J Clin Med 2024; 14:1. [PMID: 39797084 PMCID: PMC11720675 DOI: 10.3390/jcm14010001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2024] [Revised: 12/07/2024] [Accepted: 12/16/2024] [Indexed: 01/13/2025] Open
Abstract
Background/Objectives: Perforations represent rare but serious complications in ERCP. Although several therapeutic algorithms have been proposed to properly address these potentially life-threatening events, there is still no clear consensus on their management. We conducted a single-center retrospective study in order to assess the incidence of ERCP-related perforations and their management, as well as clinical outcomes. Methods: The hospital's electronic database was searched in order to identify all the patients who developed ERCP-related perforations in the period 1 October 2018-30 June 2023. Perforations were classified according to the Stapfer classification. Conservative management included frequent abdominal examinations, the monitoring of vital signs, white blood cell count, complete bowel rest, nasogastric tube placement, and the administration of intravenous fluids and antibiotics. Endoscopic management included biliary stent placement and/or closing observed defects with clips. Results: We recorded eight (1.29%) cases of ERCP-related perforations out of the 619 procedures conducted. We observed six (75%) Stapfer type II and two (25%) type IV perforations. In all but one patient (87.5%), the indication for ERCP was bile duct stones. Seven patients (87.5%) were subjected to sphincterotomy (87.5%) and three (37.5%) to "pre-cuts". All but one patient was treated conservatively (87.5%), with two of them-in which type II perforations were recognized intraprocedurally-also receiving endoscopic treatment with stent placement. On the day of ERCP, one patient with a type II perforation was operated on; suturing of the duodenum followed by duodenal exclusion was applied. Management was successful in all the patients, with a mean hospitalization time of 16.6 ± 4.78 days. Conclusions: Conservative and endoscopic management appear to be associated with good outcomes in Stapfer type II perforations. Nevertheless, an individual multidisciplinary approach involving endoscopists and a hepatobiliary surgeon is essential in order to properly guide the treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP), post-sphincterotomy bleeding (PSB), and Post-ERCP perforation are the most common complications of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Identification of risk factors for post-ERCP complications is critical for postoperative follow-up. This study aimed to evaluate the most common post-ERCP complication risk factors in an experienced center. METHODS/DESIGN The sample consisted of 1288 patients with naive papillae. Demographic characteristics, patient-related risk factors, procedure-related risk factors and postoperative complications were recorded. RESULTS Patients had a mean age of 61.5±18.4 years. The prevalence of PEP, PSB, and post-ERCP perforation was 7.9%, 11.9%, and 0.5%, respectively. Among patient-related factors, female sex (OR 1.672 95% Cl 1.046 to 2.672) and narrowing of the choledochal diameter (OR 2.910 95% Cl 1.830 to 4.626) were associated with PEP. From procedure-related factors; precut sphincterotomy (OR 2.172 95% Cl 1.182 to 3.994), difficult cannulation (OR 5.110 95% Cl 2.731 to 9.560), pancreatic cannulation (OR 5.692 95% Cl 0.994 to 32.602) and postprocedure residual stone (OR 2.252 95% Cl 1.403 to 3.614) were found to be associated with PEP. The successful procedure (OR 0.378 95% Cl 0.204 to 0.699) had a protective effect on PEP. Choledocholithiasis indication (OR 3.594 95% Cl 1.444 to 8.942) and small papilla (OR 2.042 95% Cl 1.170 to 3.562) were associated with the development of PSB. Choledochal stenosis, periampullary-diverticulum, oral anticoagulant, and oral antiaggregant use were not associated with the development of PSB. Of the patients with post-ERCP perforation, 85.7% had difficult cannulation, 57.1% had precut sphincterotomy, and 28.6% had periampullary-diverticulum. CONCLUSION Female sex, biliary stricture, precut sphincterotomy, difficult cannulation, pancreatic cannulation, and postoperative residual stone were associated with PEP. Choledocholithiasis indication and the presence of small papilla were associated with PSB.

