Although endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography (ERCP) is considered a safe procedure, it is associated with complications such as pancreatitis, bleeding and perforation of the bile duct, pancreatic duct and duodenum. In recent years, successful conservative treatment in selected patients with complications have increased. We present a cas...

... opacification, the common bile duct was found to be 11 mm in diameter with a dilated left intrahepatic bile duct and two filling defects were seen in the common bile duct. Some sludge and one black pigment stone were removed with a Dormia basket after four attempts. After the procedure, bile duct decompression was demonstrated radiographically (Fig. 1), but successful bile flow towards the papilla was not achieved endoscopically and we also saw debris-like material in extracted ...

Background/Aim: Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) training requires varying degrees of staff assistance regarding operation of the fluoroscopy machine via a foot pedal. Efficiency is important to acquire during this training due to radiation risks. In this study, we evaluate the effect of controlling endoscopy and fluoroscopy un...
EUS-guided biliary drainage (EUS-BD) has been recognized as a new alternative to failed ERCP. The alternatives for failed/impossible ERCP in cases of difficult and selective bile duct cannulation include percutaneous transhepatic BD (PTBD) with precut papillotomy. EUS-BD is reportedly more convenient than PTBD and more successful than precut papill...
Introduction
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a relatively new endoscopic procedure combined with fluoroscopy that is performed for multiple diagnostic and therapeutic indications. It carries a known risk of radiation exposure to patients and staff. We aimed to examine radiation administration techniques and to measure the r...
Background: We report our experience of treating anastomotic strictures using a novel type of fully covered metal stent (FCSEMS). This stent, known as the Kaffes Stent, is short-length with an antimigration waist and easily removable due to long retrieval wires deployed within the duodenum.
Methods: 62 patients who had this stent inserted were pros...
