Background: Transoral outlet reduction endoscopy (TORe) has been shown to be effective in managing weight regain after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), as has the glucagon-like peptide-1 agonist, liraglutide. However, the effect of adjunctive liraglutide after TORe has yet to be assessed…

Barrett’s esophagus (BE), a pre-malignant precursor of esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC), when recognized early through screening, could potentially allow for endoscopic surveillance or endoscopic eradication therapy…

BACKGROUND: Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is associated with increased mortality, falls, and frequent hospitalizations. Patient reported outcomes (PROs) are useful tools to assess health-related quality of life (HRQOL) measures such as impairment of sleep, cognition, or activity…

Germline genetic testing is recommended for younger patients with idiopathic pancreatitis, but there is no consensus recommendation for those over age 35. We aimed to analyze the results of genetic testing for pancreatic genetic mutations using a large dataset including all ages…

EUS-guided gastroenterostomy (EUS-GE) is a novel method for palliating gastric outlet obstructon due to unresectable malignancies…

Gastrojejunal (GJ) anastomotic strictures are a relatively common complication, occurring in up to 15% of patients after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). Endoscopic balloon dilations are the initial therapeutic procedure for these anastomotic strictures…

Pancreaticoduodenectomy (Whipple) is a complex surgery associated with postoperative morbidity ranging from 30-60%. Delayed gastric emptying and bile reflux gastropathy are well-known problems in long-term survivors…

Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) are advanced gastrointestinal lesion resection techniques that allow for precise resection and curative treatment while minimizing need for surgical interventions…

High migration rates have been reported for fully covered esophageal stents. Endoscopic suture fixation may prevent migration and be cost-effective; however, prospective studies are lacking…