Abstract
Duodenal injury under endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is extremely rare. This study describes a case of duodenum perforation after biliary stenting under ERCP for the first time. A 67-year-old female patient was transferred to the emergency department of First Hospital of China Medical University after experiencing whole abdominal pain for 6 hours. The patient had received a biliary stent placement under ERCP at an outer hospital 6 days previously due to duodenal papillary occupy. During the operation, a small perforation caused by a biliary stent was found at the lateral side of the duodenum, but no biliary stent was found. Duodenal juice was flowing out from the perforation, Then, the perforation was opened obliquely, and an 8-cm portion of the biliary stent was removed. Gastrostomy, jejunostomy, and choledochotomy T-tube drainage procedures were subsequently performed. The patient recovered well and was discharged with the T-tube and the jejunal nutrition tube after 20 days. Four types of perforation under ERCP have been reported in previous literature, and this case report documents a rare complication from biliary stenting under ERCP. This case is different from the previous four types and can be called type V, which give general endoscopic doctors a serious warning.

Abstract
1: ESGE recommends that each center implements a written policy regarding the management of iatrogenic perforations, including the definition of procedures that carry a higher risk of this complication. This policy should be shared with the radiologists and surgeons at each center. 2 : ESGE recommends that in the case of an endoscopically identified perforation, the endoscopist reports its size and location, with an image, and statement of the endoscopic treatment that has been applied. 3: ESGE recommends that symptoms or signs suggestive of iatrogenic perforation after an endoscopic procedure should be rapidly and carefully evaluated and documented with a computed tomography (CT) scan. 4 : ESGE recommends that endoscopic closure should be considered depending on the type of the iatrogenic perforation, its size, and the endoscopist expertise available at the center. Switch to carbon dioxide (CO2) endoscopic insufflation, diversion of digestive luminal content, and decompression of tension pneumoperitoneum or pneumothorax should also be performed. 5 : ESGE recommends that after endoscopic closure of an iatrogenic perforation, further management should be based on the estimated success of the endoscopic closure and on the general clinical condition of the patient. In the case of no or failed endoscopic closure of an iatrogenic perforation, and in patients whose clinical condition is deteriorating, hospitalization and surgical consultation are recommended.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)-related perforations occur in 0.3-0.6% of patients. The treatment of retroperitoneal paravaterian perforations (type II), which develop during endoscopic sphincterotomy or precut sphincterotomy, remains a matter of debate. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of fully covered self expandable metal stent (Fc-SEMS) placement in the treatment of type II perforations. METHODS The study was conducted in a tertiary ERCP reference center of Turkey between December 2013 and June 2016. Patients with type II ERCP-related perforation constituted the study group. Type II perforations were treated by insertion of an Fc-SEMS (10 mm × 60 mm) during the ERCP procedure or intraoperatively by surgery-endoscopy rendezvous technique, if biliary cannulation could not be achieved. RESULTS A total of 2689 ERCPs were performed. ERCP-related perforation was observed in 12 procedures (0.4%). Eight patients had Stapfer type II perforations, which developed during endoscopic sphincterotomy in seven patients and precut sphincterotomy in one patient. Fc-SEMSs were inserted during the ERCP procedure in seven patients and intraoperatively by surgery-endoscopy rendezvous technique in one patient. None of the patients developed fever, hemodynamic instability, or peritoneal signs. Stents were removed after a median duration of 9 (3-14) days. All of the patients were uneventfully discharged after an average hospital length of stay of median 5 (1-9) days. CONCLUSION Fc-SEMSs are highly effective in the nonoperative treatment of type II perforations and their intraoperative insertion in patients with unsuccessful cannulation may facilitate surgery by eliminating the need for duodenum repair surgery.

Abstract
Introducción. La colangiopancreatografía retrógrada endoscópica es la herramienta de elección para el manejo de una gran cantidad de enfermedades pancreáticas y biliares. Al ser un procedimiento invasivo, trae consigo riesgos que aumentan la morbimortalidad en los pacientes en quienes se practica. El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar las complicaciones más prevalentes relacionadas con el procedimiento, de los pacientes de una institución de tercer nivel de Medellín entre los años 2014 y 2017.
Métodos. Se presenta un estudio observacional, retrospectivo y analítico. Se analizaron las historias clínicas de los pacientes sometidos a colangiopancreatografía retrógrada endoscópica con diagnóstico de enfermedades biliares y pancreáticas. La información fue analizada usando estadística descriptiva e inferencial, mediante análisis univariado y multivariado, y se calculó la razón de momios (odds ratio, OR) con un intervalo de confianza del 95 %; se tomó como significativo un valor de p inferior a 0,25 en los análisis bivariados.
