageal stricture is...
