Double gallbladder originating from left hepatic duct: a case report and review of literature. (1/1054)

BACKGROUND: Double gallbladder is a rare anomaly of the biliary tract. Double gallbladder arising from the left hepatic duct was previously reported only once in the literature. CASE REPORT: A case of symptomatic cholelithiasis in a double gallbladder, diagnosed on preoperative ultrasound, computed tomography (CT) and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatogram (ERCP) is reported. At laparoscopic cholangiography via the accessory gallbladder no accessory cystic duct was visualized. After conversion to open cholecystectomy, the duplicated gallbladder was found to arise directly from the left hepatic duct; it was resected and the duct repaired. CONCLUSIONS: We emphasize that a careful intraoperative cholangiographic evaluation of the accessory gallbladder is mandatory in order to prevent inadvertent injury to bile ducts, since a large variety of ductal abnormality may exist.  (+info)

Carcinoids of the common bile duct: a case report and literature review. (2/1054)

Carcinoids of the extrahepatic bile ducts and particularly the common bile duct are extremely rare. A 65-year-old woman presented with obstructive jaundice. Laboratory and imaging studies gave results that were consistent with an obstructing lesion in the common bile duct. In this case, a stent was inserted initially to decompress the bile ducts. Subsequently a laparotomy and pancreaticoduodenectomy were performed and a tissue diagnosis of carcinoid of the common bile duct was made. The patient was well with no evidence of recurrence 17 months postoperatively. The authors believe this is the 19th reported case of an extrahepatic bile duct carcinoid.  (+info)

Review article: antibiotic prophylaxis for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). (3/1054)

This review examines the evidence for antibiotic prophylaxis in endoscopic retrograde cholangiopan-creatography (ERCP), and provides detailed advice about suitable antibiotic regimens in appropriate high-risk patients. Ascending cholangitis and infective endocarditis are potential complications of endoscopic ERCP. The pathophysiology of these two complications is quite separate and different sub-groups of patients require prophylaxis with appropriate antibiotic regimens. Ascending cholangitis results from bacterial infection of an obstructed biliary system, usually from enteric Gram-negative microorganisms, resulting in bacteraemia. There is incomplete drainage of the biliary system after ERCP in up to 10% of patients who require stenting. Antibiotics started in these patients will probably reduce the frequency of cholangitis by 80%. If antibiotics are restricted to this group, approximately 90% of all patients having an ERCP will avoid antibiotics, but 80% of cholangitic episodes will be prevented. Infective endocarditis may result from the bacteraemia caused at the time of the ERCP in patients with an abnormal heart valve. Antibiotic prophylaxis, in particular covering alpha-haemolytic streptococci, should be started before the procedure in this defined high-risk group.  (+info)

Investigation of bile ducts before laparoscopic cholecystectomy. (4/1054)

BACKGROUND: Since the advent of laparoscopic cholecystectomy, there has been controversy about the investigation of the bile ducts and the management of common bile duct stones. Routine peroperative cholangiography (POC) in all cases has been recommended. We have adopted a policy of not performing routine POC, and the results of 700 cases are reported. METHODS: Since 1990, all patients have undergone preoperative ultrasound scan. We have performed selective preoperative endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) because of a clinical history of jaundice and/or pancreatitis, abnormal liver function tests and ultrasound evidence of dilated bile ducts (N=78, 11.1%). The remaining 622 patients did not have a routine POC, but selective peroperative cholangiogram (POC) was performed only in 42 patients (6%) because of unsuccessful ERCP or mild alteration in the criteria for the presence of bile duct stones. The remaining 580 patients did not undergo POC. Careful dissection of Calot's triangle was performed in all cases to reduce the risk of bile duct injuries. RESULTS: The overall operative complications, postoperative morbidity and mortality was 1.71%, 2.14% and 0.43%, respectively. Bile duct injuries occurred in two patients (0.26%) and both were recognized during the operation and repaired. There was a single incidence of retained stone in this series of 700 cases (0.14%), which required postoperative ERCP. CONCLUSIONS: This policy of selective preoperative ERCP, and not routine peroperative cholangiogram, is cost effective and not associated with significant incidence of retained stones or bile duct injuries after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.  (+info)

