Happy to share our original article publication in @GIE_Journal Gastrointestinal Endoscopy !!!
"The Impact of Confocal Endomicroscopy Combined with Standard Diagnostics in Evaluating Large Pancreatic Cystic Lesions: An International Interobserver Study"
Led by Prof @som_krishna 🙏👍👏
⏭️ 15 EUS-CLE naive endosonographers participated in a 2 phase diagnostic study !!! 🇮🇳🇮🇹🇺🇸
💡Diagnostic accuracy before and after nCLE review was compared using histopathology as the gold standard
✅ 66 cases
✅ Accuracy increased - distinguishing mucinous vs non-mucinous cysts (90 to 96%)
✅ similar results for sub-type specific cysts as well.
✅ nCLE significantly reduced misclassification, lowering mean unnecessary benign resections from 7.2 to 4.1 (p=0.010) and missed neoplastic diagnoses from 4.4 to 0.7 (p=0.001) per observer, enhancing clinical decision-making

Endoscopy technology sometimes allows two procedures to be performed with the same tool. In this case we have been able to make the diagnosis of choledocholithiasis by endoscopic ultrasound along with its extraction with the EG-740-UT endoscope.
