Complications of pancreatitis biliar

The European Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) defines "difficult biliary cannulation" by the presence of one or more of the following: more than 5 contacts with the papilla, more than 5 minutes attempting to cannulate, or inadvertent cannulation of the pancreatic duct in 2 or more times (5-5-2 criteria), recommending these cut-off points to perform advanced cannulation techniques in order to reduce the rate of post-ERCP adverse events. Our objective was to evaluate the performance of the 5-5-2 criteria and their association with post-ERCP complications in a reference hospital in Peru...

OBJETIVE: Acute pancreatitis of biliary origin is a common gastrointestinal pathology, in which timely management still is the most important. The aims of this research is establish the socioeconomic impact in the current management of severe acute pancreatitis of biliary origin comparing two centers of the third level, one of high socioeconomic population and another of low in Bogotá, Colombia. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective, cross-sectional comparative study was conducted between January 2012 and December 2017, in two hospitals of Bogotá DC...

INTRODUCTION: Bile duct stones constitutes 20% of symptomatic gallbladder disease and difficult stones are one third of this. Endoscopic papillary large balloon dilation (EPLBD) with or without prior endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) produces excellent outcomes for the treatment of complex or difficult common bile duct (CBD) stones, alone or combined with previous therapeutic options as mechanical lithotripsy (ML) and temporary or definitive stenting. OBJECTIVES: Show success rate, complications and adverse events...

ANTECEDENTES: La pancreatitis aguda leve es una inflamación local del páncreas sin complicaciones locales ni falla orgánica. Su manejo consiste en tres elementos básicos: hidratación, analgesia y ayuno. La realimentación se inicia cuando el paciente no tiene dolor y refiere apetito, pero el momento exacto para iniciarla no está previamente documentado. OBJETIVO: Determinar la tolerancia a la alimentación oral inmediata (8 horas posterior al inicio del manejo) en comparación con la alimentación temprana (48 horas) en los pacientes con pancreatitis aguda biliar leve...

Se presenta el caso de una paciente de 68 años con un cuadro de colangitis recurrente y presencia de divertículo duodenal que comprime la vía biliar. El síndrome de Lemmel es una afección infrecuente en la literatura, debido a que los divertículos duodenales rara vez presentan síntomas (10%) y en general se diagnostican de manera incidental. El 75% de estos divertículos son periampulares. Si se localizan a 2.5 cm del ámpula de Vater son yuxtapapilares. Solo el 1% presentan complicaciones...

The endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is the election treatment of biliary obstruction. EUS-guided biliary drainage (EUS-BD) has emerged as an alternative to PTBD with a high technical and clinical success rate, low risk of complications and a better quality of life for the patient. Case presentation we present the first case in Colombia of EUS-guided biliary drainage using luminal apposing metal stent (LAMS) in a patient with unresectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma with biliary obstruction in who ERCP was failed due to neoplastic invasion of the Vater papilla...

INTRODUCTION: Despite the excellent results obtained with standard laparoscopic cholecystectomy, the efforts for minimizing the ports needed to reduce postoperative pain, for a quicker recovery and to improve the patient's cosmetics continue. The aim of this study is to report the results of the first 100 cases of single port laparoscopic cholecystectomy performed in a secondary care hospital. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Prospective, observational and unicentric study including 100 patients between January 2010 and April 2012...

HISTORY AND CLINICAL FINDINGS: A 55-year-old man suffered from severe acute abdominal pain. 10 years previously he had been diagnosed with acute pancreatitis. On palpation, there was pronounced abdominal tenderness and guarding. INVESTIGATIONS: Emergency CT revealed signs of intra- and extrahepatic cholestasis and biliar sludge; serum-lipase was increased. TREATMENT AND COURSE: Acute biliary pancreatitis was diagnosed. After admission the patient's condition deteriorated; acute renal failure and respiratory insufficiency developed...

BACKGROUND: Choledochal cysts (CCs) are rare congenital dilatations of the biliar tree. The incidence is 1:150,000. A correct diagnosis and surgical treatment are important because of the long term risks of infection and neoplasia. We report our experience with CCs in children. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients with CC disease, who were seen at the Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires between 1999 and 2009, were identified retrospectively from our prospectively acquired hepato-pancreatico-biliary database...

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a disease with several causes and diverse clinical course. In our environment there are not many papers on this entity and they approach punctual features inside the broad spectrum picture. The aim of this study is to determinate clinical features, etiology, handling and evolution of patients diagnosed with AP admitted in our Hospital during a three years period. The clinical records of patients with AP admitted at the British Hospital of Buenos Aires between April 2004 and April 2007 were retrospectively analyzed...

INTRODUCTION: Acute pancreatitis is a local inflammatory process that could be generalized by producing mild to severe gastroenteral manifestations, like multiple organ dysfunction and death. OBJECTIVE: To describe epidemiological, clinical, therapeutical characteristics and evolution of patients with AP of our unit and to compare with other studies of Peru and other countries. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We realized a review of all cases with AP treated in ICU-INCU of Victor Lazarte Echegaray Hospital over 1 degrees January of 2004 to April, 30 of 2007...

UNLABELLED: Pancreatic cancer is a great surgical problem. Clinical observations confirm 10-15% level of R0 resection ability. Dissatisfying treatment effects results from: lach of simple screening tests, low specificity of methods used to diagnose less than 2 cm lesions, low availability of advanced diagnostic methods (endoscopic ultrasonography), anatomy of pancreatoduodenic area, ability of infiltration adhering structures and causing metastatic tumors. AIM: Retrospective evaluation of treatment methods administered to patients with pancreatic cancer according to different clinical stages...

The most generally accepted therapy of choledochal cyst is cystectomy and biliar derivation by laparotomy. Last years, endoscopic papilotomy by ERCP has been a valuable therapeutic alternative, no only a diagnostic method. In this study, we reviewed five pediatric patients operated in our Deparment in last five years for choledochal cyst. The initial therapy was laparotomy (n=4) and endoscopic papilotomy by ERCP (n=1) This one was made in other Hospital. Follow-up has been between one and five years. All patients are living...

We analized the long-term results after surgical treatment in 41 patients with chronic pancreatitis. Twenty one of them underwent resection: 19 pancreaticoduodenectomy (11 Whipple procedure and 8 Traverso Longmire); total pancreatectomy (1) and near-total pancreatectomy (1). In the remaining 20 patients a drainage procedure was carried out: Puestow-Duval (5); Partington (7); double derivation: pancreatic and biliar (5); triple derivation: pancreatic, biliar, gastric (2) and Nardi procedure+quisteduodenostomy in one patient...

Transduodenal sphincteroplasty is a surgical procedure indicated for treatment and prophylaxis of biliary tract stones and Oddi's sphincter fibrosis. This report analyzes the experience in Mexico City at Instituto Nacional de la Nutrición "Salvador Zubirán", in the last 35 years. We report the indications, morbidity and mortality rates, risk factors which have influence in the final outcome, as well as the long term effectivity. We used the chi-square analysis for measuring this correlation. Sphincteroplasty was effective for long term biliary permeability in 93%...
