Background:
The management of type II endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)-related perforation is still controversial. This study aimed to compare the effects of covered self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS), surgery, and conservative treatment for type II perforation.
Methods:
From January 2010 to December 2021, this study collected relevant data from five large hospitals in China. The data of ERCP difficulty grading and ERCP-related perforation in 26,673 cases that underwent ERCP during 11 years were retrospectively analyzed. Of 55 patients with type II perforation, 41 patients were implanted with a biliary covered SEMS (stent group), 10 underwent surgery (surgery group), and 4 received conservative treatment (conservative group).
Results:
Among the 55 patients with type II perforation, ERCP and computed tomography diagnostic rates of type II perforation were 10.91% (6/55) and 89.09% (49/55), respectively. The incidence of type II perforation in grade 5 ERCP (0.43%, 11/2,537) was significantly higher than that in grade 1-3 ERCP (0.16%, 32/19,471). (P = 0.004) and grade 1-4 ERCP (0.26%,12/4,665) (P = 0.008), respectively. Among the 10 patients in the surgical group, primary repair was performed in only 7 patients in whom location of the perforation could be identified. The incidence of retroperitoneal abscess was significantly lower in the stent group than in the surgery group (P = 0.018) and the conservative group (P = 0.001), respectively. The average hospital stay in the stent group was shorter than that in the surgery group (P = 0.000) and conservative group (P = 0.001), respectively.
Conclusions:
The incidence of type II perforation was dependent on the degree of difficulty of ERCP. The treatment of type II perforation with a covered SEMS can significantly reduce the incidence of retroperitoneal abscess and shorten the hospital stay, with better results than surgical and conservative treatments.
