RESUMEN
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Underwater EMR (UEMR) is an alternative procedure to conventional EMR (CEMR) to treat large, nonpedunculated colorectal lesions (LNPCLs). In this multicenter, randomized controlled clinical trial, we aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of UEMR versus CEMR on LNPCLs. METHODS: We conducted a multicenter, randomized controlled clinical trial from February 2018 to February 2020 in 11 hospitals in Spain. A total of 298 patients (311 lesions) were randomized to the UEMR (n = 149) and CEMR (n = 162) groups. The main outcome was the lesion recurrence rate in at least 1 follow-up colonoscopy. Secondary outcomes included technical aspects, en bloc resection rate, R0 resection rates, and adverse events, among others. RESULTS: There were no differences in the overall recurrence rate (9.5% UEMR vs 11.7% CEMR; absolute risk difference, -2.2%; 95% CI, -9.4 to 4.9). However, considering polyp sizes between 20 and 30 mm, the recurrence rate was lower for UEMR (3.4% UEMR vs 13.1% CEMR; absolute risk difference, -9.7%; 95% CI, -19.4 to 0). The R0 resection showed the same tendency, with significant differences favoring UEMR only for polyps between 20 and 30 mm. Overall, UEMR was faster and easier to perform than CEMR. Importantly, the techniques were equally safe. CONCLUSIONS: UEMR is a valid alternative to CEMR for treating LNPCLs and could be considered the first option of treatment for lesions between 20 and 30 mm due to its higher en bloc and R0 resection rates.

A 54-year-old man consulted for low back pain of 5 weeks of evolution, refractory to regular analgesics, and significant weight loss. The PET-CT revealed a retroperitoneal mass in contact with the anterior wall of the abdominal aorta. After consulting with the Endoscopy Unit, an endoscopic ultrasound-guided FNAP was performed due to the accessibility of the lesion and the less invasive nature of these procedures. The anatomopathological result was angiosarcoma of the aorta.

BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS: Data from Japanese series show that surface morphology of laterally spreading tumors (LST) in the colon identifies lesions with different incidence and pattern of submucosal invasion. Such data from western countries are scarce. We compared clinical and histological features of LST in a western country and an eastern country, with special interest on mucosal invasiveness of LST, and investigated the effect of clinical factors on invasiveness in both countries. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients with LST lesions ≥20mm were included from a multicenter prospective registry in Spain and from a retrospective registry from the National Cancer Center Hospital East, Japan. The primary outcome was the presence of submucosal invasion in LST. The secondary outcome was the presence of high-risk histology, defined as high-grade dysplasia or submucosal invasion. RESULTS: We evaluated 1102 patients in Spain and 663 in Japan. Morphological and histological characteristics differed. The prevalence of submucosal invasion in Japan was six-fold the prevalence in Spain (Prevalence Ratio PR=5.66; 95%CI: 3.96, 8.08), and the prevalence of high-risk histology was 1.5 higher (PR=1.44; 95%CI: 1.31, 1.58). Compared to the granular homogeneous type and adjusted by clinical features, granular mixed, flat elevated, and pseudo-depressed types were associated with higher odds of submucosal invasion in Japan, whereas only the pseudo-depressed type showed higher risk in Spain. Regarding high-risk histology, both granular mixed and pseudo-depressed were associated with higher odds in Japan, compared with only the granular mixed type in Spain. CONCLUSION: This study reveals differences in location, morphology and invasiveness of LST in an eastern and a western cohort.

Over the last few years early esophageal tumors, whether squamous-cell or associated with Barrett's esophagus, have been excised using endoscopic resection techniques, primarily endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). Esophageal surgery-associated morbidity and mortality are thus avoided with similar oncologic outcomes. ESD is not without complications, many of which arise and are endoscopically solved during the procedure itself (bleeding, perforation, etc.). Other complications develop within days or weeks after resection, these including mainly esophageal stricture. Esophageal strictures following ESD are initially managed with endoscopic balloon dilation (EBD). Preventive measures have been suggested to alleviate this complication, primarily by using local or systemic steroids in association with early dilation. Even so, not always may they be prevented. Such complications are called refractory strictures, which require either esophageal stents (in a majority of cases) or surgery.

Gastric volvulus is a rare entity that occurs as a consequence of a rotation of the stomach of more than 180°, with gastric outlet obstruction and vascular compromise. It occurs secondary to diaphragmatic defects in most cases and is mainly reported in elderly patients who are fragile and present severe associated comorbidities. Here we present a nonsurgical treatment with the use of a single percutaneous endoscopic tube to perform gastropexy in patients with a high risk for surgery or inoperable patients. We present two cases that show that this therapeutic option is viable, with acceptable results under very specific clinical conditions.

