Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP

1.4K
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.

Summary

Post-cholecystectomy diarrhoea is often bile acid diarrhoea (BAD), but diagnosis rates are low. Increased awareness and timely investigation using 75-SeHCAT testing are crucial for effective treatment of this common condition.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Hepatology
  • Surgical Outcomes

Background:

  • Bile acid diarrhoea (BAD) can result from disrupted enterohepatic circulation, frequently occurring after cholecystectomy.
  • Post-cholecystectomy diarrhoea affects a significant patient percentage, but not all cases are attributable to BAD.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the diagnostic rates of bile acid diarrhoea (BAD) in patients following cholecystectomy.
  • To evaluate current investigation practices for post-cholecystectomy diarrhoea.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of electronic databases from five centers (2013-2017) for patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
  • Cross-referencing surgical data with 75-SeHCAT testing results to identify positive diagnoses (7-day retention <15%).
  • Analysis of patient demographics, time from surgery to investigation, and comparison for statistical significance (p < 0.05).

Main Results:

  • 9439 patients underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy; 202 (2.1%) were investigated for diarrhoea via 75-SeHCAT.
  • Of those investigated, 62.8% were diagnosed with bile acid diarrhoea (BAD).
  • Median time from surgery to 75-SeHCAT testing was 672 days, indicating significant diagnostic delays.

Conclusions:

  • A small proportion of post-cholecystectomy patients are investigated for diarrhoea, often with substantial delays.
  • The true prevalence of BAD post-cholecystectomy may be underestimated.
  • Increased clinician awareness of BAD and utilization of 75-SeHCAT testing are recommended for timely diagnosis and treatment.
