The document discusses robotic-assisted pyeloplasty as a technique for repairing ureteropelvic junction obstruction, noting that while it has similar success rates to laparoscopic pyeloplasty it allows more urologists to perform the minimally invasive procedure due to the robot's suturing abilities, though it is less cost effective than the pure laparoscopic approach.
Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy PCNL by Dr. Majid Kakakhel IKD, Peshawar.Majid Khan Kakakhel
The document describes the procedure and techniques for percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). PCNL is used to remove kidney stones through a small incision in the skin and involves four main steps: 1) opacification of the collecting system, 2) puncture of the system, 3) dilation of the tract, and 4) stone fragmentation and removal. Key techniques for puncture include the bull's eye, triangulation, and gradual descent methods. Potential complications include hemorrhage, injury to surrounding organs, failed access, pneumothorax, and sepsis. The document outlines the indications, positioning, surgical approach, and complications of PCNL.
This document discusses the management of ureteral strictures. It provides details on various endourologic and surgical options for treating ureteral strictures, including balloon dilation, ureteroscopic endoureterotomy, ureteral stenting, ureteroureterostomy, and ureteroneocystostomy. The success rates and approaches for different procedures are described. Postoperative care is also outlined.
This document provides information about ultrasound use in urology. It discusses the history of ultrasound in urology from 1963 onwards. It then covers basic ultrasound principles including modes, probes, imaging planes and documentation. Applications to the kidney, bladder, prostate and testes are described. Common abnormalities like hydronephrosis, cysts, masses and infections are outlined. In summary, the document is an overview of ultrasound techniques and their use in evaluating the urinary tract and common urologic conditions.
This document provides information about open esophageal surgical procedures, including cricopharyngeal myotomy and excision of Zenker's diverticulum. It describes the preoperative evaluation and optimization of patients, including imaging, endoscopy, and nutritional support. The surgical technique is explained in 4 steps: 1) incision and dissection of the pharyngeal pouch, 2) myotomy of the cricopharyngeus muscle and esophagus, 3) freeing or excising the diverticulum using a stapler, and 4) drainage/closure. Postoperative care involves monitoring for complications such as recurrent laryngeal nerve injury, fistula, hematoma, and infection.
This document discusses prone versus supine positioning for percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). It provides a history of prone positioning being the traditional approach, with supine positioning being described later. The advantages of supine positioning include the surgeon working more comfortably, less risk of anesthesia issues, and ability to perform other procedures simultaneously like ureteroscopy. Prone positioning allows for easier upper pole access and kidney positioning. Overall, the evidence suggests no overwhelming differences in outcomes between positions, so surgeon preference can help determine which to use based on patient factors.
This document provides information about intravenous urography (IVU), including:
- IVU involves injecting contrast media intravenously and imaging the kidneys, ureters, and bladder.
- It has indications like evaluating suspected obstruction, assessing integrity after trauma, and investigating hematuria or infection.
- Contraindications include contrast allergy and renal failure. Advantages include clearly outlining the urinary system, while disadvantages include need for contrast and radiation exposure.
- The document describes the IVU technique, expected timing of images, and what should be evaluated on the images.
- It also covers normal anatomy, types of contrast media, and abnormal findings that could be
This document provides guidelines for laparoscopic cholecystectomy. It outlines indications for the procedure including symptomatic gallstones and acute cholecystitis. High-risk patients for bile duct stones are evaluated preoperatively with ERCP. The basic operative technique is described including abdominal access and establishing the critical view of safety. Intraoperative cholangiography is routinely performed to detect common bile duct stones which may be treated endoscopically or with exploration. Conversion to open surgery should be considered for infected or scarred gallbladders or if the anatomy cannot be clearly defined. Major complications are bile duct injury and bleeding.
This document discusses the management of small renal masses (SRMs). It provides an overview of diagnosis and treatment options for SRMs, including:
- SRMs are detected more frequently with improved imaging and account for about 20-25% of renal masses.
- Biopsy and advanced imaging can help differentiate between benign and malignant SRMs and determine tumor aggressiveness.
- Treatment options include radical nephrectomy, partial nephrectomy, thermal ablation, and active surveillance. Partial nephrectomy aims to preserve renal function while providing cancer control comparable to radical nephrectomy.
