Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP

5.6K
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.

Endoscopic Procedures III: Video Capsule Endoscopy

1.2K
Capsule endoscopy, or wireless or video capsule endoscopy, is a diagnostic procedure for examining the entire gastrointestinal tract. Patients swallow a capsule about the size of a vitamin tablet. The capsule is equipped with a transmitter, a battery, an LED light source, and a color video camera to capture images throughout the gastrointestinal tract. This procedure is particularly useful for diagnosing conditions such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, tumors, polyps, ulcers,...

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Endoscopy
  • Surgical Audit

Background:

  • Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a complex procedure with potential complications like post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP).
  • Modern ERCP techniques aim to enhance safety and efficacy.
  • Limited data exist on the performance of newly qualified practitioners using these advanced methods.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To audit the ERCP practice of a newly qualified practitioner.
  • To compare audit outcomes with Australian national ERCP data.
  • To review the evidence base for contemporary ERCP techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective data collection of all ERCP procedures performed by a new practitioner from September 2011 to May 2015.
  • Comparison of audit results with a national ERCP practice survey.
  • Literature review of recent advancements in ERCP.

Main Results:

  • The audit included 478 therapeutic ERCPs with a 97% success rate and a 0.8% adverse event rate.
  • Wire-guided biliary cannulation was employed, with a 97% success rate in naive papillae.
  • The dual-wire cannulation technique was favored over needle-knife sphincterotomy, with 70% of dual-wire cases involving pancreatic duct stenting to mitigate PEP risk.

Conclusions:

  • Newly qualified practitioners can achieve high ERCP success rates and minimal adverse events with modern techniques.
  • Practice patterns aligned with national data, with a preference for dual-wire cannulation.
  • Ongoing practice audits are crucial for monitoring ERCP efficacy and safety.