Gastrointestinal surgical workload in the DGH and the upper gastrointestinal surgeon. (5/1054)

Workload implications of upper gastrointestinal (UGI) subspecialisation within the district general hospital (DGH) have been assessed by prospective data collection over a 12-month period in a DGH with six general surgeons serving a population of 320,000. The single UGI surgeon (UGIS) performed all ten oesophageal resections, ten of 11 gastric resections for malignancy and all eight pancreatic operations. He also performed 91 of the 182 cholecystectomies, 164 of the 250 endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatograms (ERCP) and all endoscopic procedures for the palliation of unresected oesophageal tumours. The UGIS was responsible for the management of all patients with severe pancreatitis, yet he also performed 51 colorectal resections over the 12-month period. Successful management of severely ill patients with upper GI disease requires consultant supervision on a day-to-day basis. If such UGI disease is to be managed in the DGH, two surgeons with UGI experience will be required if high quality care and reasonable working conditions are to be achieved. Such UGIS will continue to perform some colorectal surgery.  (+info)

Early ERCP is an essential part of the management of all cases of acute pancreatitis. (6/1054)

The role of early endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and sphincterotomy in acute pancreatitis is controversial. Recent randomised controlled trials mostly support the value of this procedure, but concerns remain as to its safety, efficacy and practicability. This debate critically assesses the evidence for and against the use of early ERCP in acute pancreatitis.  (+info)

Syntactic analysis and languages of shape feature description in computer-aided diagnosis and recognition of cancerous and inflammatory lesions of organs in selected x-ray images. (7/1054)

We present new algorithms for the recognition of morphologic changes and shape feature analysis, which have been proposed to be used in a diagnosis of pathologic symptoms characteristic of cancerous and inflammatory lesions. These methods have been used so far for early detection and diagnosis of neoplastic changes in pancreas and chronic pancreatitis based on x-ray images acquired by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Preliminary processing of x-ray images involves binarization, and, subsequently, pancreatic ducts shown in the pictures are subjected to the straightening transformation, which enables obtaining two-dimensional width graphs that show contours of objects with their morphologic changes. Recognition of such changes was performed using attributed context-free grammars. Correct description and diagnosis of some symptoms (e.g., large cavitary projections) required two-dimensional analysis of width graphs. In such cases, languages of shape feature description with special multidirectional sinquad distribution were additionally applied.  (+info)

Ultrasonographic evaluation of the common bile duct in biliary acute pancreatitis patients: comparison with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. (8/1054)

We compared the morphologic findings of the common bile duct by ultrasonography and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography in patients with biliary acute pancreatitis. Forty-five patients were studied. The diagnosis of acute pancreatitis was based on the presence of characteristic abdominal pain associated with an elevation of serum amylase and lipase concentrations. All patients underwent ultrasonography and subsequently urgent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and eventually endoscopic sphincterotomy. Ultrasonography showed gallstones in 33 patients and sludge of the gallbladder in seven patients. In the common bile duct, lithiasis was found in two patients and sludge in 25. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography showed choledocolithiasis in eight patients and sludge of the common bile duct in 32. In 27 cases (60%) concordance occurred between ultrasonographic and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatographic detection of lithiasis or sludge of the common bile duct. The average diameter of the common bile duct determined by sonography was significantly smaller (P < 0.001) than that obtained by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. The evaluation of this parameter indicated that a good correlation existed between the values obtained with the two techniques (r(s) = 0.765, P < 0.001). Both ultrasonography and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography can provide reliable measurements of the common bile duct diameter. Ultrasonography is the technique of choice in the initial investigation of patients with biliary acute pancreatitis.  (+info)

