Successful Intubation Using a Cap-Assisted Colonoscope for Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography in Patients Undergoing Roux-en-Y Reconstruction.

ABSTRACT: Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is challenging in patients undergoing Roux-en-Y (REY) reconstruction; although balloon-assisted enteroscopy is the first-line treatment, it is not always available considering equipment and expertise. We aimed to evaluate the feasibility of using a cap-assisted colonoscope as the primary approach for ERCP in REY reconstruction. We included 47 patients with REY who underwent ERCP using a cap-assisted colonoscope between January 2017 and February 2022. The primary outcome was intubation success for ERCP using a cap-assisted colonoscope during REY reconstruction. The secondary outcomes were cannulation success, procedure-related adverse events, and variables affecting successful intubation. Comparing side-to-side jejunojejunostomy (SS-JJ)