Introducción: El síndrome de obstrucción antroduodenal es una complicación presente en neoplasias avanzadas. Se caracteriza por clínica de obstrucción gastrointestinal alta, con desnutrición progresiva, y se asocia con una disminución de la supervivencia. La derivación mediante gastroyeyunostomía y el tratamiento endoscópico (TE) son las alternativas para el tratamiento del síndrome de obstrucción antroduodenal. El objetivo de este estudio es comparar la eficacia y la supervivencia de ambas. Métodos: Estudio monocentro, observacional y prospectivo de 58 pacientes con síndrome de obstrucción antroduodenal que recibieron tratamiento quirúrgico mediante gastroyeyunostomía con separación gástrica parcial (GYSGP) o TE con prótesis enterales autoexpandibles entre los años 2007-2018. Resultados: A 30 pacientes se les realizó GYSGP y a 28 pacientes TE. La edad media de los pacientes con GYSGP fue significativamente menor (69 vs. 78 años, p = 0,001). No hubo diferencias en cuanto al sexo, el riesgo anestésico-quirúrgico ni la etiología de la neoplasia. Las complicaciones posprocedimiento fueron superiores, aunque no significativas, en el grupo de GYSGP (p = 0,156). El TE se asoció con una menor estancia hospitalaria (p = 0,02) y una mayor precocidad de la tolerancia oral (p < 0,0001). Sin embargo, los pacientes presentaron tasas más altas de obstrucción persistente y recurrente (p = 0,048 y 0,01, respectivamente), unos peores objetivos energéticos (p = 0,009) y una supervivencia menor (9,61 vs. 4,47 meses, p = 0,008). Conclusiones: La GYSGP obtiene una mayor permeabilidad luminal, una mejor tolerancia a la vía oral y una mayor supervivencia. El TE estaría recomendado para pacientes no subsidiarios de la cirugía con un pronóstico limitado a corto plazo
Introduction: Gastric outlet obstruction is a complication of advanced tumors. It causes upper gastrointestinal obstruction, with progressive malnutrition and reduced survival. Currently, gastrojejunostomy or stent placement (SP) are feasible alternatives for the treatment of malignant gastric outlet obstruction. The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy and survival of both techniques. Methods: Single-center observational and prospective study of 58 patients with gastric outlet obstruction who underwent surgical treatment with stomach-partitioning gastrojejunostomy (SPGJ) or SP with self-expanding intraluminal prostheses between 2007 and 2018. Results: Thirty patients underwent SPGJ and 28 SP. The mean age of the first group was significantly lower (69 vs. 78 years, respectively; P = .001). There were no statistically significant differences in terms of sex, perioperative risk or tumor etiology. Postoperative complications were non-significantly higher in the SPGJ group (P = .156). SP was associated with a shorter hospital stay (P = .02) and faster oral intake (P < .0001). However, SP had significantly higher rates of persistent and recurrent obstruction (P = .048 and .01, respectively), poorer energy targets (P=.009) and shorter survival (9.61 vs. 4.47 months; P = .008). Conclusions: SPGJ presents greater luminal permeability, better oral intake and greater survival than SP. SP is preferable for non-surgical patients with a limited short-term prognosis

