AI Article Synopsis
- The effectiveness of preoperative ERCP for ampullary carcinomas is questioned due to the risk of complications.
- A case study involving a 59-year-old male showed that ERCP led to serious issues, including bleeding and perforation after the procedure.
- The findings suggest that performing procedures like ERCP before surgery might negatively impact patient outcomes.
Article Abstract
The role of preoperative endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in ampullary carcinomas is under debate due to potential associated complications. We report the case of a 59-year-old male diagnosed with ampullary cancer, who had undergone ERCP that was followed by bleeding and perforation. We conclude that interventions before surgical resection, including ERCP, may compromise patient outcome.