- Factors such as tumor size, location, and patient comorbidities help determine the optimal surgical approach and extent of surgery
Laparoscopic pyeloplasty can be performed via either a transperitoneal or retroperitoneal approach. The transperitoneal approach involves mobilizing the colon to access the retroperitoneum. Trocar placement is typically in a triangular configuration. The procedure involves dissecting the ureter and renal pelvis, transecting the UPJ, spatulating the ureter, placing a stent, and performing an anastomosis with absorbable sutures to create a tension-free repair. Variations include a transmesenteric approach and retroperitoneal approach via a flank position. Success rates of laparoscopic pyeloplasty match those of open surgery.
A cholecystectomy involves the surgical removal of the gallbladder. The gallbladder stores and concentrates bile produced by the liver to aid in fat digestion. Cholecystectomy is commonly performed to treat gallstones and related complications like gallbladder inflammation. The surgery can be performed through traditional open surgery or through laparoscopic methods involving small incisions. Conditions that may require open rather than laparoscopic cholecystectomy include severe inflammation, abdominal lining inflammation, liver cirrhosis, late-stage pregnancy, or bleeding disorders.

Laparoscopic surgery has undergone rapid development in recent years. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy was first performed in 1985. Since the introduction of laparoscopic cholecystectomy into general practice in 1990, it has rapidly become the dominant procedure for gallbladder surgery.
Percutaneous nephrostomy involves placing a catheter into the renal pelvis through the skin to relieve urinary obstruction. It is commonly performed under imaging guidance through a posterior calyx. The procedure has a high technical success rate but risks include bleeding, infection, and injury to adjacent organs. Post-procedure, the catheter is secured and connected to a drainage bag to decompress the kidney until the obstruction is resolved.
Standard versus tubeless mini percutaneous nephrolithotomyYouttam Laudari
This study compared outcomes of standard mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (SmPCNL) versus tubeless mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (TmPCNL) in patients with renal stones. There were no significant differences in operative time, drop in hemoglobin, postoperative leakage, or stone-free rates between the two groups. However, the TmPCNL group had significantly less postoperative analgesic requirements and shorter hospital stays compared to the SmPCNL group. The results suggest TmPCNL is as effective as SmPCNL at clearing stones but with less pain and shorter recovery time by avoiding nephrostomy tube placement.
Difficult Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy-When and Where is the Need to Convert?Apollo Hospitals
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has now become the treatment of choice for the gall bladder stone. With increasing experience, surgeon has started to take more difficult cases which were considered relative contra indications for laparoscopic removal of gall bladder few years back.
We conducted this study at our hospital and included all laparoscopic cholecystectomy done from May'08 to January'10. Total time taken in surgery, conversion rate and complication rate were analysed. Factors making laparoscopic cholecystectomy difficult were also analysed. We defined difficult laparoscopic cholecystectomy when we found -dense fibrotic adhesions in and around Callot's triangle, gangrenous gall bladder, empyma, large stone impacted at gall bladder neck, contracted gall bladder, Mirrizi's syndrome, h/o biliary pancreatitis, CBD stones, acute cholecystitis of <72 hrs duration.
Out of 206 cases done during above period, 56 cases were considered difficult. Only two cases were converted to open.
With growing experience and technical advancement surgery can be completed in most of the difficult cases. This is important because recently it is shown in literature that laparoscopic cholecystectomy is associated with less morbidity than open method irrespective of duration of the surgery.
This document discusses urinary tract obstruction, specifically ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO). It covers the causes, evaluation, and surgical treatment options for UPJO, with a focus on laparoscopic pyeloplasty. Key points include that UPJO can be congenital or acquired, and indications for intervention include symptoms, impaired renal function, stones or infection. Laparoscopic pyeloplasty is a less invasive alternative to open surgery that provides comparable success rates while reducing morbidity. The procedure involves mobilizing the colon, dissecting the ureter, and performing a dismembered pyeloplasty reconstruction.
A radical prostatectomy is a common operation for treating prostate cancer. It used to be called total prostatectomy. This means using surgery to remove all of the prostate gland through a cut in your abdomen or the area between the testicles and the back passage (perineum).
This document discusses the challenges facing endourologists performing percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). It outlines several challenges including difficult patient populations, complex kidney stones, congenital kidney anomalies, and technical difficulties. It also describes advances in imaging technologies like multimodal imaging and stone morphometry analyses that help surgical planning. Advances in patient positioning like prone, supine, and flank positions and new instruments for lithotripsy, retrieval, and hemostasis are discussed. The document emphasizes the importance of training and experience to successfully perform the complicated PCNL procedure.