Resultados. En los 1.546 pacientes sometidos a colangiopancreatografía retrógrada endoscópica, la edad promedio fue de 57,6 ± 19.3 años y el 59,1 % eran mujeres. Las complicaciones identificadas fueron: pancreatitis en 57 pacientes (3,7 %), sangrado en 28 (1,8 %), perforación en 8 (0,5 %) y mortalidad no discriminada de 42 pacientes (2,7 %). Como factores de riesgo con significancia estadística, se encontraron la papilotomía y el contraste del conducto de Wirsung (OR=3 y OR=3,55, respectivamente).
Discusión. Los resultados obtenidos se encuentran en concordancia con los de la literatura mundial, con tasas de complicaciones y mortalidad similares. Por otra parte, el perfil sociodemográfico de la población de estudio difiere de las cifras internacionales, con predominancia de la enfermedad estudiada en edades mayores y con mayor cantidad de comorbilidades.

Abstract
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a well-known procedure with both diagnostic and therapeutic utilities in managing pancreaticobiliary conditions. With the advancements of endoscopic techniques, ERCP has become a relatively safe and effective procedure. However, as ERCP is increasingly being utilized for different advanced techniques, newer complications have been noticed. Post-ERCP complications are known, and mostly include pancreatitis, infection, hemorrhage, and perforation. The risks of these complications vary depending on several factors, such as patient selection, endoscopist's skills, and the difficulties involved during the procedure. This review discusses post-ERCP complications and management strategies with new and evolving concepts.

Abstract
Background Perforations related to endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) are rare but feared adverse events with highly reported morbidity and mortality rates. The aim was to evaluate the incidence and outcome of ERCP-related perforations and to identify risk factors for death due to perforations in a population-based study. Methods Between May 2005 and December 2013, a total of 52,140 ERCPs were registered in GallRiks, a Swedish nationwide, population-based registry. A total of 376 (0.72%) were registered as perforations or extravasation of contrast during ERCP or as perforation in the 30-day follow-up. The patients with perforation were divided into fatal and non-fatal groups and analyzed for mortality risk factors. The case volume of centers and endoscopists were divided into the upper quartile (Q4) and the lower three quartile (Q1–3) groups. Furthermore, fatal group patients’ records were reviewed. Results Death within 90 days after ERCP-related perforations or at the index hospitalization occurred in 20% (75 out of 376) for all perforations and 0.1% (75 out of 52,140) for all ERCPs. The independent risk factors for death after perforation were malignancy (OR 11.2, 95% CI 5.8–21.6), age over 80 years (OR 3.8, 95% CI 2.0–7.4), and sphincterotomy in the pancreatic duct (OR 2.8, 95% CI 1.1–7.5). In Q4 centers, the mortality was similar with or without pancreatic duct sphincterotomy (14% vs. 13%, p = 1.0), but in Q1–3 centers mortality was higher (45% vs. 21%, p = 0.024). Conclusions ERCP-related perforations are severe adverse events with low incidence (0.7%) and high mortality rate up to 20%. Malignancy, age over 80 years, and sphincterotomy in the pancreatic duct increase the risk to die after a perforation. The risk of a fatal outcome in perforations after pancreatic duct sphincterotomy was reduced when occurred at a Q4-center. In the case of a complicated perforation a transfer to a Q4-center may be considered.

