| Core Tip |
Despite the increase of a subset of patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy, therapeutic endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) has been unfairly restricted in potentially resectable patients. However, to date, no evidence suggests any influence of therapeutic EUS procedures on difficulty or outcomes of eventual subsequent surgery. Conversely, proof-of-concept papers have described uncomplicated surgery following EUS-guided gallbladder drainage, choledochoduodenostomy and gastrojejunostomy. Available evidence and technical notes are collected in this review. Due to the very high efficacy-invasiveness ratio of therapeutic EUS procedures, potentially resulting in less chemotherapy discontinuation, we believe that their use should not be restricted in the bridge-to-surgery scenario while implementing its prospective evaluation. |