BACKGROUND There are few published data concerning the economic impact of antibiotic prophylaxis prior to endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography in the setting of biliary obstruction. AIM To perform decision analysis to determine the costs of prophylaxis in patients undergoing endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography for obstructive jaundice. METHODS A decision analysis model was constructed. The probability of biliary sepsis, death and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography complications was obtained from the medical literature and from a retrospective analysis of our own experience. Costs were obtained from Medicare reimbursement at our institution. The strategies evaluated were endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography with and without single-dose antibiotic prophylaxis. We compared the total costs, number of episodes of cholangitis and deaths associated with each strategy. RESULTS Based on published data and the results of our retrospective analysis, the strategy of

Project:. This study will compare glyceryl nitrate (GN) treatment to non-active treatment for the prevention of post-ERCP acute pancreatitis, which is an inflammation of the pancreas that can occur after a procedure known as ERCP.. Background:. ERCP (endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreaticography) is an examination of the pancreas by which it is possible to perform therapeutic measures such as stone removal from the common bile duct and visualisation of the pancreas. Inflammation of the pancreas after the ERCP procedure (called: post-ERCP pancreatitis) is the most feared and common complication of the ERCP. It occurs in 1-40% of patients, with rates of 5% or more being more typical. Currently, the background of post-ERCP pancreatitis is poorly known.. Attempts at preventing post-ERCP pancreatitis have been carried out through a change to low-risk techniques, by avoiding high-risk patients, and by use of pharmacological prophylaxis.. Glyceryl Nitrate:. Glyceryl nitrate is a well-known medicine ...

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography - Wikipedia  Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography - Wikipedia
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a technique that combines the use of endoscopy and fluoroscopy to diagnose and treat certain problems of the biliary or pancreatic ductal systems. Through the endoscope, the physician can see the inside of the stomach and duodenum, and inject a contrast medium into the ducts in the biliary tree and pancreas so they can be seen on radiographs. ERCP is used primarily to diagnose and treat conditions of the bile ducts and main pancreatic duct, including gallstones, inflammatory strictures (scars), leaks (from trauma and surgery), and cancer. ERCP can be performed for diagnostic and therapeutic reasons, although the development of safer and relatively non-invasive investigations such as magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) and endoscopic ultrasound has meant that ERCP is now rarely performed without therapeutic intent. The following represent indications for ERCP, particularly if or when less invasive options are not adequate or ...

Portal biliopathy treated by liver transplantation. | IRIS Università degli Studi di Firenze  Portal biliopathy treated by liver transplantation. | IRIS Università degli Studi di Firenze
Portal biliopathy is an uncommon cause of obstructive jaundice. The proposed therapies include endoscopic dilatation and stenting of the common bile duct or a portocaval shunt with splenectomy and sometimes hepatico-jejunostomy. We recently treated a white man with obstructive jaundice who had growth-hindering diarrhea in childhood. He experienced abdominal pain at the age of 33 years, and ultrasonography and computed tomography examinations revealed mesentericoportal thrombosis and splenomegaly. One year later, endoscopy showed esophageal varices; a liver biopsy showed normal histology. Obstructive jaundice first occurred when he was 40 years old; the patient was admitted to another hospital, and endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography showed concentric stenosis of the common bile duct, with no evidence of stones. The jaundice recovered spontaneously, but biochemical signs of cholestasis persisted. At 46 years of age, the patients blood bilirubin levels increased to 29 mg/dL. Nuclear ...

Novel visualization by SpyGlass System may reduce repeat ERCP procedures  Novel visualization by SpyGlass System may reduce repeat ERCP procedures
ERCP is a specialized endoscopic procedure that is performed with fluoroscopy and contrast injection to examine and treat conditions of the bile ducts and pancreas, such as removing gallstones, opening obstructed bile ducts, and obtaining biopsies in suspected tumors. Conventional ERCP is hindered by the flat, two-dimensional, black and white image rendered by fluoroscopy, which can make it difficult to determine where to obtain tissue samples and potentially lead to an inaccurate or inconclusive clinical diagnosis. As a result, gastrointestinal endoscopists may need to conduct additional testing or even repeat the entire ERCP procedure. Data shows that up to 30 percent of diagnostic ERCPs are inconclusive, potentially creating the need for additional testing ...