Abstract
This study aimed to assess the efficacy of double-lumen irrigation-suction tube (DLIST) in treating severe intra-abdominal infection (SIAI) induced by endoscopic sphincterotomy–related perforation (EST-rP). We enrolled 34 consecutive patients who had been transferred to our hospital with SIAI induced by EST-rP from January 2000 to June 2018. Then they were assigned into two groups based on whether or not rescue surgery had been performed: failed nonoperative treatment group (n = 9) and failed rescue surgery treatment group (n = 25). All 34 patients received DLIST for positive draining by surgery in our hospital. Data collection included demographics, indication for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, time to rescue surgery, surgical procedure, surgical success rate, complications, hospital stay, and postoperative outcome. The research enrolled 34 patients (ages 27–79 years, mean of 57.8 ± 12.1 years). There were no significant differences in age and gender between two groups ( P > 0.05). After being admitted, they were diagnosed with sepsis induced by SIAI (Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score range of 2–6, mean of 3.6 ± 0.95). The time from endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography to rescue surgery was 12 to 336 hours (mean of 73.7 ± 72.2 hours); overall hospital stay was 15 to 405 (mean of 127.5 ± 81.5) days. The hospital stay was significantly longer in the failed rescue surgery group than that of the failed nonoperative treatment group ( P < 0.05). The overall mortality rate was 11.8 per cent (4/34). The mortality rate was 16 per cent (4/25) and 0 per cent (0/9), respectively. As a modified suction technology, DLIST placement can effectively treat SIAI induced by EST-rP and lower the mortality rate of rescue surgery treatment.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The incidence of duodenal perforation after ERCP ranges from 0.09% to 1.67% and mortality up to 8%. METHODS This systematic review was registered in Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews, PROSPERO. Stapfer classification of ERCP-related duodenal perforations was used. RESULTS The systematic search yielded 259 articles. Most frequent post-ERCP perforation was Stapfer type II (58.4%), type I second most frequent perforation (17.8%) followed by Stapfer type III in 13.2% and type IV in 10.6%. Rate of NOM was lowest in Stapfer type I perforations (13%), moderate in type III lesions (58.1%) and high in other types of perforations (84.2% in type II and 84.6% in IV). In patients underwent early surgical treatment (<24 h from ERCP) the most frequent operation was simple duodenal suture with or without omentopexy (93.7%). In patients undergoing late surgical treatment (>24 h from ERCP) interventions performed were more complex. In type I lesions post-operative mortality rate was higher in patients underwent late operation (>24 h). In type I lesions, failure of NOM occurred in 42.8% of patients. In type II failure of NOM occurred in 28.9% of patients and in type III there was failure of NOM in only 11.1%, none in type IV. Postoperative mortality after NOM failure was 75% in type I, 22.5% in type II and none died after surgical treatment for failure of NOM in type III perforations. CONCLUSIONS This systematic review showed that in patients with Stapfer type I lesions, early surgical treatment gives better results, however the opposite seems true in Stapfer III and IV lesions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography-induced perforation (EP) is a rare but severe complication. We describe the risk factors, management, and outcome of ERCP-induced perforations in a tertiary center. METHODS This is a case-control study. All EP cases between March 2004 and February 2015 were compared to a control group without perforation. Data on patients, procedures, presentation, perforation type, radiologic findings, management, and outcome were assessed. RESULTS Of 6,934 endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatographies, 37 patients (0.53%) had EP. Independent risk factors included failure of cannulation, a procedure described as "difficult," performing a precut and resection of a periampullary adenoma. Perforation was diagnosed during the procedure in 7 patients (19%). Median interval for diagnosis was 11 hours (range: 0-201 hours), with 84% diagnosed within 30 hours. The periampullary region was the most common EP site (51%). Twenty-nine patients (78%) were managed conservatively and 8 (22%) were operated. Three patients failed conservative management and required delayed operation. Failure of conservative management had a detrimental effect on morbidity and duration of stay. All patients who required operative intervention had perforation of either the duodenal free wall or the periampullary region. CONCLUSION Clear risk factors can be used to raise suspicion of EP. Early diagnosis and management are critical for better outcome. This is especially important when operative intervention is indicated. Nonetheless, the majority of patients may be managed conservatively.