Antecedentes: el síndrome de intestino irritable tipo estreñimiento (SII-E) es una patología prevalente, compleja y multifactorial que representa un desafío tanto desde el punto de vista diagnóstico como terapéutico. Objetivo: evaluar la efectividad, seguridad y satisfacción de linaclotida en pacientes con SII-E. Métodos: estudio prospectivo, unicéntrico y observacional realizado en pacientes con diagnóstico de SII-E. Los pacientes recibieron tratamiento con linaclotida (Constella(r), Allergan Inc., Irvine, CA), 290 microgramos/24 horas, una cápsula 30 minutos antes del desayuno. La variable primaria de efectividad fue el número de deposiciones por semana. Las variables secundarias incluían el grado de satisfacción y el registro de la frecuencia e intensidad de los síntomas (dolor e hinchazón), medidos mediante una escala visual analógica (EVA) de once niveles (0-10), y recogidas mediante un diario que se entregó al paciente. Resultados: treinta pacientes, todas mujeres, fueron incluidas consecutivamente. La mediana del tiempo de seguimiento fue de 18 meses. La media (deviación estándar [DE]) de deposiciones por semana aumentó desde 0,9 (0,6) al inicio del estudio hasta 4,7 (3,7) al final del mismo (p < 0,0001). Resultados similares fueron observados con el dolor (5,7 [2,3] frente a 3,1 [2,8] al inicio y al final del estudio, respectivamente, p < 0,0001) y con la hinchazón (6,8 [1,6] frente a 2,9 [2,5] al inicio y final del estudio, respectivamente, p < 0,0001). El grado medio (DE) de satisfacción al final del estudio fue 6,7 (3,0). Conclusiones: el tratamiento con linaclotida en pacientes con SII-E en el entorno de la práctica clínica se ha mostrado eficaz y seguro a largo plazo
Background: constipation-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (C-IBS) is a prevalent, complex and multifactorial disorder that represents a challenge in terms of diagnosis and therapeutic management. Objective: to evaluate the effectiveness, safety and treatment satisfaction of linaclotide in C-IBS patients. Methods: prospective, single-center and observational study conducted in patients diagnosed with C-IBS. The patients were treated with linaclotide (Constella(r), Allergan Inc., Irvine, CA), once-daily via an oral capsule of 290-µg, 30 minutes before breakfast. The primary effectiveness endpoint was the number of bowel movements per week. The secondary endpoints included treatment satisfaction and changes from baseline in frequency and severity of symptoms (abdominal pain and bloating). This was assessed via an 11-point visual analog scale (VAS) reported by the patients in a daily register. Results: thirty female patients were consecutively included. The median follow-up time was 18 months. The mean (standard deviation [SD]) number of weekly bowel movements significantly increased from 0.9 (0.6) at baseline to 4.7 (3.9) at the end of follow-up, p < 0.0001. Abdominal pain significantly decreased from 5.7 (2.3) at baseline to 3.1 (2.8) at the end of the follow-up period, p < 0.0001. Similarly, bloating significantly decreased from 6.8 (1.6) to 2.9 (2.5) at the beginning and end of the treatment period, respectively, p < 0.0001. The mean (SD) degree of satisfaction at the end of the study was 6.7 (3.0). Conclusions: long-term linaclotide treatment in patients with C-IBS is effective and safe in the clinical setting

Objetivos: comparar incidencia, mortalidad y características epidemiológicas de los pacientes diagnosticados de cáncer colorrectal (CCR) en la provincia de Salamanca entre dos periodos: 2010-2012 y 2004-2006. Métodos: estudio observacional retrospectivo. Incluimos todos los CCR diagnosticados según criterios histopatológicos del 01/01/2004 al 31/12/2006 y del 01/01/2010 al 31/12/2012. Las variables estudiadas fueron género, edad, fecha de diagnóstico y localización del tumor. Se han calculado incidencia acumulada e incidencia específica por grupos de edad comparando los resultados entre periodos. Hemos ajustado las tasas por edad a la población mundial estándar para poder compararla con otras poblaciones. Resultados: detectamos un 38% más de CCR en el periodo de 2010 a 2012 que en el de 2004 a 2006. Las variables (sexo, edad de diagnóstico y localización) han sido similares en ambos grupos. En el periodo de 2010-2012 se realizaron más del doble de colonoscopias que en el de 2004-2006. La mortalidad poblacional por CCR también aumentó, aunque de manera mucho menos importante que la incidencia. Conclusiones: existe un claro aumento de la incidencia del CCR en la provincia de Salamanca entre los años 2004-2006 y 2010-2012 no relacionado con el envejecimiento. El aumento considerable de colonoscopias puede haber sido un factor importante para el aumento en la detección (AU)
Objectives: To compare incidence, mortality and epidemiological characteristics of patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer (CRC) in the province of Salamanca over two different periods: 2010-2012 and 2004-2006. Methods: Retrospective observational study. We include all diagnosed cases of CRC according to histopathological criteria from 01/01/2004 to 31/12/2006 and from 01/01/2010 to 31/12/2012. The studied variables were sex, age, date of diagnosis and tumor location. Cumulative incidence and specific incidence in different age groups were measured and compared between the two periods. The age rates were adjusted to the standard world population so that the results could be compared with those of other populations. Results: We detected 38% more cases of CRC in the 2010-2012 period than in 2004-2006. Variables distribution (sex, age at diagnosis and location) was similar in both groups. More than twice as many colonoscopies were performed in 2010-2012 than in 2004-2006. Population mortality due to CRC also increased, although much less importantly than the incidence of this condition. Conclusions: There has been a clear increase in CRC incidence in the province of Salamanca from 2004-2006 to 2010-2012 which is not related to the ageing of the population. The remarkable increase in colonoscopies may have been an important factor for the increased detection (AU)