ERCP is used primarily to diagnose and treat conditions of the bile ducts, including gallstones, inflammatory strictures (scars), leaks (from trauma and surgery), and cancer. ERCP combines the use of x rays and an endoscope, which is a long, flexible, lighted tube. Through the endoscope, the physician can see the inside of the stomach and duodenum, and inject dyes into the ducts in the biliary tree and pancreas so they can be seen on x rays.. For the procedure, you will lie on your left side on an examining table in an x-ray room. You will be given medication to help numb the back of your throat and a sedative to help you relax during the exam. You will swallow the endoscope, and the physician will then guide the scope through your esophagus, stomach, and duodenum until it reaches the spot where the ducts of the biliary tree and pancreas open into the duodenum. At this time, you will be turned to lie flat on your stomach, and the physician will pass a small plastic tube through the scope. ...

ERCP involves cannulation (entering) of the papilla duct and is used primarily to diagnose and treat conditions of the bile ducts and main pancreatic duct, including gallstones, inflammatory strictures (scars), leaks (from trauma and surgery), and cancer.. The Karolinska Institutet accounts for over 40 percent of the medical academic research conducted in ...

Results 1843 ERCP were performed on 1362 pts (817 female (F), 545 male (M), age range (AR) 16-103). NKP was performed in 69 cases (3.7% 37F 32 M, AR 21-98). In the papillotomy cohort indications for ERCP were stone disease (40); stricturing disease (22); others including unexplained pancreatitis (4), bile leak (2), sphincter of Oddi dysfunction (1). Successful bile duct cannulation was achieved during the index procedure in 50 cases (25M 25 F). Of the remaining 19 cases, 11 (5M 6 F) had bile duct cannulation achieved during a repeat procedure via the papillotomy: global success rate 88%. The remaining 6 cases (4F 2 M) were managed with alternative interventions (5 PTC, 1 surgical). NKP was more successful for stone disease: an initial procedure success rate of 73% vs. 64% for non-stone disease, increasing to 95% with repeat procedure. 5/6 (83%) cases requiring alternative interventions had non-stone disease.. Complications: 4/69 (5.8%) cases were complicated by pancreatitis; all were managed ...

Biliary papillomatosis | HKMJ  Biliary papillomatosis | HKMJ
A 65-year-old man presented with cholangitis which was treated effectively with antibiotics in October 2012. Abdominal computed tomography revealed gallstones inside the gallbladder; the intrahepatic duct (IHD) and common bile duct (CBD) were dilated but no stones were detected therein. However, a mural lesion was suspected inside the upper CBD. Subsequently, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) was performed and revealed dilated IHD and CBD, and multiple filling defects throughout the entire dilated CBD (Fig a). The right and left hepatic ducts were dilated but no filling defects were seen. After biliary sphincterotomy, and sweeping of the CBD with a balloon catheter, abundant gelatinous material mixed with tissue and three small pigmented stones were extracted through the papilla. Repeated sweeping of the CBD and imaging showed an extensive frondy mass attached to the CBD wall floating inside the lumen (Fig b). Some tissues were extracted for histological examination which ...

A 28-year-old woman presented to us in November 2010 because of deranged liver function test results; predominantly she had raised ductal enzyme levels (gamma-glutamyl transferase, 1088; reference range, 12-57 IU/mL); alkaline phosphatase (ALP) 579 (reference range, 46-127) IU/mL, alanine transaminase (ALT) 183 (reference range, 10-57) IU/mL with normal bilirubin levels. Upon further questioning, she had been a ketamine abuser for 5 years and was followed up by psychiatrists. She was completely asymptomatic and physical examination yielded nil abnormal. Her ALP level was excessive (154 IU/mL) and her ALT level was 48 IU/mL. Ultrasound of hepatobiliary system (HBS) showed a dilated common bile duct (CBD) of 1.1 cm in diameter with tapering over lower end. A gallstone was present in the gallbladder. Therefore, the endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) was performed in November 2011, and showed a 5-cm stricture at the lower end of the CBD together with small bilateral segmental ...