Abstract
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) has become an important therapeutic modality for biliary and pancreatic disorders. Perforation is one of the most feared complications of ERCP and endoscopic sphincterotomy. A MEDLINE search was performed from 2000-2014 using the keywords “perforation”, “ERCP” and “endoscopic sphincterotomy”. All articles including more than nine cases were reviewed. The incidence of ERCP-related perforations was low (0.39%, 95%CI: 0.34-0.69) with an associated mortality of 7.8% (95%CI: 3.80-13.07). Endoscopic sphincterotomy was responsible for 41% of perforations, insertion and manipulations of the endoscope for 26%, guidewires for 15%, dilation of strictures for 3%, other instruments for 4%, stent insertion or migration for 2% and in 7% of cases the etiology was unknown. The diagnosis was made during ERCP in 73% of cases. The mechanism, site and extent of injury, suggested by clinical and radiographic findings, should guide towards operative or non-operative management. In type I perforations early surgical repair is indicated, unless endoscopic closure can be achieved. Patients with type II perforations should be treated initially non-operatively. Non-operative treatment includes biliary stenting, fasting, intravenous fluid resuscitation, nasogastric drainage, broad spectrum antibiotics, percutaneous drainage of fluid collections. Non-operative treatment was successful in 79% of patients with type II injuries, with an overall mortality of 9.4%. Non-operative treatment was sufficient in all patients with type III injuries. Surgical technique depends on timing, site and size of defect and clinical condition of the patient. In conclusion, diagnosis is based on clinical suspicion and clinical and radiographic findings. Whilst surgery is usually indicated in patients with type I injuries, patients with type II or III injuries should be treated initially non-operatively. A minority of them will finally require surgical intervention.

Abstract
Background ERCP has a complication rate ranging between 4% and 16% such as post-ERCP pancreatitis, hemorrhage, cholangitis and perforation. Perforation rate was reported as 0.08% to 1% and mortality rate up to 1.5%. Besides, injury related death rate is 16% to 18%. In this study we aimed to present a retrospective review of our experience with post ERCP-related perforations, reveal the type of injuries and management recommendations with the minimally invasive approaches. Methods Medical records of 28 patients treated for ERCP-related perforations in Okmeydani Training and Research Hospital between March 2007 and March 2013 were reviewed retrospectively. Patient age, gender, comorbidities, ERCP indication, ERCP findings and details were analyzed. All previous and current clinical history, laboratory and radiological findings were used to assess the evaluation of perforations. Results Between March 2007 and March 2013, 2972 ERCPs were performed, 28 (0.94%) of which resulted in ERCP-related perforations. 10 of them were men (35.8%) and 18 women (64.2%). Mean age was 53.36±14.12 years with a range of 28 to 78 years. 14 (50%) patients were managed conservatively, while 14 (50%) were managed surgically. In 6 patients, laparoscopic exploration was performed due to the failure of non-surgical management. In 6 of the patients that ERCP-related perforation was suspected during or within 2 hours after ERCP, underwent to surgery primarily. There were two mortalities. The mean length of hospitalization stay was 10.46±2.83 days. The overall mortality rate was 7.1%. Conclusion Successful management of ERCP-related perforation requires immediate diagnosis and early decision to decide whether to manage conservatively or surgically. Although traditionally conventional surgical approaches have been suggested for the treatment of perforations, laparoscopic techniques may be used in well-chosen cases especially in type II, III and IV perforations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Duodenal perforation is an uncommon complication of endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography (ERCP) and a rare complication of upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. Most are minor perforations that settle with conservative management. A few perforations however result in life-threatening retroperitoneal necrosis and require surgical intervention. There is a relative paucity of references specifically describing the surgical interventions required for this eventuality. METHODS Five cases of iatrogenic duodenal perforation were ascertained between 2002 and 2007 at Cairns Base Hospital. Clinical features were analyzed and compared, with reference to a review of ERCP at that institution for the years 2005/2006. RESULTS One patient recovered with conservative management. Of the other four, one died after initial laparotomy. The other three survived, undergoing multiple procedures and long inpatient stays. CONCLUSIONS Iatrogenic duodenal perforation with retroperitoneal necrosis is an uncommon complication of endoscopy, but when it does occur it is potentially life-threatening. Early recognition may lead to a better outcome through earlier intervention, although a protracted course with multiple procedures should be anticipated. A number of surgical techniques may need to be employed according to the individual circumstances of the case.