A nephrectomy is a surgical procedure to remove one or part of a kidney. The first successful nephrectomy was performed in 1869 in Germany. Laparoscopic nephrectomy, involving smaller incisions, was first performed in 1990. A nephrectomy removes the kidney through small incisions or one larger incision in the abdomen. It is used to treat severe kidney damage or diseases like cancer, infections, or cysts, and to donate a healthy kidney for transplantation. Risks include infection, bleeding, and kidney failure of the remaining kidney. Patients may experience pain and discomfort after surgery and should avoid strenuous activity during recovery.
This document discusses various laparoscopy equipment used in minimally invasive surgeries. It describes key components like laparoscopes, trocars, insufflators, and various surgical instruments. A laparoscopic surgeon needs to be technically proficient in operating the equipment and understanding the principles of the instruments being used, as the procedures are technologically dependent and any emergency requires quick problem-solving skills without overreliance on technical support.

From renal failure to renal transplant updated oct 13michelwan
Michel Wan suffered from renal failure due to being obese, hypertensive, and diabetic. His kidney function declined over 12 years until he reached end-stage renal disease in 2012. He underwent regular dialysis treatments until receiving a kidney transplant from his sister in April 2012. The transplant was successful, allowing Wan to live a normal life with healthy kidney function. He acknowledges his sister for donating the kidney and the medical team for their successful work in performing the transplant.
This document discusses bariatric surgery as a treatment for obesity, diabetes, and hypertension - known as the "dangerous triad". It outlines the obesity epidemic globally and in India. Bariatric surgery is presented as the most effective long-term treatment, as other options like diet, exercise, and medication often only achieve temporary weight loss. The document describes various bariatric surgical procedures and their mechanisms for weight loss and resolving comorbidities. Case studies are presented demonstrating successful weight loss and comorbidity resolution through bariatric surgery. Risks are low but include leaks, strictures, and potential for weight regain. A multidisciplinary team approach is emphasized for best outcomes.
This document discusses renal replacement therapies, including causes of renal failure, types of dialysis, and common complications. It begins by outlining causes of acute and chronic kidney injury. It then describes different types of dialysis including intermittent hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, and continuous renal replacement therapies. Finally, it discusses common problems in dialysis patients such as hypotension, infection, bleeding, altered mental status, chest pain, and peritonitis. The document provides an overview of renal replacement therapies and issues patients may experience.
Renal transplantation involves selecting recipients by diagnosing their primary kidney disease, ruling out active infections or malignancies, and assessing operative risks. Suitable living donors undergo evaluation with CT angiography and surgery to remove a kidney, with efforts to minimize warm ischemia time and preserve vessel length. The donated kidney is preserved through simple cold storage before transplantation via vascular anastomosis and ureter reimplantation during the recipient's operation. Lifelong immunosuppression is required post-operatively to prevent rejection, while infection risk remains.
This document summarizes current treatment guidelines for lupus nephritis. It defines lupus nephritis based on ACR criteria and recommends an early renal biopsy. For initial treatment of proliferative lupus nephritis (classes III/IV), guidelines differ on whether cyclophosphamide or mycophenolate mofetil is preferred. Maintenance therapy with mycophenolate mofetil or azathioprine with low-dose steroids is recommended, with mycophenolate mofetil showing better outcomes. Immunosuppression should be continued for at least one year after complete remission is achieved.
This document provides an overview of organ transplantation, including the types of transplants, transplantable organs, surgical procedures, outcomes, and complications. It discusses renal, liver, pancreatic, bowel, heart, lung, and composite tissue transplants. Renal transplants can come from living or deceased donors. Liver transplants are indicated for cirrhosis, acute liver failure, and malignancy. Pancreatic transplants are typically simultaneous with kidney transplants. Bowel transplants include small bowel and multivisceral transplants for intestinal failure. Heart-lung transplants are for pulmonary vascular disease with heart disease.
