Although balloon-assisted enteroscopy-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (BAE-ERCP) is a well-described means of accessing the duodenal papilla in patients with Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), it is associated with modest clinical success rates. Laparoscopy-assisted ERCP (LA-ERCP)-performed by advancing a standard duodenoscope through a gastrostomy into the excluded stomach and duodenum-has emerged as a viable alternative to BAE-ERCP, with apparently higher success rates. In this systematic review, we compare LA-ERCP with enteroscopy-based techniques in post-RYGB patients, including 22 case series that provided data on papilla identification, papilla cannulation, and complications. We found that LA-ERCP was superior to the enteroscopy-based techniques in its capacity to reach the duodenal papilla, although complication rates were lower for the latter. Comparative studies are needed in order to corroborate our findings.

Article Synopsis
  • The study compared three techniques for ERCP (endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography) in patients who had undergone Roux-en-Y gastric bypass: enteroscopy-assisted (EA-ERCP), laparoscopy-assisted (LA-ERCP), and endoscopic ultrasound-directed (EDGE).
  • 67 studies were analyzed, showing that EDGE had the highest technical success rate at 96%, followed by LA-ERCP at 93%, and EA-ERCP at 77%, with significant differences between EA-ERCP and the other methods.
  • The overall rates of adverse events were similar across all techniques, suggesting that EDGE and LA-ERCP are both effective and as safe

Background: Management of biliopancreatic pathology in Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) patients is challenging despite the availability of multiple approaches like single-balloon enteroscopy-assisted ERCP (SBE-ERCP), laparoscopy-assisted ERCP (LA-ERCP), and EUS-directed transgastric intervention (EDGI). We evaluated the outcomes of the interchangeable combination of endoscopic procedures to treat biliopancreatic pathology in RYGB patients.

Materials And Methods: This is a monocentric retrospective study of consecutive RYGB patients with biliopancreatic pathology between June 2014 and September 2023.

Objectives: Endoscopic ultrasound-directed transgastric endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP; EDGE) is proposed as a less invasive alternative to laparoscopy-assisted ERCP. However, postponing ERCP for 1-2 weeks to reduce the risk of lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS) migration may not be practical in urgent cases such as cholangitis, leading to increased procedural burden. This study aimed to assess the feasibility and safety of a single-session EDGE utilizing a dedicated over-the-scope fixation device.

The increasing prevalence of bariatric surgery, particularly Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, has necessitated innovative approaches for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) due to the altered anatomy. Laparoscopy-assisted ERCP offers high success rates but leads to extended hospital stays and an increased risk of adverse events. Enteroscopy-assisted ERCP encounters technical challenges, resulting in lower success rates.
