Background and Aims
Accurate reporting of polyp characteristics is crucial for effective resource allocation in endoscopic resection referrals. We present our experience with prereferral management of challenging colorectal lesions.
Methods
We reviewed a prospectively collected database of consecutive referrals for endoscopic resection of challenging colorectal lesions. The database included details of prior colonoscopies. We assessed prereferral management using established guidelines.
Results
Among 1826 referred lesions in 1508 patients, size estimates were missing for 421 (24%) lesions; 56 (3.2%) were twice as large as previously estimated, and 65 (3.7%) were half the previous estimate. Morphologic descriptions were absent for 376 (22%) polyps. Tattooing was performed for 822 (47%) lesions, with 195 (24%) placed correctly. Of the 872 (61%) polyps that underwent biopsy, only 11 (1.3%) were classified high risk by the referring endoscopist.
Conclusions
Errors in prereferral management of challenging colorectal lesions are frequent. Improved adherence to national guidelines could enhance practice.

Background and Aims
Patients with concomitant gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) and biliary obstruction often have limited management options, particularly in the setting of severe debility. We detail the use of EUS-guided gastroduodenal placement of a lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS) as a conduit for transduodenal ERCP: EUS-directed transduodenal ERCP.
Methods
Nine patients who developed GOO with indwelling biliary metal stents or with anticipated biliary stent placement were retrospectively included.
Results
A 20 mm × 10 mm LAMS was deployed for creation of gastroduodenostomy in all patients. ERCP was performed via the gastroduodenal LAMS with resolution of jaundice in 100% of patients. GOO score improved to 3 in all patients.
Conclusions
This study demonstrates excellent outcomes (resolution of jaundice and GOO) in all chronically ill, poor surgical candidates. Placement of a LAMS allowed for both treatment of GOO and ERCP access for present and future stent exchange.