The positioning of the pancreatic stent (PS) across the ampulla and pancreatic sphincter into the pancreatic duct is presumed to maintain the flow of pancreatic secretions across any flow disruptions caused by injury or edema of these structures. Over the past few decades, substantial evidence has supported that 5-7 cm, 5-Fr diameter, plastic, straight PS seems to be safe, efficacious, and resistant to PEP, especially in high-risk patients [13].. Despite the efficacy there are several complications following stent placement including, stent migration or stent occlusion. Several case reports have detailed rare instances of severe complications. There has been a case report in which the PS migrated into the retroperitoneum posterior to the third part of the duodenum, causing duodenal edema and narrowing [14]. One case reported that a PS migrated into the bile duct causing cholangitis [15]. Another case reported that a PS migrated into the portal vein causing portal vein thrombosis [16]. Finally a ...

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). A procedure that allows the doctor to diagnose and treat problems in the liver, gallbladder, bile ducts, and pancreas. The procedure combines X-ray and the use of an endoscope, which is a long, flexible, lighted tube. The scope is guided through the patients mouth and throat, then through the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. The doctor can examine the inside of these organs and detect any abnormalities. A tube is then passed through the scope, and a dye is injected which will allow the internal organs to appear on an X-ray. ...

췌석의 치료 적응증은 복통이 있는 경우이다. 본 증례는 췌두부의 주췌관 내에 위치한 췌석에 의해 체액 흐름이 지장을 받아 췌관 내 압력이 상승하여 복통이 발생하였다고 추정된다[3]. 영상 검사에서 췌석 상류쪽 주췌관이 확장된 것이 이를 뒷받침한다고 할 수 있다. 그러나 만성 췌장염 환자에서 복통의 발생기전은 매우 다양하기 때문에 췌석이 존재한다고 해서 반드시 췌석이 복통의 원인이라고 할 수 없다. 일부 환자에서는 복통의 원인이 췌장 밖에 있어서 췌관 결석 제거 후에도 통증이 지속된다[1]. 본 증례에서는 췌석 제거후 주췌관 직경이 현저히 감소함을 확인하였으며 추적 기간 동안 더 이상 복통이 발생하지 않아서 췌석이 복통의 원인임을 확인할 수 있었다.. 2012년에 발표된 유럽소화기내시경학회의 만성 췌장염진료지침을 보면[4], 췌석 제거의 ...

Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography - Wikipedia  Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography - Wikipedia
Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) is a medical imaging technique that uses magnetic resonance imaging to visualize the biliary and pancreatic ducts in a non-invasive manner. This procedure can be used to determine if gallstones are lodged in any of the ducts surrounding the gallbladder. It was introduced in 1991. MRCP makes use of heavily T2-weighted MRI pulse sequences. These sequences show high signal in static or slow moving fluids within the gallbladder, biliary ducts and pancreatic duct, with low signal of surrounding tissue. In the diagnosis of pancreatic disorders, MRCP is a much less invasive investigation when compared to endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Although both techniques can image the ductal system in detail, MRCP also allows imaging of the surrounding parenchyma. In a study from 2008, 269 patients undergoing both ERCP and MRCP showed comparable results between the two techniques. Prasad, SR; D. Sahani; S. Saini (November 2001). "Clinical ...

This book aims to provide the basic technology and recent advances in biliopancreatic endoscopy. The method of Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is popularly applied to enlarge the papillary orifice for removal of biliary and pancreatic stones, to relieve obstruction of distal bile duct or pancreatic duct by nasobiliary / nasopancreatic drainage or stenting, and to remove the premalignant tumor of papilla in recent four decades. The diagnostic role of ERCP is already replaced by the noninvasive images such as abdominal sonography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) and endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS ...