BACKGROUND: In patients with unresectable gastric cancer and outlet obstruction syndrome, gastric partitioning gastrojejunostomy is an alternative, which could avoid the drawbacks of the standard techniques. OBJECTIVE: Comparison of antroduodenal stent, conventional gastrojejunostomy and gastric partitioning gastrojejunostomy. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A retrospective, cross-sectional study was conducted on patients with unresectable distal gastric cancer and gastric outlet obstruction, treated with the three different techniques over the last 12 years, comparing results based on oral tolerance and complications. An analysis was performed on the results using the Student-t test for independent variables. RESULTS: The 22 patients were divided in 3 groups: group I (6 cases) stent, group II (9 cases) conventional gastrojejunostomy, and group III (7 cases) gastric partitioning gastrojejunostomy, respectively. The stent allows a shorter "postoperative" stay and early onset of oral tolerance (P<0.05), however, the gastric partitioning gastrojejunostomy achieve normal diet at 15th day (P<0.05). The mortality rate was higher in the stent group (33%) compared with surgical techniques, with a morbidity of 4/6 (66.7%) in Group I, 6/9 (66.7%) Group II, and 3/7 (42%) Group III. Re-interventions: 2/6 Group I, 3/9 Group II, and 0/7 Group III. The median survival was superior in the gastric partitioning gastrojejunostomy, achieving an overall survival of 6.5 months. CONCLUSIONS: The gastric partitioning gastrojejunostomy for treatment of gastric outlet obstruction in unresectable advanced gastric cancer is a safe technique, allowing a more complete diet with lower morbidity and improved survival.

Introducción: el duodeno es la localización más frecuente de varices ectópicas. Su sangrado es poco frecuente, pero cuando ocurre, es masivo y de difícil control. Material y métodos: descripción retrospectiva de cinco casos clínicos de hemorragia digestiva secundaria a varices duodenales en los años 2011 y 2012, sus características clínicas, diagnóstico endoscópico, tratamiento endoscópico con inyección de cianoacrilato y posterior seguimiento y valoración de resangrado. Resultados: los cinco pacientes fueron tratados con inyección endoscópica de cianoacrilato de los cuales, dos pacientes experimentaron resangrado. Tres de nuestros pacientes fallecieron durante el seguimiento, uno de ellos por hemorragia digestiva. Conclusión: podemos afirmar que el tratamiento endoscópico de las varices duodenales con cianoacrilato es técnicamente factible, y puede ser de ayuda para controlar el episodio inicial de sangrado de este modo ganar tiempo de cara a otros tratamientos definitivos, siempre y cuando el estado del paciente lo permita (AU)
Background: the duodenum is the most common location for ectopic varices. Bleeding is rare, but when it appears, it is massive and difficult to control. Material and methods: retrospective description of five clinical cases of digestive bleeding secondary to duodenal varices that we observed between the years 2011 and 2012, together with their clinical characteristics, endoscopic diagnosis, endoscopic treatment with cyanoacrylate injection and the posterior follow-up and assessment of new bleeding. Results: all five patients were treated with an endoscopic cyanoacrylate injection and two of the patients experienced a digestive rebleeding. Three of the patients died during the follow-up period, only one due to cause digestive bleeding. Conclusion: in conclusion we can state that endoscopic treatment of duodenal varices with cyanoacrylate is technically possible, and it permits us to control the first bleeding before doing other definitive treatments, if the patient condition allows it (AU)

MATERIAL AND METHODS: retrospective description of five clinical cases of digestive bleeding secondary to duodenal varices that we observed between the years 2011 and 2012, together with their clinical characteristics, endoscopic diagnosis, endoscopic treatment with cyanoacrylate injection and the posterior follow-up and assessment of new bleeding. RESULTS: all five patients were treated with an endoscopic cyanoacrylate injection and two of the patients experienced a digestive rebleeding. Three of the patients died during the follow-up period, only one due to cause digestive bleeding. CONCLUSION: in conclusion we can state that endoscopic treatment of duodenal varices with cyanoacrylate is technically possible, and it permits us to control the first bleeding before doing other definitive treatments, if the patient condition allows it.
