Project description:There is no clinical report on the use of natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) for the management of patients with large liver cysts.This study aims to evaluate the feasibility and safety of NOTES for liver cyst fenestration in humans using a currently available technique.From February 2009 to June 2010, 4 cases of transgastric endoscopic liver cyst fenestration were performed; in which 3 cases received NOTES only, while 1 case received additional laparoscopic assistance.Mean time to endoscopically locate the liver cyst was 16 minutes (5-22 minutes). Cysts that were present in the left lobe or on the liver surface were easier to locate endoscopically. Transgastric endoscopic liver cyst fenestration was successful in all patients. The use of an occlusion balloon helped in the endoscopic clipping of the gastrotomy incision. Mean operative time was 101.3 minutes (range, 90-112 minutes), and there were no intra- or postoperative complications including infections. All patients recovered well after the surgery, with only minor postoperative throat pain. There was no recurrence at a mean follow-up of 12 months (range, 6-48 months).Small sample size.It may be technically feasible and safe to perform transgastric endoscopic liver cyst fenestration in humans with no recurrence at follow up.

Project description:BackgroundNeurenteric cysts are rare congenital lesions of endodermal origin which result from the failure of the neurenteric canal to close during embryogenesis. The majority of neurenteric cysts occur in the spinal cord, though in rare instances can occur intracranially, typically in the posterior fossa anterior to the pontomedullary junction (80%) or in the supratentorial region adjacent to the frontal lobes (20%).Case descriptionWe present the case of a 75-year-old woman with an extra-axial cystic lesion centered in the premedullary cistern causing brainstem compression. The lesion was later histopathologically confirmed to be a neurenteric cyst. She presented initially with a 4-month history of worsening headache, dizziness, and unsteady gait. We performed a left retrosigmoid craniotomy for cyst fenestration/biopsy with the aid of operating microscope and stealth neuronavigation. Following the procedure, the patient recovered without complications or residual deficits.ConclusionThis case illustrates the successful fenestration of an intracranial neurenteric cyst with good clinical outcome. We present the pre- and post-operative imaging findings, a technical video of the procedure, histopathological confirmation, and a brief review of the relevant clinical literature on the topic.

Project description:Cystic lesions of the spleen are a rare encounter in surgical practice and are broadly split into two categories: true and false, depending upon the presence of a defined epithelial lining. True cysts can further be broken down into parasitic and non-parasitic origins while false or pseudocysts tend to develop commonly after a traumatic event. We present here a 23-year-old female who came to the clinic with symptoms of abdominal fullness, early satiety and left flank pain which was diagnosed as a large splenic cyst after radiology confirmation. The patient was prepared and underwent laparoscopic splenic cyst fenestration successfully without any complications. Laparoscopic fenestration for benign uncomplicated splenic cysts is a viable alternative to splenectomy with low rates of recurrence and less patient morbidity along with the advantage of preservation of splenic function.

Project description:BackgroundGastric duplication cyst associated with ectopic pancreas is rare and we aimed to alert clinician to this congenital anomaly.Case presentationA 15-year-old girl presented with intermittent vomiting. Gastroscopy showed a submucosal tumor with an approximate diameter of 40 mm in the anterior wall of the gastric antrum. The lesion had a central umbilication and was diagnosed preliminarily as gastric ectopic pancreas with pseudocyst formation on the basis of its appearance. However, computed tomographic scan showed a thick-walled cystic lesion with an enhanced outline of the cystic wall in the antrum of stomach, suggestive of duplication cyst. Serum amylase was normal. Endoscopic ultrasonography revealed a solid-cystic lesion; the solid portion were inhomogeneously mixed with echoes, and had indistinct border to muscularis propria; the cystic portion had echogenic internal mucosal layer and distinct border to muscularis propria. Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) was suggested for the patient to relieve symptoms and diagnose the lesion definitely. The operation procedure was uneventful and the solid-cystic lesion was resected completely. Histopathologic examination revealed that the solid portion was ectopic pancreas, and the cystic portion was gastric duplication cyst. After resection, the patient discharged successfully and neither symptoms nor tumors recurred during the 9 months follow-up period.ConclusionsThis is the first case of a solid-cystic lesion with central umbilication in the stomach diagnosed as gastric duplication cyst associated with ectopic pancreas. ESD could be an optional treatment to provide a definitive diagnosis.

Project description:(1) Background: The accurate diagnosis of esophageal strictures is quite critical for optimizing medical intervention. However, the diagnosis of suspicious malignant esophageal strictures with intact mucosa appearance and negative biopsy results is challenging. This study aimed to evaluate the role of endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) in the diagnosis of suspicious esophageal strictures. (2) Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the cases with suspicious malignant esophageal strictures that underwent EUS-FNA, with or without rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE), in our hospital from April 2017 to September 2022. Their clinical manifestations, imaging examinations, gastroscopic examinations, EUS-FNA results, and therapeutic strategies were retrospectively recorded and analyzed. (3) Results: A total of 23 patients (15 male and 8 female) were enrolled in this study. Based on EUS-FNA results, 18 patients were diagnosed with malignancies, including 16 cases of primary esophageal cancer (13 squamous carcinomas and 3 adenocarcinomas), 1 case of mediastinal cancer, and 1 case of metastatic esophageal cancer; 1 case of tuberculosis was also confirmed by EUS-FNA. Among 4 cases of ambiguous diagnosis with EUS-FNA, 1 was diagnosed with an esophageal glomus tumor after surgical removal, and 2 patients survived for several years without medical intervention, which hinted at the possibility of benign esophageal strictures. No major complications, including bleeding or perforation, were observed. (4) Conclusions: EUS-FNA may serve as a safe and effective diagnostic tool in suspicious malignant esophageal strictures with accurate specimen acquisition, especially for biopsy-negative cases.
