Abstract Background Recurrent bleeding from gastroesophageal varices is the most common life-threatening complication of portal hypertension. According to guidelines, transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) should not be used as a first-line treatment and should be limited to those bleedings which are refractory to pharmacologic and endoscopic treatment (ET). To our knowledge, long-term studies evaluating the role of elective TIPS in comparison to ET in patients with recurrent variceal bleeding episodes are rare. Patients and methods This study was designed as a retrospective single-institution analysis of 70 patients treated with TIPS and 56 with ET. Patients were followed-up from inclusion in the study until death, liver transplantation, the last follow-up observation or until the end of our study. Results Recurrent variceal bleeding was significantly more frequent in ET group compared to patients TIPS group (66.1% vs. 21.4%, p < 0.001; χ2-test). The incidence of death secondary to recurrent bleeding was higher in the ET group (28.6% vs. 10%). Cumulative survival after 1 year, 2 years and 5 years in TIPS group compared to ET group was 85% vs. 83%, 73% vs. 67% and 41% vs. 35%, respectively. The main cause of death in patients with cumulative survival more than 2 years was liver failure. Median observation time was 47 months (range; 2–194 months) in the TIPS group and 40 months (range; 1–168 months) in the ET group. Conclusions In present study TIPS was more effective in the prevention of recurrent variceal bleeding and had lower mortality due to recurrent variceal bleeding compared to ET.

Long Term Follow Up

Background: Pilonidal sinus disease (PSD) is a chronic troublesome pathology of the natal cleft of the sacrococcygeal region, with an estimated incidence of 26 cases in every 100,000 inhabitants. The aim of this review is to give a snapshot of the current literature on the endoscopic approach to PSD.Methods: A search on endoscopic treatment of pilonidal disease was performed according to PRISMA guidelines, adopting the following search terms: (pilonidal OR sacrococcygeal) and (endoscopic OR VAAPS OR EPSiT OR minimally invasive OR video-assisted OR video assisted).Results: Thirty-four articles were included in the final analysis, among which 23 were on adults and 11 were on pediatric population. The endoscopic approach is associated with painless postoperative pain, good aesthetic results, short time off work, and high patient satisfaction.Despite these advantages in short-term outcomes, results on recurrence rate in a long-term follow up are needed to definitively confirm the importance of this technique.Conclusions: The endoscopic approach is associated with significant postoperative advantages over other standard surgical approaches, and it should be included in the surgical portfolio for the treatment of PSD. According to the Italian guidelines, this technique could be considered as the gold standard for limited PSD. However, the favorable short-term-outcomes and lack of reliable data on long-term follow-up must be a stimulus to perform further high-quality studies to give definitive conclusions on this technique.

Abstract BACKGROUND Since the development of neuroendoscopy, pure endoscopic fenestration for intracranial arachnoid cysts (ACs) became more and more popular and is actually preferred by many neurosurgeons. OBJECTIVE To explore their techniques and experiences with endoscopic treatment of intracranial ACs over a 25-yr period. METHODS A total of 95 endoscopic procedures in 87 patients with 88 intracranial ACs performed at the authors’ departments between February 1993 and October 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Particular respect was given to surgical technique, complications, patients’ outcome, and radiological benefit in relation to cyst location. RESULTS Patients’ ages ranged from 23 d to 81 yr (mean: 29.9 yr). Cysts were located temporobasal (n = 31; 35.2%), paraxial supratentorial (n = 14; 15.9%), suprasellar/prepontine (n = 14; 15.9%), quadrigeminal (n = 12; 13.6%), infratentorial (n = 11; 12.5%), and supratentorial intraventricular (n = 6; 6.8%). Four different endoscopic techniques were applied: cystocisternostomies (n = 48; 50.5%), ventriculocystostomies (n = 23; 24.2%), cystoventriculostomies (n = 14; 14.7%), and ventriculocystocisternostomies (n = 10; 10.5%). Pure endoscopic technique was feasible in 89 of the 95 surgeries (93.7%). Clinical improvement was documented after 82 surgeries (86.3%) and radiological benefit after 62 surgeries (65.3%). Recurrences developed in 8 cases (8.4%). Overall complication rate was 21.1% (n = 20), postoperative new shunt dependency was observed in 4.2% of the cases (n = 4). CONCLUSION Pure endoscopic AC fenestration is a safe, effective, and less invasive technique providing high success and low permanent complication rates. The most frequent temporobasal cysts are the most difficult to treat endoscopically. A long-term follow-up is recommended because recurrences may occur many years after first treatment.
