Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP

6.6K
Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a diagnostic procedure that combines endoscopy and fluoroscopy to diagnose and treat conditions related to the bile ducts, pancreatic ducts, and gallbladder. This procedure is beneficial for identifying and addressing blockages, gallstones, strictures, and tumors within the biliary or pancreatic systems. ERCP is both diagnostic and therapeutic, offering the ability to visualize and treat identified problems in one session.

Area of Science:

  • Colorectal Surgery
  • Surgical Outcomes
  • Enhanced Recovery Programs

Background:

  • Fast-track recovery programs reduce surgical impact and hospital stays.
  • Enhanced recovery protocols enable consideration of outpatient colectomy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a protocol for outpatient colectomy.
  • To assess the feasibility of same-day discharge after colectomy.

Main Methods:

  • A specific enhanced recovery protocol was developed and validated.
  • Patient selection criteria included good general condition and no severe comorbidities.
  • Discharge was based on the Chung score, with home nursing support.

Main Results:

  • Five patients underwent outpatient colectomy for various indications.
  • The postoperative course was generally uncomplicated.
  • Two patients experienced minor complications: dysuria and incisional hematoma.

Conclusions:

  • This study demonstrates the feasibility of strictly outpatient colectomy (stay < 12h).
  • Outpatient colectomy is achievable for selected patients within an enhanced recovery framework.
  • Availability of at-home monitoring is crucial for successful outpatient colectomy.
