In recent years, the usefulness of enteroscopy-assisted ERCP in the patients with surgically altered gastrointestinal anatomy has been reported. Now, we examined in detail the cases of enteroscopy-assisted ERCP performed in our hospital.
In our hospital from January 2018 to December 2020, eight patients with surgically altered gastrointestinal anatomy, twelve times who underwent single-balloon endoscopic ERCP were included. We retrospectively examined the outcomes. The success rate of the deep cannulation of the biliary duct was 91.7%. The treatment completion rate was 100%. Of eight, we underwent tatooing for 6 patients. In 2 cases with tatooing we could shorten time.
It suggested that the usefulness of single-balloon enteroscopy-assisted ERCP for the patients with surgically altered gastrointestinal anatomy. The marking by tatooing can be useful as to saving time.
