    Abstract Background: The aim of this study was to compare pure coagulation and blended current in the resection of large colorectal sessile polyps (SPs).
    Patients and methods: Between January 2009 and June 2012, 84 patients (45 men, 39 women; median age 66 y; range, 42 to 88 y) with large colorectal SPs (diameter ≥2 cm) were randomized in 1:1 ratio to undergo treatment by the "lift and cut" piecemeal resection technique. A total of 43 blended current subjects (group A) were well matched to 41 pure coagulation current subjects (group B), with a median lesion size of 3.9 cm (group A, 3.7 vs. group B, 4.2 cm; P=0.316), respectively. The rate of complications, the factors that predict complications, and the recurrence of adenoma were analyzed.
    Results: Complete macroscopic resection was achieved in 39 patients (90.7%) of group A and in 36 patients (87.6%) of group B (P=0.735). Argon plasma coagulation at resection's margins was performed in 10 patients (23.2%) of group A and in 14 patients (34.1%) of group B (P=0.269). Eight patients (9.5%) [group A, n=3 patients (7.1%) vs. group B, n=5 patients (12%); P=0.756] developed immediate (4) or delayed (4) bleeding. Four patients with bleeding were under treatment with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. All bleedings were successfully treated conservatively or with endoclipping and heater probe application. Perforation occurred in 1 patient of each group and was managed by clips closure and antibiotics and right hemicolectomy, respectively. Postpolypectomy syndrome was observed in 2 patients (4.6%) of group A and 3 patients (7.3%) of group B (P=0.834). In 3 patients, the histopathologic analysis of resected SPs revealed invasive carcinoma, and surgical resection was performed in 1 patient. Two patients refused operation. Among the patients who underwent follow-up surveillance colonoscopy, a total recurrence rate of 25.67% of adenomas with no difference was observed between the 2 groups [group A, n=8 patients (21.6%) vs. group B, n=11 patients (31.4%); P=0.345]. Recurrence of adenoma was observed in 12 patients (16.22%) without and in 7 patients (9.46%) with argon plasma coagulation treatment.
    Conclusions: No difference was found in the rate of complications between the 2 types of current used in the resection of large colorectal SPs. However, an influence of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors on postpolypectomy bleeding was observed, which deserves further investigation.

    Abstract Background: Bile leak is a common and serious complication of cholecystectomy with endotherapy being an established method of treatment. This retrospective study presents the 11-year experience of a referral center in endoscopic management of post-cholecystectomy bile leaks.
    Methods: During the period between January 2000 and December 2010, records of patients who had undergone endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for suspected post-cholecystectomy bile leaks were reviewed for evidence of clinical presentation of bile leaks, cholangiographic findings, type of endoscopic intervention, procedural complications and post-procedure follow-up.
    Results: Seventy-one patients with suspected post-cholecystectomy bile leak were referred for ERCP. Common bile duct (CBD) cannulation was successful in 70 patients (98.59%). Complete transection of CBD was diagnosed in 4 patients; they were treated with surgery. A leak from the cystic duct stump was demonstrated in 49 patients (74.24%), from the ducts of Luschka in 4 (6.06%), from the gallbladder bed in 2 (3.03%), from the CBD in 7 (10.61%) and from the common hepatic duct (CHD) in 4 patients (6.06%). Endoscopic sphincterotomy (ES) plus endoprosthesis was performed in 64 patients (96.97%). A 12-year-old girl with a leak from cystic duct stump was successfully treated with stenting without ES and one patient with leak from gallbladder bed underwent only ES. Endoscopic intervention failed to treat a leak from CHD in one patient. During the follow-up, three patients developed bile duct stricture. Two were treated endoscopically and one with hepaticojejunostomy.
    Conclusions: ES plus large-bore straight plastic biliary stent placement is a safe and effective intervention in post-cholecystectomy bile leaks.

    Abstract Background: Pancreatitis remains the most common and feared complication of therapeutic endoscopic cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) associated with substantial morbidity. The patient-related and procedure-related independent risk factors for post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP) in a large case volume by a single experienced endoscopist have been investigated only by few studies. The aim of the study was to investigate patient-related and procedure-related risk factors for PEP collected by a defined protocol on patients who underwent therapeutic ERCP in a single endoscopic unit during the last 8 years.
    Patients and methods: Our retrospective cohort study included a total of 2688 therapeutic ERCPs enrolled in the final analysis. The impact of the risk factors on PEP development was investigated by univariate and multivariate analysis. PEP was diagnosed and its severity was graded according to the consensus criteria.
    Results: With the exception of history of pancreatitis, there was no other statistically significant difference of patients' characteristics between patients with and without PEP. Female sex, age, difficult cannulation, suspected sphincter of Oddi dysfunction, metal stent placement, opacification of main pancreatic duct, and suprapapillary fistulotomy were not found to be risk factors for PEP by univariate and multivariate analysis. Both univariate and multivariate analysis showed history of acute pancreatitis, needle-knife papillotomy, transpancreatic sphincterotomy, opacification of first-class and second-class pancreatic ductules, and acinarization as independent risk factors for PEP.
    Conclusions: History of acute pancreatitis, needle-knife papillotomy, transpancreatic sphincterotomy, opacification of first-class and second-class pancreatic ductules, and acinarization were all identified as independent risk factors for PEP.