It is important to verify that other, more serious conditions are not being missed prior to embarking on a diagnosis of sphincter of Oddi dysfunction. Therefore, it would be important to verify that the patient does not have stones within the bile ducts, cancer of the pancreas or bile ducts, peptic ulcer disease or heart disease (poor blood flow to the heart, called "ischemia" or "angina" may mimic these symptoms).. The diagnosis of sphincter of Oddi dysfunction can be confirmed using a special endoscope that allows the placement of a catheter into the bile and pancreatic ducts. Injection of contrast through the catheter coupled with the use of X-rays can give the physician pictures of the bile and pancreatic ducts. The procedure, which requires a special scope is known as an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). This procedure can help determine the presence of gallstones in the gall bladder or bile duct. In the case of bile duct stones, special instruments and procedures ...

Results The response rate was 59.5% (222/373). Of respondents 52.5% considered ever using prophylactic pancreatic stents (PPS) for the prevention of PEP. Those who used PPS always attempted to do so for the following procedural risk factors; pancreatic sphincterotomy (48.9%), suspected sphincter of Oddi dysfunction (46.5%), pancreatic duct instrumentation (35.9%), previous PEP (25.2%), precut sphincterotomy (8.5%) and pancreatic duct injection (7.8%). The decision to use prophylactic NSAIDs was significantly associated with attempts at PPS placement (p , 0.001).The stent characteristics, follow-up methods and timing varied significantly. Of those who did not use PPS 64.1% cited a lack of conviction in their benefit as the main reason for their decision. Self-reported pharmacological use rates for PEP prevention were: NSAIDS (34.6%), Antibiotics (20.6%), Rapid IV Fluids (13.2%) and Octreotide (1.6%). Only 6% of respondents routinely measured amylase post-ERCP.. ...

Aim: Acute biliary pancreatitis (ABP) is caused by alteration of the papillary patency. The normal transpapillar flux and the cleaning of the common biliary duct (CBD) may prevent potentially avoidable recurrent pancreatitis. Patients and Methods: In the period September 1997/december 2008 we have treated 224 ABP (34 severe, 190 mild/moderate): 162 (72,4%) with the first attack, 62 (27,6%) with recurrent ABP (second or further attack). The patients with recurrent pancreatitis had not undergone, in the previous hospital stay elsewhere, the evaluation and, if necessary, the treatment of the papillary obstacle and /or CBD stones, sludge, etc. In ours hospital all patients had undergone complete treatment of ABP: intensive therapy, clinical: instrumental control of the papillary patency, then ERCP/ES(180-80%) within 72 hours from the onset in all SAP, in mild/moderate with signs of papillary lithiasic obstacle (US/MRCP confirmation), in all recurrent pancreatitis, and videolaparocholecystectomy. ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - Improving ERCP quality and decreasing risk to patients and providers. AU - Kachaamy, Toufic A.. AU - Faigel, Douglas Orrick. PY - 2013/8. Y1 - 2013/8. N2 - Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) continues to be one of the most complex gastrointestinal procedures and carries the highest risk of complications. Optimizing the outcome of ERCP requires a fine balance between the risk and the benefit of every maneuver performed. This fine balance has to include an analysis of the indication for the procedure, the optimal timing, the setting where the procedure is performed, the endoscopist and staff training and expertise, availability of surgical and interventional radiology support, the risk of every maneuver and ways to minimize this risk. As in any other procedure, it is very important to know ones limitations and have a plan for failed procedures including consulting a colleague or referring the patient to a center with more expertise. In addition, a process of ...

Is protein-deficient diabetes mellitus a pancreatitis?  Is protein-deficient diabetes mellitus a pancreatitis?
BACKGROUND: Malnutrition-related diabetes mellitus is a distinct clinical entity subdivided into protein-deficient diabetes mellitus (PDDM) and fibrocalculus pancreatic diabetes (FCPD). Whereas FCPD has obvious pancreatitis manifested by pancreatic duct calculi, the evidence for involvement of the pancreas in PDDM is limited to the presence of ketosis-resistant hyperglycaemia. METHODS: We studied 10 patients with PDDM biochemically and radiologically. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography was performed to determine if they had any evidence of chronic pancreatitis. RESULTS: Their mean faecal chymotrypsin level was low (13.2+/-5.72 microg/g), as was their basal c-peptide value (0.35+/-0.15 mmol/L). Islet cell antibodies were not detected in any of these patients. Ultrasound examination revealed pancreatic atrophy. In two patients, however, the pancreas was bulky. The ERCP showed generalized thinning of the pancreatic duct, measuring 2.4+/-0.06mm in the head, 2.01+/-0.08 mm in the body and ...

