Results There was no significant difference between the early TPS group and the delayed TPS group in terms of general information such as gender, age and ERCP indications (all P >0.05), while the cannulation time [ 12 (10,15) min vs 21 (16,27) min, Z=8.262, P<0.001] and procedure ...
In terms of anatomy, the length from esophagojejunal anastomosis to Y-limb is about 30 cm when an operation is performed. However, frequent pushing of endoscope during insertion can stretch the tract as much 60 cm or more. Alternatively, another Y-limb may be formed with a loop. You must...
in our study. In the present study, more than 3/4 of patients were placed in modified position (i.e., supine, right or left lateral), had no advantage in terms of difficult cannulation (72.7% vs. 66.7%) compared to patients under traditional prone position, but numerically higher successf...
Duodenoscope performance is a key contributor to successful ERCP in terms of both cannulation attempts and time spent performing procedures. Olympus duodenoscopes allow full confidence in achieving the proper insertion angle and limiting the need to readjust or reapproach. Minimizing cannulation attempts...
When the 4th hour amylase value of 300 U/L was taken as a limit, it had a positive predictive value of 52.1% in terms of pancreatitis positive. Additionally, the outpatient procedure was more cost-effective when the two groups were compared in terms of the cost [...
