Background/aims: To evaluate the technical feasibility and clinical efficacy of double endoscopic nasobiliary drainage (ENBD) as a new method of draining multiple bile duct obstructions.
Methods: A total of 38 patients who underwent double ENBD between January 2004 and February 2010 at the Asan Medical Center were retrospectively analyzed. We evaluated indications, laboratory results, and the clinical course.
Results: Of the 38 patients who underwent double ENBD, 20 (52.6%) had Klatskin tumors, 12 (31.6%) had hepatocellular carcinoma, 3 (7.9%) had strictures at the anastomotic site following liver transplantation, and 3 (7.9%) had acute cholecystitis combined with cholangitis. Double ENBD was performed to relieve multiple biliary obstruction in 21 patients (55.1%), drain contrast agent filled during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography in 4 (10.5%), obtain cholangiography in 4 (10.5%), drain hemobilia in 3 (7.9%), relieve Mirizzi syndrome with cholangitis in 3 (7.9%), and relieve jaundice in 3 (7.9%).
Conclusions: Double ENBD may be useful in patients with multiple biliary obstructions.

Usefulness of endoscopic nasobiliary drainage-guided ERCP in patients with surgically altered anatomy (with video).

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in patients with surgically altered anatomy is one of the most challenging endoscopic procedures. Although single- or double-balloon endoscopes have been widely used, reaching the papilla of Vater (hepaticojejunostomy/pancreaticojejunostomy site) is often difficult. For patients in whom treatment cannot be completed in a single session, we placed endoscopic nasobiliary drainage (ENBD) at the end of the procedure; in the second session, the scope was inserted following ENBD placement.

Effect of pouched reconstruction after total gastrectomy on ERCP and ENBD--report of two cases.

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and endoscopic nasobiliary drainage (ENBD) are well known to be useful but these procedures are rarely indicated in patients after total gastrectomy, because the endoscopic approach is more difficult in the patients with standard reconstructions such as Roux-en-y esophagojejunostomy after total gastrectomy. Gastric replacement with various enteric reservoirs after gastrectomy has been used to improve the postprandial symptoms and nutrition of patients after total gastrectomy. We have been performing jejunal pouch double tract reconstruction (JPD) after gastrectomy and the patients' postoperative course has been satisfactory.
