Biliopancreatic Endoscopy in Altered Anatomy

2021

Background and Objectives: Anatomical post-surgical alterations of the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract have always been challenging for performing diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy, especially when biliopancreatic diseases are involved. Esophagectomy, gastrectomy with various reconstructions and pancreaticoduodenectomy are among the most common surgeries causing upper GI tract alterations. Technological improvements and new methods have increased the endoscopic success rate in these patients, and the literature has been rapidly increasing over the past few years. The aim of this systematic review is to identify evidence on the available biliopancreatic endoscopic techniques performed i…

Endoscopic papillary large balloon dilation in patients with large biliary stones and periampullary diverticula: Results of a multicentric series.

2018

Abstract Introduction Stone extraction represents the most frequent indication for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Endoscopic papillary large balloon dilation (EPLBD) is a recent introduced approach consisting of an endoscopic papillary large balloon dilation following limited endoscopic sphyncterotomy (ES), which has been proven to be safe and effective for extraction of large common bile duct (CBD) stones. Peri-ampullary diverticula (PAD) are described in 10–20% of patients undergoing ERCP. Aim of our study is to evaluate efficacy and safety of EPLBD for the extraction of large biliary stones in patients with PAD. Methods The prospectively collected endoscopy databa…

A 9-Year Retained T-Tube Fragment Encased within a Stone as a Rare Cause of Jaundice

2008

Biliary diseases such as cholangitis may cause jaundice and liver damage. Here, we report on an unusual cause of jaundice in an 84-year-old man 9 years after cholecystectomy. Ultrasound analysis revealed unclear extrahepatic cholestasis and subsequent ERCP showed a large biliary stone sourrounding a T-tube fragment that had remained in the common bile duct for more than 9 years after surgery. The tip of the drainage and the stone could be successfully removed using Dormia baskets. This case suggests that plastic material accidentally left in the common bile duct favours the development of large biliary casts when present over long periods of time.
