Su1329 GASTRO(ENTERO)-ENTEROANASTOMOSIS IN THE THERAPY OF AFFERENT LOOP SYNDROME AND GASTRIC OUTLET OBSTRUCTION. A SINGLE CENTER EXPERIENCE

Abstract

Background: Endoscopic Ultrasound-guided Fine Needle Biopsy (EUS-FNB) emerged as a safe, efficacious alternative to Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) for tissue acquisition. EUS-FNB is reported to have higher diagnostic yield with preservation of specimen tissue architecture. We aimed to evaluate the performance of EUS-FNB with regards to specimen processing as histology rather than cytology. Methods: All EUS-FNA or -FNB from July 2016 to January 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Data on demographics, EUS findings, pathology, and complications were collected in two periods,