Continuous renal replacement therapy in icu Crrt 2samirelansary
This document discusses continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). It begins by defining CRRT and its purpose of substituting impaired renal function over an extended period of 24 hours per day. It then discusses the requirements, indications, principles, and modalities of CRRT. The principles section covers vascular access, semi-permeable membranes, transport mechanisms, and dialysate/replacement fluids. The modalities section explains slow continuous ultrafiltration, continuous venovenous hemofiltration, hemodialysis, and hemodiafiltration. The document also addresses dosing of CRRT, anticoagulation, and complications.
Renal replacement therapy (RRT) refers to life-supporting treatments for renal failure and includes hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, and continuous renal replacement therapy. The choice of RRT depends on factors like the patient's cardiovascular status, availability of resources, and clinical considerations. Common complications include those related to vascular access and electrolyte imbalances. RRT aims to correct fluid overload, metabolic abnormalities, and remove waste through diffusion or convection.
Kidney transplantation is the most effective therapy for end-stage renal disease. The transplanted organ can come from a live or deceased donor. Immunosuppressive medications are used to prevent rejection and include corticosteroids, calcineurin inhibitors, mTOR inhibitors, and antimetabolites. Common post-transplant complications include acute rejection, infections like cytomegalovirus, and chronic allograft dysfunction.
A very simple yet comprehensive presentation to understand the concept of CRRT and its implementation in Intensive Care Unit. Intended for the very beginners in ICU. After going through the presentation you will be able to say "Now I know it!"
This document summarizes a randomized controlled trial that compared the effects of early versus late initiation of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) at different clearance rates in critically ill patients with acute kidney injury (AKI). The trial involved 106 patients randomized to either: 1) Early high-volume CRRT with a clearance of 72-96 L/day, 2) Early low-volume CRRT with a clearance of 24-36 L/day, or 3) Late low-volume CRRT initiated when BUN was >100 mg/dL with a clearance of 24-36 L/day. The primary outcomes were 28-day mortality and renal recovery. There was no significant difference in 28-day mortality between the
The document discusses renal replacement therapies in critical care, including various classification systems for acute kidney injury, the incidence and outcomes of AKI in ICU patients, and evidence around different renal replacement modalities. It notes that while there is no definitive evidence of superiority between therapies, higher therapy doses are associated with better outcomes. The document also explores using renal replacement therapies for blood purification beyond just solute clearance, such as for removing cytokines.
Post operative complications of renal transplantHabrol Afzam
Urinary complications after kidney transplantation include urine leaks, urinary obstruction, and hematomas. Urinary obstruction most commonly occurs within the first 6 months after transplantation at the site where the ureter is implanted into the bladder, due to issues like ischemia, rejection, or technical errors. Infections are also common after transplantation, especially in the first few months and from 1-6 months post-op when opportunistic infections may develop. Other complications include lymphoceles, renal artery stenosis, infarction, renal vein thrombosis, calculi, and neoplasms. Prolonged immunosuppression also increases cancer risks.
This document provides an overview of renal replacement therapy and kidney transplantation. It discusses the history of dialysis and transplantation, including the first documented cases. It then describes different types of dialysis therapy including hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, and continuous renal replacement therapy. The basics of kidney transplantation are outlined, including donor and recipient selection criteria and common post-transplant complications. Immunosuppressive medications and their role in preventing rejection are also summarized.
Principles of organ transplant and Renal transplantDr Navil Sharma
This document provides an overview of organ transplant principles. It defines different types of transplants and discusses transplant immunology, including graft rejection.

1) Advances in the management of pancreatic cancers including improved preoperative assessment using CT, MRI, EUS and PET scans to determine resectability.
2) Surgical approaches to resectable pancreatic cancer including pylorus-preserving versus standard Whipple procedure and debates around extent of lymphadenectomy.
3) Outcomes have modestly improved with resection rates around 20%, operative mortality of 9% and 5 year survival of 12%, though pancreatic cancer prognosis remains poor.
1. Nephron sparing surgery (NSS), also known as partial nephrectomy, aims to remove renal tumors while preserving as much healthy kidney tissue as possible.
2. NSS has similar oncologic outcomes as radical nephrectomy but offers advantages like preserving renal function and reducing risks of chronic kidney disease.
3. While NSS was historically more complex and risky than radical nephrectomy, advances in surgical techniques like laparoscopic and robotic partial nephrectomy have reduced risks and made NSS a viable option for more patients with renal cell carcinoma.