Endoscopy Unit  Endoscopy Unit
The term Endoscopy is used to describe the direct visual examination of any part of the interior of the body through an optical viewing instrument.. This can be through the mouth into the stomach (gastroscopy), through the anus into the large bowel (colonoscopy), through the nose into the lungs (bronchoscopy), or through the urethra to the bladder (cystoscopy).. Another examination that is performed by the endoscopy staff is ERCP (endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography). A dye is injected into the bile and pancreatic ducts using a flexible, video endoscope. Then x-rays are taken to outline the bile ducts and pancreas.. The Endoscopy Unit at UCLH is one of the largest units in the UK performing over 14,000 procedures per year. There are 7 state of the art endoscopy rooms and a 16 bay recovery area.

A dilute solution of vasopressin is injected into the mesosalpinx in order to decrease blood loss during mobilization of the proximal and distal tubal segments. Potts scissors and micro-bipolar graspers are used to mobilize tubal segments and to deperitonealize the edges of the mesosalpinx. Even though we have bipolar electrocautery (micro-bipolar forceps) at our disposal, we employ it sparingly to avoid occult thermal damage to the tubal epithelium.. A graduated-tip ERCP (endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography) cannula (Contour 3-4-5 Tip ERCP Cannula, Boston Scientific, Natick, Mass.) is inserted through the fimbriated end of the distal tubal segment; it exits through the newly opened proximal lumen of this distal segment and enters the newly created opening of the proximal tubal segment. This stent provides anatomic orientation and helps to identify the tubal lumen.. Preparation of the tubal edges and placement of the ERCP cannula are performed with the assistance of chromopertubation. ...

JCI - TRPV4 channel opening mediates pressure-induced pancreatitis initiated by Piezo1 activation  JCI - TRPV4 channel opening mediates pressure-induced pancreatitis initiated by Piezo1 activation
Elevated pressure in the pancreatic gland is the central cause of pancreatitis following abdominal trauma, surgery, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), and gallstones. In the pancreas excessive intracellular calcium causes mitochondrial dysfunction, premature zymogen activation, and necrosis ultimately leading to pancreatitis. Although stimulation of the mechanically activated, calcium-permeable ion channel, Piezo1, in the pancreatic acinar cell is the initial step in pressure-induced pancreatitis, activation of Piezo1 produces only transient elevation in intracellular calcium that is insufficient to cause pancreatitis. Therefore, how pressure produces a prolonged calcium elevation necessary to induce pancreatitis is unknown. We demonstrate that Piezo1 activation in pancreatic acinar cells caused a prolonged elevation in intracellular calcium levels, mitochondrial depolarization, intracellular trypsin activation, and cell death. Notably, these effects were dependent on the ...

FDA ISSUES SAFETY ALERT ABOUT INFECTION RISKS WITH DUODENOSCOPES  FDA ISSUES SAFETY ALERT ABOUT INFECTION RISKS WITH DUODENOSCOPES
The FDA recently issued a safety communication about potentially serious health risks associated with the use of ERCP endoscopes (also called duodenoscopes). These medical devices are flexible, lighted tubes that are threaded through the mouth, throat, stomach, [in order to reach] the small intestine [or duodenum]. Their use allows the injection of contrast dye [for imaging] or the insertion of other instruments to obtain tissue samples for biopsy or treat certain abnormalities. Duodenoscopes are utilized during a procedure called endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (or ERCP) which is the least invasive way of draining fluids from pancreatic and biliary ducts blocked by cancerous tumors, gallstones, or other conditions.. According to the FDA, the complex design of duodenoscopes may hinder their proper cleaning and disinfection. In particular, they feature an elevator mechanism whose moving parts... contain microscopic crevices that may not be reached with a [cleaning] brush. ...

