Initial United Kingdom experience of endoscopic ultrasound-directed transgastric endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography.

ABSTRACT:

Backgrounds/aims

Gallstone disease is a recognized complication of bariatric surgery. Subsequent management of choledocholithiasis may be challenging due to altered anatomy which may include Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). We conducted a retrospective service evaluation study to assess the safety and efficacy of endoscopic ultrasound-directed transgastric endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (EDGE) in patients with RYGB anatomy.

Methods

All the patients who underwent EDGE for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography after RYGB at two tertiary care centers in the United Kingdom between January 2020 and October 2021 were included in the study.
