Abstract:
In a retrospective review of 51 patients undergoing palliative procedures for carcinoma of the pancreas from 1974 to 1979, cholecystoenterostomy was as effective as choledochoenterostomy. Patients with loops had the same incidence of cholangitis as those with Roux-Y limbs. Prophylactic gastroenterostomy was not performed routinely. Few patients needed a later gastroenterostomy for progressive cancer.

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.
