Pure pancreatic juice has been collected from 61 patients at the time of endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography (ERCP) for the purpose of cytodiagnosis. The ERCP and cytological findings are discussed. Pure pancreatic juice cytology may help in the interpretation of the pancreatogram in both pancreatitis and pancreatic carcinoma. In patients with pancreatic carcinoma, ERCP alone was di...

CONTEXT Acute pancreatitis has been reported in many cases after therapeutic ERCP. CASE REPORT We report the case of a 65 year man old who, after ERCP, manifested biologically acute pancreatitis. The patient was observed using dynamic MR pancreatography with secretin administration before and after the ERCP. The dynamic MR pancreatography prominently displays a radiological sign of early chro...

BACKGROUND Endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography (ERCP) is an important tool in the management of pancreato-biliary disease. OBJECTIVE To compare the current practice of ERCP in a district general hospital with those reported in the 2007 British Society of Gastroenterology (BSG) ERCP audit and assess access to the service. DESIGN This was a service evaluation study. Data were coll...

Aim And Objectives: To recognize the normal appearence of bile duct & pancreatic duct and its variants by MRCP.To compare the accuracy of MRCP as a diagnostic tool in our institution with ERCP in the diagnosis of bile and pancreatic duct diseases, using specificity, sensitivity, positive and negative predictive values. Materials And Methods: Source of data :Patients from Departments of General ...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Biopsy of the ampulla of Vater may be performed to evaluate for ampullary adenomas, suspected ampullary tumors and immunohistological staining for autoimmune pancreatitis. Ampullary biopsies are commonly performed at the time of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Due to the well-established complication rate following ERCP, the contribution of ampullary b...

BACKGROUND We aim to evaluate the metabolic and inflammatory responses after ERCP procedure in patients who have common bile duct stones. METHODS Between September 2009 and October 2010, we studied prospectively 50 patients who diagnosed with common bile duct stones. Our study was included patients who had previously been suspected with common biliary duct stone via radiological and biochemic...

Acute pancreatitis is a common diagnosis worldwide, with gallstone disease being the most prevalent cause (50%). The American College of Gastroenterology recommends urgent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) (within 24 h) for patients with biliary pancreatitis accompanied by cholangitis. Most international guidelines recommend that ERCP be performed within 72 h in patients wit...

Introduction: Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is one of the most commonly performed minimally invasive procedures for diagnosis and treatment biliary pancreatic diseases. Hepatic hematoma secondary to ERCP a rare potentially serious complication with few cases described in literature. Objective: The objective present case giant hepatic subcapsular (HSH) ERCP, surgically re...

Complications related to endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) include pancreatitis, hemorrhage, cholangitis, and perforation. ERCP-related perforation is uncommon, but mortality rates are high. Diagnosis requires a high clinical suspicion for early detection to allow optimal management of the perforation and a better prognosis. Treatment depends on the location and mechanism an...

Background: The role of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) as a therapeutic intervention for choledocholithiasis is long established. Endoscopic therapy involves stone extraction using conventional methods after performing biliary sphincterotomy. objective this study was to determine the outcome patients with being treated in our setup.Methods: This retrospective observationa...
