Trial summary

We describe a case of a 57-year-old patient with altered RYGB anatomy, who underwent a laparoscopic cholecystectomy with a intra-operative cholangiogram showing a stone on the common bile duct. A laparoscopic assisted trans-gastric ERCP was successfully performed. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Laparoscopy-Assisted Transgastric Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography for Choledocholithiasis After Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass

We describe a case of a 57-year-old patient with altered RYGB anatomy, who underwent a laparoscopic cholecystectomy with a intra-operative cholangiogram showing a stone on the common bile duct. A laparoscopic assisted trans-gastric ERCP was successfully performed. The presentation of the case is presented as well a review of the literature.

Read the detailed description

The exclusion of the stomach after Roux-en-Y-Gastric bypass (RYGB) makes access to the biliary tree very challenging for the surgeon or the endoscopist. There are different techniques described to overcome this downside, being laparoscopic assisted trans-gastric endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) approach an outstanding method to access the remnant stomach for reaching the duodenal papilla, with a high rate of success reported. We describe a case of a 57-year-old patient with altered RYGB anatomy, who underwent a laparoscopic cholecystectomy with a intra-operative cholangiogram showing a stone on the common bile duct. A laparoscopic assisted trans-gastric ERCP was successfully performed, introducing the duodenoscope through a gastrostomy without the need of an intra-gastric trocar. The patient evolved favorably and was discharged on his second postoperative day without complications.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Proof the efficacy of laparoscopic assisted transgastric endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography

    This technique is a feasible and achievable procedure with low rate of complications for treating patients with altered RYGB anatomy that present biliary tract disorders, allowing an endoscopic treatment and cholecystectomy to be performed in a single setting.

    Measured: April 2019
