endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ercp) is a specific technique used to study the pancreatobiliary system that is performed in hepatogastroenterology centers. recent, common uses for therapeutic ercp are largely due to advanced imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography and endosonography. in the united states alone, over 500,000 therapeutic ercp are pe...

aim : the aim of this study was to analyze clinical findings and treatment outcomes of patients with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography complications. background : endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography has become a very common procedure for the evaluation and treatment of biliary and pancreatic diseases. patients and methods : a retrospective review of 2447 endoscopic retro...

Congenital polyps of the posterior urethra are rare lesions, and have often been described in boys. The polyps are benign lesion usually lined by a transitional epithelium, but cases of squamous or intestinal metaplasia have been reported.We report a case of a 10 years old boy referred for hematuria and dysuria.The voiding cysto urethrogram revealed a filling defect in the posterior urethra. At...

one of the routine methods for diagnosis and treatment of cholelithiasis is endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. it is an effective method but is associated with some complications (9.8%) which the most common is pancreatitis (5.4%). one of the rare complications is basket impaction in the common bile duct which is treated with different methods. a 58 years male history of laparoscop...

endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ercp) is widely used for the diagnosis and treatment of biliary and pancreatic tract disease. perforation is a rare complication of it, but it is associated with high rate of mortality, an overall mortality rate of 1.0-1.5%. here, a case of massive subcutaneous emphysema following ercp was reported without an obvious retroperitoneal or peritoneal ...

the use of diagnostic and therapeutic methods for assessing pulmonary vein due to its status as a main source of ectopic beats for the initiation of atrial dysrrythmias is strongly recommended.   we report the case of a 13-year-old girl who was admitted to our hospital with the electrocardiogram manifestation of an ectopic atrial tachycardia. the focus of arrhythmia was inside the right upper p...

postcholecystectomy clip migration is rare and can lead to complications such as clip-related biliary stones. most of such incidents have been reported as case reports. this study reviews a case of postcholecystectomy clip migration. it can occur at any time but typically occur at a median of 2 years after cholecystectomy. clinical presentations are similar to those with primary or secondary ch...

context different approaches are routinely applied in the treatment of concomitant cholecystocholedocholithiasis. most patients are treated by preoperative endoscopic sphincterotomy followed by laparoscopic cholecystectomy in a two-stage approach. however one-stage approach carrying out intraoperative endoscopic sphincterotomy (ioes) is emerging as a minimally invasive alternative option. our r...

background: juxta-ampullary diverticulum is an acquisitive disorder generally observed in patients over the age of forty years. the purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationship between this abnormality and the incidence of post-ercp complications. â  materials and methods: this was a case-control cross-sectional study that compared post- ercp complications between patients with juxta-a...

A one-year-old alpine wether was presented for emergency evaluation of stranguria. Diagnostics identified a moderately distended bladder and mild dehydration. Preliminary lateral radiographs two metallic structures consistent with projectile pellets in the pelvic perineal regions no evidence radiopaque uroliths. tube cystostomy performed, contrast urethrogram revealed one region proximity to ur...
