Factors affecting technical success of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatographic outcomes in patients with surgically altered foregut anatomy: a retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Patients with surgically altered gastrointestinal anatomy undergoing endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) pose challenges due to anatomical distortions. Various patient and endoscopic factors, such as sex and positioning, may impact procedural success. It is unclear how these factors may impact the technical success of ERCP among patients with altered anatomy.

Objective

We aimed to determine the patient and endoscopic factors that were associated with technical success of ERCP.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective single-centre study using data from 2010 to 2020 that included patients with hepaticojejunostomy, Roux-en-Y anastomosis, Billroth-1, or Billroth-2 anatomy at a single tertiary care centre in Toronto, Canada. We extracted data fr
