Managing choledocholithiasis in patients after Roux-en-Y gastrectomy is challenging, and with no excluded stomach, endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided transmural lumen-apposing metal stent placement is significantly more

Choledocholithiasis can be identified through multiple means, including a right upper quadrant ultrasound, endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERCP), magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP), and

Traditionally, malignant biliary obstruction is relieved by placing a transpapillary stent during endoscopic retrograde cholangioscopy (ERCP). Pancreatitis is a possible adverse event of ERCP. Additionally,

Single-use duodenoscopes were developed to eliminate the risk of duodenoscope-associated transmission of infections. However, there are concerns that the performance of single-use duodenoscopes may not

ERCP is a vital endoscopic procedure for the management of pancreatobiliary disease but is associated with serious adverse events, including mortality. Although a central tenet

Palliation of malignant biliary obstruction is required to facilitate oncologic therapy and relief of symptoms. Although this is almost always performed with ERCP, biliary cannulation

Adequate patient sedation is essential for the successful completion of ERCP; however, delivery methods of anesthesia vary between providers, with most endoscopists favoring deep sedation

Successful and safe ERCP requires the endoscopist to cannulate the duct of interest successfully and efficiently. Although operator skill clearly influences procedure success, there is

ERCP and EUS are essential in treating a variety of disease entities. Metrics exist to measure performance quality, but data are necessary to improve quality

Pancreatitis after ERCP is one of the most common and morbid adverse events following any gastrointestinal endoscopy procedure. It is imperative that the consent process

Cholecystitis following biliary drainage with a self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS) in patients with distal malignant biliary obstruction (MBO) and cystic duct orifice involvement is significant.

This article uses data from multiple sources to estimate gastrointestinal, liver, and pancreatic health care expenditures, ambulatory visits, and hospitalizations, as well as endoscopic procedural

A variety of techniques have been described for achieving deep biliary cannulation, a necessary prelude to most endoscopic retrograde cholangiographic (ERCP) procedures. The rate of

Biliary obstruction with associated cholangitis usually is managed with the use of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for stone extraction or stent decompression of the bile

The potential for interpatient transmission of infections by contaminated duodenoscopes is a significant concern in the practice of ERCP. Pending further understanding and development of

A variety of recommendations have been proposed for predicting choledocholithiasis based upon presenting signs, symptoms, initial laboratory studies, and imaging. In this retrospective study, the

Deep access to the bile duct or the pancreatic duct is required in order to complete all subsequent therapeutic ERCP maneuvers. Precut sphincterotomy (PCS) refers

The development of single-use (disposable) endoscopes is one approach to eliminating infection transmission between sequential patients during endoscopy. This single-center study randomized patients undergoing endoscopic

Identification of adverse events following gastrointestinal endoscopy can be challenging due to patient reticence to present for mild to moderate problems and dispersed follow-up among

Internal drainage using large-caliber lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMS) is now a dominant therapy for acute fluid collections and walled-off pancreatic necrosis associated with acute pancreatitis.

Die Anzahl an durchgeführten Adipositas-OPs steigt weltweit. Für jeden Endoskopiker ist es wichtig die Anatomie nach einer Magen-Bypass-OP zu kennen um evtl. Komplikationen nach diesen

This video illustrates the altered anatomy resulting after the type of gastric resection that is carried out for gastric carcinoma, for example. Bowel continuity is

In the German-speaking countries (and also in Scandinavia), the majority of endoscopic procedures (usually diagnostic) that were carried out in the 1960s and 1970s were

The application of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as indometacin or diclofenac to prevent post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP) has been examined in several randomized trials throughout
