pancreatitis (1st ERCP)

  1. Conventional over-the-wire biliary sphincterotomy was performed in all patients. In some patients, pre-cut sphincterotomy was performed to obtain access to the common bile duct prior to conventional sphincterotomy. The pre-cut and conventional sphincterotomy were performed during the same procedure apart from patient no 5 and 23 in whom they were performed a few weeks apart from each other as access to the common bile duct was achieved on a subsequent procedure a few weeks after pre-cut sphincterotomy.
  2. a2nd ERCP, sphincterotomy extended; 3rd ERCP, trial of stent; 4th ERCP, stent removal as it was ineffective
  3. b2nd ERCP for pancreatic sphincter of Oddi manometry showing raised pressure, pancreatic sphincterotomy performed leading to symptom improvement
  4. c2nd ERCP, sphincterotomy assessed to be inadequate and was widened with no effect on symptoms
  5. d2nd ERCP showed patent sphincterotomy, no endotherapy performed
  6. e2nd ERCP for pancreatic SOM but pancreatic duct cannulation failed
  7. f2nd ERCP done as pancreatic duct appeared dilated on follow-up MRCP. Pancreatic orifice appeared stenosed. No endotherapy performed as pancreatic stent could not be inserted despite deep guide wire pancreatic duct cannulation; 3rd ERCP for repeat attempt to perform pancreatic sphincterotomy, instrument failure during procedure; 4th ERCP pancreatic stenting and pancreatic sphincterotomy achieved leading to improvement in symptoms
  8. g2n ERCP for pancreatic SOM normal pancreatic pressure thus no endotherapy performed
  9. h2nd ERCP showed re-stenosed biliary sphincterotomy, biliary stenting performed; 3rd ERCP cholangitis due to stent obstruction, re-stenting; 4th ERCP extended sphincterotomy
  10. i2nd ERCP showed patent sphincterotomy, biliary stenting performed; 3rd ERCP removal of stent as ineffective
  11. j2nd ERCP, patent sphincterotomy, biliary stenting which was effective; 3rd-7th ERCP stent changes until surgery (choledochojejunostomy)
  12. k2nd ERCP done for pancreatic sphincter of Oddi manometry, raised pancreatic pressure found and pancreatic sphincterotomy performed with improvement in symptoms; 3rd ERCP done due to symptom recurrence showed patent sphincterotomies, referred for surgery (open transduodenal sphincteroplasty)
