Article Synopsis
- A 70-year-old man accidentally inserted a tubular object into his anus, leading to a reduction in bowel movements and prompting his visit to the emergency department 15 days later.
- After normal physical examination and an abdominal X-ray, a colonoscopy revealed an 18cm plastic tube lodged in the distal rectum, which was successfully removed.
- The patient developed an ulcer related to the foreign body but had no complaints at a six-month follow-up, highlighting the increasing incidence of self-inserted rectal foreign bodies and the need for clinical judgment in their management.
Introduction: Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in patients with Billroth II gastrectomy is still a challenging procedure. The optimal approach, namely the type of endoscope and sphincter management, has yet to be defined.
Aim: To compare the efficacy and safety of forward-viewing gastroscope and the side-viewing duodenoscope in ERCP of patients with Billroth II gastrectomy.
