  • This article by Zepeda-Gómez and Baron discusses the principles of endoscopic therapy for benign biliary strictures, different endoscopic approaches and their respective outcomes, and varied etiologies and their appropriate management. Data on newer therapies, such as the placement of self-expandable metal stents, and the treatment of biliary–enteric anastomotic strictures is also discussed.

  • With the increased emphasis on quality and standardization in gastrointestinal endoscopy, a need exists for minimum standardized information to be provided in endoscopy reports. A group of international colleagues provide a consensus document of standardized endoscopy reporting, including nomenclature and imaging, which is an important framework for all endoscopists, especially trainees.

  • This article considers the case of a 72-year-old male who presented with epigastric pain, anorexia and progressive jaundice. Liver function tests revealed enzyme abnormalities consistent with cholestasis, while radiographic and endoscopic findings were suggestive of autoimmune pancreatitis with biliary involvement. Examinations for the presence of malignant cells were negative. A diagnosis of autoimmune pancreatitis with IgG4-associated cholangitis was made and the patient was treated with corticosteroids.

  • The indications for self-expandable metallic stents (SEMS) now include relief of luminal obstruction of the upper gastrointestinal tract, colon or rectum, in which case they are referred to as enteral SEMS. The authors of this Review discuss data on the efficacy, complications, and cost effectiveness of enteral SEMS, and consider future directions for enteral stenting technology.

  • Moderate sedation is typically used during lower gastrointestinal endoscopy procedures. Deep sedation with propofol is becoming widespread but carries the risk of cardiorespiratory depression. Nitrous oxide is an inhaled sedative administered routinely in dentistry that might prove to be a safe option for sedation during lower gastrointestinal endoscopy.

  • At present, there is no standard treatment for cholangiocarcinoma, a fatal cancer of the biliary tree. New therapies for cholangiocarcinoma are difficult to evaluate because treatment endpoints are ill-defined. This viewpoint explains why the current endpoints are problematic and proposes a new quantitative system for assessing disease progression.

  • Endoscopic clipping is a safe and effective technique for the treatment of various bleeding gastrointestinal lesions. This Review provides an overview of endoscopic clipping, discussing available clipping devices, basic clipping techniques, applications and efficacy, safety and future prospects. The authors stress that endoscopic identification of lesions that are amenable to clipping and proficiency in clip application are key determinants of a successful outcome.
