Abstract

We report on a new method of stent exchange using a threaded device that enables removal of the clogged stent while simultaneously maintaining the original pathway without withdrawing the endoscope. With this method stent replacement has become more reliable, safer, simpler and quicker. This technique is also suitable for removal of stents dislodged inside the duct.

Consensus on the management of obstetric cholestasis: National UK survey.

An anonymous questionnaire was sent to the lead consultant obstetricians and the midwives in charge of the antenatal clinics of all maternity units in UK to determine their current views on the diagnosis and management of obstetric cholestasis (OC). The response rate was 60%. Management policies were broadly similar and consistent with those recommended in the current literature. However, the survey highlighted areas for improvement. Based on the findings of this survey, a consensus view of the management of OC in UK is achievable.

[Cholestasis in adults. 2. Clinical signs and symptomatic treatment].

Cholestasis, a frequent occurrence in clinical practice, can be suspected when confronted to clinical signs (pruritus and jaundice) and/or increased blood level of alkaline phosphatases, gammaglutamyl transpeptidase and/or conjugated bilirubin. This short review will deal with the management of clinical manifestations and extrahepatic complications, whatever the cause of cholestasis. The management according to etiology will be dealt with in a separated chapter.
