    Abstract Background/aims: Scissor-type endoscopic submucosal dissection (ST-ESD) knives can reduce the adverse events associated with ESDs. This study aimed to compare ST-ESD and non-scissor-type (NST)-ESD knives.
    Methods: We identified ten studies that compared the performance characteristics and safety profiles of ST-ESD and NST-ESD knives. Fixed- and random-effects models were used to calculate the pooled proportions. Heterogeneity was assessed using the I2 test.
    Results: On comparing ST-ESD knives to NST-ESD knives, the weighted odds of en bloc resection was 1.61 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.90-2.90; p=0.14), R0 resection was 1.10 (95% CI, 0.71-1.71; p=0.73), delayed bleeding was 0.40 (95% CI, 0.17-0.90; p=0.03), perforation was 0.35 (95% CI, 0.18-0.70; p<0.01) and ESD self-completion by non-experts was 1.89 (95% CI, 1.20-2.95; p<0.01). There was no heterogeneity, with an I2 score of 0% (95% CI, 0%-54.40%).
    Conclusion: The findings of reduced odds of perforation, a trend toward reduced delayed bleeding, and an improvement in the rates of en bloc and R0 resection with ST-ESD knives compared to NST-ESD knives support the use of ST-ESD knives when non-experts perform ESDs or as an adjunct tool for challenging ESD procedures.

    Abstract The prevalence of pancreatic cysts has been rising due to the widespread use of cross-sectional imaging (CT scan and MRI) of the abdomen. While most pancreatic cysts are benign and do not require treatment or surveillance, a significant minority are premalignant and rarely malignant. The risk stratification of these lesions is not straightforward, and individual risk assessment, cyst size, distribution, and alarming morphologic features (when present) can guide the next steps in management. Neoplastic pancreatic cysts are mucinous or non-mucinous. Endoscopic ultrasound with fine-needle aspiration is often required to classify pancreatic cysts into mucinous and non-mucinous cysts and to assess the malignant potential. Advances in endoscopic techniques (confocal laser endomicroscopy, microforceps biopsy) can provide a definitive diagnosis of pancreatic cysts in some cases; however, the use of these techniques involves a higher risk of adverse events.

    Abstract Background: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is an effective resection technique for early cancers and large gastrointestinal luminal lesions. However, ESD is technically challenging, with the potential for severe adverse events. Scissor-type ESD (ST-ESD) knives with an inner cutting edge and an electrically insulated external coating could mitigate some of these risks. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of ST electrosurgical knives when used for ESDs.
    Methods: Electronic databases were queried for studies from January 2005 through December 2022 evaluating the performance of ST-ESD knives. Fixed- and random-effects models were used to calculate pooled proportions. Heterogeneity was assessed using the I
    Results: Final analysis included data from 17 studies comprising 1652 ESD procedures. The pooled en bloc resection rate and R0 resection rate were 97.94% (95% confidence interval [CI] 97.20-98.57) and 94.32% (95%CI 93.11-95.43), respectively. The main adverse events were perforation and delayed post-procedural bleeding, with pooled rates of 1.07% (95%CI 0.63-1.62) and 1.86% (95%CI 1.26-2.56), respectively. There was no heterogeneity, as indicated by an I
    Conclusions: Our analysis shows that ST-ESD knives deliver consistently good performance across various locations in the gastrointestinal lumen and lesion sizes, with a good safety profile. This could be particularly appealing to newer adopters of ESD.

    Abstract Background: Intraoperative and postoperative blood loss is a major risk in head and neck (H&N) surgery. Recently the use of tranexamic acid (TXA) has been investigated by multiple studies for reducing intraoperative and postoperative bleeding, however reported results are variable.
    Objectives: To determine the safety and efficacy of TXA use in H&N surgery.
    Methods: Systematic review of MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, PubMed, ClinicalKey, and Clinicaltrials.gov according to the PRISMA guidelines. Studies were included if they reported on intraoperative bleeding, volume or duration of postoperative drain or return to theatre rate for postoperative haemorrhage in adult populations following use of TXA. Risk of bias assessment with Cochrane Risk of Bias (RoB2) tool for randomised controlled trials and Newcastle-Ottawa Scale tool for non-randomised studies.
    Results: Sixteen studies were identified (114 407 patients). Eight studies evaluated TXA in major H&N surgery and eight studies in tonsillectomy. Primary outcomes were reduction in intraoperative or postoperative bleeding. Secondary outcomes included the duration of postoperative drain placement and return to theatre rate. No adverse events were reported in any patients. TXA is effective in reducing intraoperative blood loss in tonsillectomy. However, the effect on posttonsillectomy haemorrhage was unclear. Insufficient evidence exists of benefit of TXA on intraoperative bleeding in major H&N procedures. Postoperative drainage volumes were significantly reduced in most major H&N studies. The duration of drain placement and risk of blood transfusion was unchanged in most cases.
    Conclusion: TXA use is safe in H&N patients. Whilst sufficient evidence exists to support the use of TXA in tonsillectomy, insufficient evidence exists to recommend use in major H&N surgery.

    Abstract Varices secondary to portal hypertension in the setting of liver cirrhosis typically occur in the gastroesophageal region. Management guidelines for bleeding gastroesophageal varices are well established in the literature. Ectopic varices that occur outside of this typical location are an uncommon complication of portal hypertension. Rarely, these varices can result in life-threatening hemorrhage. Management guidelines of ectopic variceal bleeds are not yet standardized as cases are rare and treatment approach in the literature has historically varied. We present an interesting case of a 37-year-old patient with alcoholic liver disease and cirrhosis who developed spontaneous hemorrhage and shock from bleeding ectopic varices. This report exemplifies how coil embolization via a percutaneous transhepatic approach can be used to manage ectopic variceal bleeds in the setting of hemorrhagic shock.
