Newest firstBackground Although a 5 mm diameter metal clip is commonly employed for cystic duct (CD) closure, it may sometimes be inadequate due to CD dilation. Various widely used preoperative scoring systems can predict the difficulty of intraoperative manipulations, but these systems do not mention CD closure methods. In this study, we identified several preoperative factors related to these instances. Methodology We selec…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background Intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct (IPNB) rarely recurs in a multicentric manner. We encountered a patient with multiple recurrences of the gastric subtype of IPNB one year after spontaneous detachment of the primary tumor during peroral cholangioscopy (POCS). Case summary A 68-year-old woman on maintenance hemodialysis because of lupus nephritis had several cardiovascular diseases and a pa…
Background Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for extraction of common bile duct (CBD) stones in patients with Roux-en-Y gastrectomy (RYG) remains technically challenging. Methods Seventy-nine RYG patients (median 79 years old) underwent short-type double-balloon enteroscopy-assisted ERCP (sDBE-ERCP) for CBD stones at three referral hospitals from 2011-2020. We retrospectively investigated the t…
Background Transpancreatic biliary sphincterotomy (TPBS) is an advanced cannulation method for accessing common bile duct (CBD) in endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). If CBD cannulation is difficult, an endoscopist can open the septum between the pancreatic and biliary duct with a sphincterotome to gain access. Long-term results of this procedure are unclear. We wanted to evaluate the short- and…
Background In patients with large stones in the common bile duct (CBD), advanced treatment modalities are generally needed. Here, we present an interesting case of a huge CBD stone treated with electrohydraulic lithotripsy (EHL) by the percutaneous approach and rendezvous endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERC) using a nasal endoscope. Case summary A 91-year-old woman underwent ERC for a symptomatic large CBD…
Objectives Performance of endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERC) depends mainly on the skills of the examiner, but also on anatomical variants. The aim of the study was to investigate patient- and papilla-related factors for the successful selective cannulation of the common bile duct (CBD). Patients and methods 50 patients with a papilla with no prior sphincterotomy needing an ERC were enrolled. From a stand…