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Perforation after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is uncommon, and its management is dependent on the mechanism and the graded classification of injury. METHODS Records of patients undergoing ERCP were analyzed over a 16-year period, patterning the types of injuries, diagnosis, management, and patient outcome. Type I injuries damage the medial or lateral duodenal wall before sphincter cannulation. Type II injuries are periampullary and occur as a result of a precut or a papillotomy. Type III injuries occur secondary to guidewire insertion or stone extraction from the common bile duct. Type IV injuries are probably microperforations that are noted on excessive insufflation during and after ERCP withdrawal. RESULTS Between 1995 and 2011, 27 perforations were identified from 1,638 ERCP procedures (1.6%). Nearly half of the procedures were regarded as difficult by the endoscopist, with 70% of the ERCPs (19 of 27) being for therapeutic indications. There were 5 type I, 12 type II, 5 type III, and 5 type IV perforations, of which 18 cases were diagnosed at the time of ERCP. Delayed diagnosis of type I perforations that were associated with free intraperitoneal air and contrast leakage proved fatal. Most type II perforations required immediate surgery with pyloric exclusion; delayed surgery with simple drainage had a high mortality rate. Most type III and type IV injuries can successfully be managed conservatively without delayed sepsis. CONCLUSIONS In perforation, the mechanism of injury during ERCP predicts the need for surgical management. Type I and type II injuries require early diagnosis and aggressive surgery, whereas type III and type IV injuries may be managed conservatively.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The management of post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) perforation is often unknown by many physicians, and there is a paucity of literature regarding the best surgical management approach. PATIENTS AND METHODS A retrospective review of ERCP-related perforations to the duodeno-pancreato-biliary tract observed at the Digestive Surgery Department of the Catholic University of Rome was conducted to identify their optimal management and clinical outcome. RESULTS From January 1999 to December 2011, 30 perforations after ERCP were observed. Seven patients underwent ERCP at another institution, and 23 patients underwent an endoscopic procedure at our hospital. Diagnosis of perforation was both clinical and instrumental. Fifteen patients (50 %) were successfully treated conservatively. Fifteen patients (50 %) underwent surgery after a mean time of 8.1 days (range 1-26 days) from ERCP: ten received a retroperitoneal laparostomy approach, three of them both an anterior and posterior laparostomy approach, and two an anterior laparostomy approach. Duodenal leak closure was observed after a mean (± standard deviation, SD) of 12.6 (± 4.6) and 24.6 (± 7.9) days after conservative and surgical treatment, respectively (p < 0.001). The overall and postoperative mortality rates were 13.3 % (4 of 30 patients) and 26.6 % (4 of 15 patients), respectively. CONCLUSIONS Post-ERCP perforation is burdened by a high risk of mortality. Early clinical and radiographic features have to be used to determine which type of surgical or conservative treatment is indicated. Half of patients can be treated conservatively, but in case of sepsis or unstable general conditions, early surgical procedure is indicated as the only possible chance of recovery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The most important criterion in the management of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)-related perforations is the delineation of the injury pattern. The aim of the present study was to evaluate in a retrospective manner the patients who undergo surgery due to ERCP-related perforations. PATIENTS AND METHODS Between January 2006 and December 2010, a total of 9209 ERCPs were performed at Turkiye Yuksek Ihtisas Teaching and Research Hospital, Ankara, Turkey. From these, perforation was diagnosed in 52 patients (0.56%). Twenty-four patients (46.2%) underwent surgery. Patients were evaluated according to age, gender, ERCP indication, comorbid disease, the time between diagnosis and perforation, the time between ERCP and surgical intervention, radiological and clinical signs, localization of the perforation, surgical procedure, hospitalization period, and postoperative outcome. RESULTS Twenty-four patients underwent surgery. Thirteen patients (54.1%) had lateral duodenal wall perforation, 4 patients (16.7%) had perforation in the afferent loop (these patients had Billroth-II gastroenterostomy at ERCP admission), 2 patients (8.3%) had bile duct perforation, and 1 patient (4.1%) had esophageal perforation. In 4 patients (16.7%), the localization of the perforation could not be found. Nine patients (37.5%) died in the postoperative period. Six patients had lateral duodenal wall perforation, 2 patients had afferent loop perforation, and one patient had esophagus perforation. Three patients died of nonsurgical reasons (myocardial infarction, serebrovascular occlusion, and cardiac dysrhythmia). CONCLUSIONS Duodenal wall perforations have a serious fatal outcome even if early surgical intervention is performed. In contrast to duodenal wall injuries, perivaterian and choledochal injuries have a better outcome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The management of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)-related perforations remains controversial. Τhe aim of the study was to determine the incidence of perforations following ERCP, their characteristics, operative