This document describes a study examining the use of laparoscopic cholecystectomy for patients with mild biliary pancreatitis. The study reviewed 220 patients over an 11-year period who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy after symptoms improved. Common bile duct stones were identified in 23.1% of patients. The procedure had acceptable morbidity and mortality rates. It allowed for high rates of common bile duct clearance in a single surgery. Outcomes were better than alternative approaches like preoperative ERCP. The results support laparoscopic cholecystectomy as a viable option for treating mild biliary pancreatitis.
approach to Urothelial carcinoma of upper tract in horse shoe kidneyAnil Gupta
Upper tract urothelial carcinoma arising in a horseshoe kidney presents unique treatment challenges. The patient underwent right heminephrectomy for a T1 low-grade tumor, with subsequent recurrences in the bladder and ureter. Close follow-up is important given the high risk of recurrence in UTUC, particularly in the bladder due to field cancerization effects. While adjuvant therapies have unclear benefits, intravesical BCG may help prevent recurrence in selected cases. Complete surgical resection remains the mainstay of treatment for UTUC in horseshoe kidneys.

This document discusses the management of small renal masses (SRMs). Key points include:
1. SRMs are detected more frequently due to increased use of imaging and are usually less than 4cm.
2. Goals for managing early stage renal cell carcinoma include cancer survival, preserving renal function, and avoiding treatment morbidity.
3. Treatment options for SRMs include radical nephrectomy, partial nephrectomy, thermal ablation, and active surveillance. Partial nephrectomy is the gold standard.
4. Cryoablation and radiofrequency ablation are emerging minimally invasive techniques for treating SRMs but long term data on oncologic outcomes is still lacking.
The document discusses the management of renal cell carcinomas (RCC) associated with genetic syndromes. It notes that for von Hippel-Lindau syndrome, smaller tumors less than 3 cm are observed while larger tumors greater than 3 cm are removed. For hereditary papillary RCC, surgery is emphasized to remove larger lesions and observe smaller ones due to the indolent nature of type 1 papillary RCC. For hereditary leiomyomatosis RCC, delayed intervention is not recommended due to the aggressive nature of the tumors, and wide local excision is recommended even for tumors under 3 cm. The document also discusses staging, treatment options including radical nephrectomy and minimally invasive approaches, management
This document summarizes the role of interventional radiology in liver transplantation. It discusses how transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt placement and percutaneous treatments can help support transplant candidates by managing complications like ascites or liver tumors while patients wait for a donor liver. The document also outlines how radiology assists in preoperative evaluation and treatment of complications after transplantation through procedures like angioplasty and stent placement.
1) Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common type of kidney cancer in adults. It accounts for 2-3% of all adult cancers.
2) Presentation and risk factors include sporadic and familial cases, with peak incidence in the 6th and 7th decades of life. Half of cases are now discovered incidentally.
3) Treatment depends on stage and includes surgery such as partial or radical nephrectomy, thermal ablation, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, and radiation. Localized RCC is typically treated with surgery while advanced RCC utilizes systemic therapies.
Pancreatic cancer is the sixth leading cause of cancer death in the UK and the fourth leading cause in the US. It most commonly affects men over age 70. The majority (85%) are ductal adenocarcinomas that infiltrate locally and metastasize to the liver and peritoneum. Diagnosis involves imaging like CT scans and tumor marker tests. Surgical resection is the only potentially curative treatment but is only possible in 15-20% of cases due to late stage at presentation. Adjuvant chemotherapy may provide a survival benefit. Palliative options are aimed at relieving jaundice, gastric outlet obstruction, and pain. Prognosis remains poor with less than 5% of patients surviving 5

Acs0522 Procedures For Benign And Malignant Biliary Tract Disease 2005medbookonline
This document discusses procedures for benign and malignant biliary tract diseases. It describes common operations to treat biliary tract diseases, emphasizing details of operative planning and technique. Key points include:
- Thorough preoperative imaging is important to define anatomy accurately.
- Biliary obstruction can cause secondary issues like infection, renal dysfunction, impaired immunity, and malnutrition, so these should be addressed preoperatively if possible.
- Exposure of the hepatoduodenal ligament and porta hepatis is critical during open procedures. Adhesions may require specific dissection techniques.
