Graphical Abstract Abstract PDF PubReader ePub: Background
/Aims: Underwater endoscopic mucosal resection (UEMR) is the standard resection method for superficial non-ampullary duodenal tumors (SNADETs). We developed a novel UEMR technique that creates an anchor by protruding the distal fold with a saline injection (UEMR-A). The aim of this study was to clarify the usefulness of UEMR-A compared to conventional UEMR (UEMR-C).
Methods
This retrospective observational study included patients who underwent UEMR for SNADETs.
Results
A total of 141 patients were included and divided into UEMR-A (n=54) and UEMR-C (n=87) groups. Lesion resection was performed significantly more frequently by an expert endoscopist in the UEMR-C group compared to the UEMR-A group (p<0.001). The procedure time for UEMR-A was significantly shorter than that for UEMR-C (p=0.018), despite the additional time required for submucosal injection. The R0 resection rate was significantly higher in the UEMR-A group than in the UEMR-C group (p=0.004). The horizontal margins were significantly clearer in the UEMR-A group than in the UEMR-C group (p=0.018). Multivariate analysis revealed that the use of UEMR-A was the only significant positive factor for R0 resection.
Conclusions
The UEMR-A technique for SNADETs appears to improve R0 resection rates and reduce procedure times compared to the UEMR-C technique.

Background
/Aims: The clinical impact of single-stage endoscopic stone extraction by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and cholecystectomy during the same hospitalization remains elusive. This study aimed to determine the efficacy and safety of single-stage ERCP and cholecystectomy during the same hospitalization in patients with cholangitis.
Methods
We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 166 patients who underwent ERCP for mild to moderate cholangitis due to choledocholithiasis secondary to cholecystolithiasis from 2012 to 2016.
Results
Complete stone extraction was accomplished in 92% of patients (152/166) at the first ERCP. Among 152 patients who underwent complete stone extraction, cholecystectomy was scheduled for 119 patients (78%). Cholecystectomy was performed during the same hospitalization in 89% of patients (106/119). We compared two groups of patients: those who underwent cholecystectomy during the same hospitalization (n=106) and those who underwent cholecystectomy during a subsequent hospitalization (n=13). In the delayed group, cholecystectomy was performed about three months after the first ERCP. There were no significant differences between the groups in terms of operative time, rate of postoperative complications, and interval from cholecystectomy to discharge.
Conclusions
Single-stage endoscopic stone extraction is recommended in patients with mild to moderate acute cholangitis due to choledocholithiasis. The combination of endoscopic stone extraction and cholecystectomy during the same hospitalization is safe and feasible.