Identification of Cholangiocarcinoma by Using the Spyglass Spyscope System for Peroral Cholangioscopy and Biopsy Collection  Identification of Cholangiocarcinoma by Using the Spyglass Spyscope System for Peroral Cholangioscopy and Biopsy Collection
Background and Aims: It is a challenge to collect samples from bile duct strictures to diagnose patients with cholangiocarcinoma. We investigated the utility of the Spyglass Spyscope, a single-operator endoscope that is used to perform cholangiopancreatoscopy, to identify extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma in patients who were not diagnosed with this disorder by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) cytology or endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) analyses. Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of data from 30 patients (median age, 67 years; 67percent male) with indeterminate extrahepatic biliary strictures who were ultimately diagnosed with cholangiocarcinoma but had inconclusive results from initial biliary ductal brush cytology and EUS-FNA analyses. Patients then underwent cholangioscopy by using the Spyglass Spyscope and intraductal biopsy analysis. None of the patients had a definitive mass in abdominal imaging or EUS analyses. Results: The ...

Current Controversies in Management of Bile Duct Injuries | MedCrave  Current Controversies in Management of Bile Duct Injuries | MedCrave
Different approaches to the treatment of bile duct injuries. According to the existing literature, endoscopic and/or radiologic management of BDI is feasible, whenever theres a continuity in bile duct and not a complete transection. These approaches can include an endoscopic retrograde cholangiography to drain bile ducts after sphincterotomy or placement of endoprosthesis [1]. Approach by an endoscopic retrograde cholangiography allows biliary stenting or balloon dilatation, considered to be the first-line treatment in some referral centres. Usually the placement of a 7 - 8.5 French single plastic stent is the first step in a series of endoscopic rehabilitation protocol. If a single stent is not effective, placement of multiple stents or a large-diameter stent can be selected [2]. Patients undergoing endoscopic stent treatment has shown a safe and favourable long term outcome, although no consensus has been reached regarding placement of one single stent alone or sequential insertion of ...

Laparoscopic Common Bile Duct Exploration and Laser Lithotripsy: A Novel Approach to Management of Common Bile Duct Stones -...  Laparoscopic Common Bile Duct Exploration and Laser Lithotripsy: A Novel Approach to Management of Common Bile Duct Stones -...
Introduction: Common bile duct stones (CBDS) are found in approximately 10% of patients who undergo cholecystectomy. Symptomatic common bile duct stones are a source of significant morbidity as they may cause obstructive jaundice, cholangitis, biliary cirrhosis and pancreatitis. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) has been a mainstay of treatment for common bile duct stones. Laparoscopic common bile duct exploration has also proven to be a safe, cost effective and efficacious way of clearing ductal stones. Failure to clear stones by either method however often requires more invasive measures such as open common bile duct exploration, which in turn increases morbidity, hospital length of stay and recovery time. We present a novel approach to managing impacted common bile duct stones by utilizing laparoscopic transcystic common bile duct exploration and holmium laser lithotripsy with favorable outcomes. Methods: This is a case series of patients undergoing laparoscopic ...

BACKGROUND: Overlap syndrome is a term used for overlapping features of autoimmune hepatitis and primary sclerosing cholangitis or primary biliary cirrhosis and for autoimmune cholangitis. We describe a high prevalence of small duct primary sclerosing cholangitis among patients with overlapping autoimmune hepatitis and primary sclerosing cholangitis. METHODS: We sought to retrieve all patients with overlap syndrome between primary sclerosing cholangitis and autoimmune hepatitis in six university hospitals in Sweden. The revised autoimmune hepatitis scoring system proposed by the International Autoimmune Hepatitis Group was used to establish the diagnosis autoimmune hepatitis. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiography and/or magnetic resonance cholangiography were used to separate the primary sclerosing cholangitis cases diagnosed through liver biopsy into small and large primary sclerosing cholangitis. A histological diagnosis compatible with both autoimmune hepatitis and primary sclerosing ...