- Biliary anastomoses generally heal well if blood supply is preserved, tension is avoided, and sutures are placed
Thermal Ablation of Renal Tumors under Ultrasound Guidance and Conscious Seda...asclepiuspdfs
Purpose: Computed tomography (CT) guidance and general anesthesia have recently been recommended as the approach of choice for percutaneous ablation of small renal cell carcinoma (RCC), whereas ultrasound (US) guidance and conscious sedation have been tagged as inadequate. Aim of the study was to assess the safety and effectiveness of percutaneous thermal ablation of small RCC under ultrasound (US)-guidance and conscious sedation. Methods: The records of 74 patients with small RCC (≤5 cm), who underwent US-guided thermal ablation under conscious sedation were retrospectively reviewed. Conscious sedation was usually induced by means of intravenous bolus of midazolam 50–100 μg/kg plus continuous infusion of a 25 μg/mL solution of remifentanil at a rate of 0.05 μg/kg/min. Technical success, technical efficacy, local tumor progression (LTP), primary and secondary efficacy rates, complication rate, and 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival rates were analyzed.
recent advances in hepatobiliary and GI surgeryhr77
1. Advances in surgical techniques, devices, and perioperative management have led to reduced operative times, blood loss, morbidity, and mortality associated with hepatic resection.
2. Liver functional reserve assessment and meticulous planning are important for safe hepatic resection. Surgical portal decompression is more effective than TIPS for variceal bleeding in low-risk patients.
3. RFA has limitations for HCC treatment and is not an independent therapy; transplantation or resection are preferred when possible. Bioartificial liver devices show promise for bridging patients to transplantation or regeneration.
ROLE OF DIAGNOSTIC LAPROSCOPY IN ABDOMINAL MALIGNANCIES.pptxparikshithm1
Laparoscopy provides accurate diagnosis and staging of abdominal malignancies through direct visualization of the peritoneal cavity and organs. It can detect occult metastases that may be missed on imaging, avoiding unnecessary laparotomies in nonresectable cases. Laparoscopic ultrasound further enhances staging by allowing visualization of deeply located liver lesions and lymph nodes. For several cancer types including pancreatic and hepatobiliary malignancies, laparoscopy with ultrasound routinely changes management by identifying inoperable cases.
Presentation1.pptx, radiological imaging of obstructive jaundice.Abdellah Nazeer
Ultrasonography is the initial test of choice to evaluate obstructive jaundice as it is non-invasive, inexpensive and highly sensitive. It can detect dilated bile ducts suggesting extrahepatic obstruction. MRCP and ERCP provide more detailed imaging of the biliary tree but ERCP allows for therapeutic interventions. Other options include CT, PTC and EUS which provide additional information but have greater risks or limitations. The cause of obstructive jaundice can be benign such as gallstones or malignancies involving the bile ducts, pancreas or gallbladder.
This document discusses the management of metastatic liver tumors, focusing on colorectal liver metastases. Some key points:
- The liver is the most common site of metastasis from colorectal cancer. Surgical resection offers the only chance of cure or prolonged survival for resectable colorectal liver metastases, with 5-year survival rates of 40% for margin-negative resection.
- Factors associated with poorer prognosis include short disease-free interval, multiple tumors, bilobar involvement, large tumor size, and elevated CEA levels.
- Preoperative imaging with CT, MRI, and ultrasound is used to evaluate resectability and tumor extent. Laparoscopy can help identify unresectable disease.
This document discusses biliary complications after liver transplantation. It begins by providing background on the evolution of liver transplantation and identifies biliary complications as a major issue.
It then discusses the incidence of various biliary complications like leaks, strictures and stones. Risk factors for anastomotic and non-anastomotic strictures are explained. The pathogenesis, presentations, diagnosis and management of both types of strictures is summarized.
Endoscopic therapy is identified as the primary treatment approach for anastomotic strictures while non-anastomotic strictures are more difficult to treat and have lower success rates with endoscopy. Future areas of research like new endoscopic tools and bioabsorbable stents are also mentioned.

Mercurius is named after the roman god mercurius, the god of trade and science. The planet mercurius is named after the same god. Mercurius is sometimes called hydrargyrum, means ‘watery silver’. Its shine and colour are very similar to silver, but mercury is a fluid at room temperatures. The name quick silver is a translation of hydrargyrum, where the word quick describes its tendency to scatter away in all directions.
The droplets have a tendency to conglomerate to one big mass, but on being shaken they fall apart into countless little droplets again. It is used to ignite explosives, like mercury fulminate, the explosive character is one of its general themes.
