Abstract
CRUZ-LOPEZ, Jaime E.; GUZMAN-AGUILAR, Rafael; CONDE-MORA, María A. and MENDEZ-RAMIREZ, Levi A.. Management of post-ERCP duodenal perforations: experience at Hospital Juárez de México. Cir. cir. [online]. 2023, vol.91, n.6, pp.829-834. Epub Jan 30, 2024. ISSN 2444-054X. https://doi.org/10.24875/ciru.22000299.
Background:
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is an endoscopic study in which the duodenum is observed laterally, and the bile duct is instrumented. There are several indications and complications in the procedure.
Objective:
To determine the incidence of duodenal perforations, using the Stapfer classification in the Hospital Juárez de Mexico over a period of 5 years, as well as the management implemented in such cases.
Method:
The study was carried out at the Hospital Juárez de Mexico of the Ministry of Health. All patients who underwent ERCP between January 1, 2017, to May 30, 2022 were included.
Results:
485 ERCP were performed in the study period. Incidence of 1.6% post-ERCP duodenal perforation. The average age of the subjects 56.37 years. In-hospital stay of post-ERCP perforations averaged 9.37 days. The time of the endoscopic study at the time of the surgical procedure is 10 h on average.
Conclusions:
Post-ERCP duodenal perforation is a complication that occurs with a low incidence, it tends to increase the number of days of in-hospital stay and increases morbimortality of patients; therefore, it is important to be always alert.
