[Recommendations based on the management of patients with Crohn disease in the Peruvian context. Position paper of the Association for the Study of the Intestine (ASPEIN)]. / Recomendaciones basadas en el manejo de pacientes con diagnóstico de enfermedad de Crohn en el contexto peruano. Documento de posición de la Asociación Peruana para el Estudio del Intestino (ASPEIN).

Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal tract whose etiology is unknown, which can transmurally affect any segment of the intestine and/or the perineal region. Worldwide, the incidence of inflammatory bowel disease has increased in recent decades, and the same upward trend can be seen in South America. At national level, there are no official data, however, the increase in the number of publications in the last 20 years confirms this upward trend. Crohn's disease is a forgotten disease and does not have implemented clinical guidelines based on evidence that contribute to clinicians in decision making. In this sense, the Peruvian Association for the Study of the Intestine considers the preparation of this document relevant and timely. clinical contextualized for Peru.

[Clinical practice guidelines for diagnosis and management of Helicobacter pylori infection in gastroduodenal diseases of the Peruvian Health Social Security (EsSalud)]. / Guía de práctica clínica para el diagnóstico y manejo de la infección por Helicobacter pylori en enfermedades gastroduodenales en el Seguro Social de Salud del Perú (EsSalud).

INTRODUCTION: This article summarizes the evidence-based recommendations of the clinical practice guide (CPG) for the diagnosis and management of Helicobacter pylori infection in gastroduodenal diseases. METHODS: For the provision of these recommendations, a guideline development group (local GDG) was established, including medical specialists andmethodologists that formulated seven clinical questions. Systematic searches of systematic reviews and -when it was considered pertinent- primary studies were conducted in PubMed and CENTRAL during December 2017 and July 2019. The evidence to answer each of the posed clinical questions was selected. The quality of the evidence was evaluated using the Grading ofRecommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) methodology. In periodic work meetings, the local GDG used the GRADE methodology to review the evidence and formulate the recommendations, points of good clinical practice, and flowcharts. Finally, the CPG was approved with Resolution N° 104-IETSI-ESSALUD-2020. RESULTS: This CPG addressed seven clinical questions, divided into four topics. Based on these questions, 12 recommendations (3 strong and 9 weak), 17 points of good clinical practice, and two flowcharts (one for diagnosis and another for management) were formulated. CONCLUSION: This article summarizes the methodology and evidence-based conclusions from the CPG for for the diagnosis and management of Helicobacter pylori infection in gastroduodenal diseases.

[Endoscopic submucosal dissection of a transpyloric early gastric cáncer. A case report and literature review]. / Disección submucosa endoscópica de cáncer gástrico tempranotranspilórico. Reporte de caso y revisión de la literatura.

The endoscopic sumucosal disection (ESD) is an advanced endoscopic technique that achieves the curative resection of superficial neoplasms of the gastrointestinal tract, getting block exeresis with margins free of neoplasia avoiding surgery. However, tumors located in the esophagogastric junction, or pylorus, are technically more complex to resect by ESD. When a neoplasm settles in the pylorus, the anatomical characteristics of this region can affect the adequate assessment of the margins and the performance of the procedure. We present the case of a 70-year-old male patient who, in a high digestive endoscopy, showed a flat multilobulated lesion of 18 mm x 10 mm, located mostly in the lower 2 quadrants of the pyloric canal and minimal compromise of the upper-posterior quadrant, it mainly covers the gastric side of the pyloric channel and extends into the duodenum. Therefore, it was decided to perform en bloc resection of the lesion with the endoscopic submucosal dissection technique. The ERBEJET system was used with a knife type Hybrid knife, saline injection with methylene blue diluted 0.04% on the distal margin, submucosal injection being complemented with 0.4% hyaluronic acid. A "capsule" or straight transparent distal plastic device was used to be able to pull the lesion and allow anterograde visualization of the margins of resection, including the intraduodenal portion, allowing adequate submucosal dissection. Histopathology showed a moderately differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma with surgical edges free of injury. Thanks to the DSE strategy used, our patient could benefit from the curative resection of his gastric cancer with preservation of the organ and with perfect functionality. This case, the first described in the country, shows the progress of national therapeutic endoscopy.

Position paper of the Association for the Study of the Intestine (ASPEIN)

RESUMEN La enfermedad de Crohn es una enfermedad inflamatoria crónica del tracto gastrointestinal cuya etiología es desconocida, que puede afectar de manera transmural cualquier segmento del intestino y/o la región perineal. A nivel mundial, la incidencia de la enfermedad inflamatoria intestinal se ha incrementado en las últimas décadas, y la misma tendencia ascendente se aprecia en Sudamérica. A nivel nacional, no existen datos oficiales, sin embargo, el incremento en el número de publicaciones en los últimos 20 años, confirma esta tendencia ascendente. La enfermedad de Crohn es una enfermedad olvidada y no cuenta con directrices clínicas implementadas basadas en evidencia que contribuyan con los clínicos en la toma de decisiones, en este sentido, la Asociación Peruana para el Estudio del Intestino considera relevante y oportuno la elaboración de este documento clínico contextualizado para el Perú.

Disección submucosa endoscópica de cáncer gástrico temprano transpilórico: Reporte de caso y revisión de la literatura / Endoscopic submucosal dissection of a transpyloric early gastric cáncer: A case report and literature review

La disección submucosa endoscópica (DSE) es una técnica endoscópica avanzada que logra la resección curativa de neoplasias superficiales del tracto gastrointestinal, consiguiendo exéresis en bloque con márgenes libres de neoplasia evitando una cirugía. Sin embargo, los tumores localizados en la unión esófago gástrica, o pilórica son técnicamente más complejos para resecar por DSE. Cuando una neoplasia asienta en el píloro las características anatómicas de esta región pueden afectar la adecuada valoración de los márgenes y la realización del procedimiento. Presentamos el caso de un paciente varón de 70 años a quien en una endoscopia digestiva alta se le evidencia una lesión plana elevada multilobulada de 18 mm x 10 mm, situada mayoritariamente en los 2 cuadrantes inferiores del canal pilórico y compromiso mínimo del cuadrante supero-posterior, abarca principalmente la vertiente gástrica del canal pilórico y se extiende hacia el duodeno. Por todo ello se decide realizar resección en bloque de la lesión con la técnica de disección submucosa endoscópica. Se empleó el sistema ERBEJET con una cuchilla de tipo Hybrid knife, inyección salina con azul de metileno diluido al 0,04% sobre el margen distal, complementándose la inyección submucosa con ácido hialurónico al 0,4%. Se utilizó un "capuchón" o dispositivo plástico distal transparente recto para poder traccionar la lesión y permitir visualizar anterógradamente los márgenes de resección, incluso de la porción intraduodenal, permitiendo una adecuada disección submucosa. Luego de comprobar hemostasia se constató la resección en bloque. La histopatología mostró un adenocarcinoma tubular medianamente diferenciado con bordes quirúrgicos libres de lesión. Gracias a la estrategia de DSE utilizada, nuestro paciente pudo beneficiarse de la resección curativa de su cáncer gástrico con preservación del órgano y con perfecta funcionalidad. Este caso, el primero descrito en el país, muestra el avance de la endoscopía terapéutica nacional.
