Residual bioburden in reprocessed side-view endoscopes used for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)

Residual bioburden in reprocessed side-view endoscopes used for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)

BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIM Worldwide some endoscopy units routinely continue to use manual reprocessing techniques for disinfection of side-view endoscopes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcome quality of manual reprocessing techniques for removal and inactivation of the bioburden from side-view endoscopes used for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in a tertiary r...

Case series of papillectomy by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)

Ampullary neoplasms are one of the causes of obstructive jaundice. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is useful procedure for diagnosing and tissue sampling of ampullary neoplasms. Ampullectomy by resecting entire ampulla provides whole lesion for pathologic evaluation and also is appropriate for real pathologic staging for further management decision but ampullectomy conside...

Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) Related Acute Pancreatitis

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)-related esophageal perforation in osteogenesis imperfecta.

A 77-year-old woman with osteogenesis imperfecta was admitted with symptomatic choledocholithiasis. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) was carried out and mild resistance was encountered in the distal esophagus with “red out” during intubation. The duodenoscope was withdrawn and gastroscopy revealed a tear in the distal esophagus (●" Fig.1). As a perforation was suspected, a ...