and non-operative management options and clinical outcome. METHODS A retrospective review of ERCP-related perforations, during a 21-year period, was performed. Each perforation was categorized into types I to IV according to the location, mechanism and radiographic evaluation of the injury. Comparisons were made between patients treated operatively and non-operatively. RESULTS Forty-four perforations (0.4%) occurred in 9,880 procedures. They were mainly caused by the passage of the endoscope (type I) in 7 (16%) and sphincterotomy (type II) in 30 (68%) patients. The management was non-operative in 32 (72%) and operative in 12 patients. In multivariate analysis, only the type of perforation (type I: endoscope-related) was found significant for predicting operative treatment. The hospital stay was longer for patients requiring an operation (median, 24 vs 9 days). The overall mortality was 2/44 (4.5%). There was no death in the non-operative group. CONCLUSIONS The need for immediate operative intervention should be based on the type of injury and clinical findings. Patients with type I perforations should be treated surgically and primary repair should be tried. Patients with type II injuries may be treated initially non-operatively. Delayed operative intervention will be required in a minority of these patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE Post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) perforation usually resolves conservatively; however, intervention is sometimes needed, and there is a paucity of literature regarding the best management approach. We evaluated our experience of managing post-ERCP perforations to help define the role of surgery with percutaneous drainage (PCD). METHODS A retrospective chart review revealed 14 cases of post-ERCP perforation with intra-abdominal sepsis referred for intervention. We analyzed data pertaining to clinical details, management, and outcome. RESULTS There were 12 patients with duodenal perforation and 2 with biliary perforation. Most (10/14; 72%) had symptom onset within 48 h, but delayed diagnosis or referral resulted in a mean delay until intervention of 6.6 days (range 1-18 days). Computed tomography revealed localized collections in 9 (64%) patients. Seven patients with localized collections and no or minimal contrast leak underwent PCD and rest, and 7 underwent surgery. The indications for surgery were free perforation, generalized peritonitis, and major contrast leak. Overall morbidity was 50% and there was one early postoperative death, caused by severe sepsis. CONCLUSION There should be a high index of suspicion of perforation when abdominal signs and symptoms develop after ERCP. Computed tomography is the investigation of choice for diagnosis and guiding therapy. With judicious selection of surgery or PCD based on clinical and imaging features, patients can be managed with acceptable morbidity and low mortality.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to analyze clinicoradiologic findings and treatment outcomes of patients with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)-related perforations. Between May 2003 and November 2007, 2,247 ERCP procedures with or without sphincterotomy were performed at Ajou University Medical Center, Suwon, Korea, and 20 perforations (0.89%) were identified. DISCUSSION We retrospectively reviewed medical and surgical records of each patient. Of 18 patients, 11 patients (61.1%) underwent nonsurgical management, and seven patients (38.9%) received surgical management. There were no significant differences in age, gender, and laboratory findings between two groups (P > 0.05). The hospital stay was significantly longer in the operative group than that of the conservative group (P < 0.05, respectively). The most common cause of perforation was sphincterotomy (n = 8) in the conservative group whereas scope itself (n = 6) in operative group, showing a significant difference between the two groups (P < 0.05). The retroperitoneal air was most common findings in eight patients (72.7%) of the conservative group, while six (85.7%) patients of the operative group presented with intraperitoneal air, displaying a significant difference in location of air between the two groups (P < 0.05). Most of sphincterotomy-related perforations were managed nonsurgically. However, the scope-related perforations were usually large and required immediate surgery. Moreover, the delayed operation resulted in a longer hospital stay and high morbidity. Therefore, the selective early surgical intervention is suggested when scope-related perforations are discovered.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to summary the experiences and lessons from periduodenal perforations related to endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST). METHODS A retrospective review from 2004 to 2007 identified 9 patients (0.37%) of periduodenal perforation related to ERCP/EST. Charts were reviewed for the following parameters: clinical presentation of patients, ERCP findings, diagnostic methods, treatment (surgical or conservative procedures), complications, and outcome. RESULTS Nine patients who had periampullary perforations received ERCP/EST for common bile duct stones. Cannulation was considered difficult in 7 of 9 patients, and the precut technique was used. The diagnosis was made due to subcutaneous emphysema or peritonitis, and 3 patients received emergent operations (e.g., external biliary or retroperitoneal drainage), and 1 patient had a reoperation for a retroperitoneal sealed abscess. