The role of the digital single-operator pancreatoscopy (D-SOP) with electrohydraulic (EHL) or laser lithotripsy (LL) in treating pancreatic ductal stones is unclear. The authors investigated the safety and efficacy of D-SOP with EHL or LL in patients with obstructing pancreatic duct stones. A total of 109 patients (71 % male, mean age 54.7 ± 15.0 years) underwent D-SOP with EHL or LL for pancreatic ductal stones. Complete ductal clearance using EHL/LL (technical success) was achieved in 89.9 % of patients, and in 73.5 % was accomplished in a single session.

The authors developed an e-learning program for endoscopic diagnosis of invasion depth of early gastric cancer (EGC) using a simple diagnostic criterion called non-extension sign, and the contribution of self-study quizzes to improvement of diagnostic accuracy was evaluated.

There is a high prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection. White light endoscopy (WLE) can be used for evaluating the mucosal lesions, but it does not have high diagnostic efficiency. Linked color imaging (LCI) is a newly developed endoscopic imaging technique. The aim of this study was to compare LCI with WLE in detecting and staging H. pylori infection in the stomach in a randomized controlled clinical trial.
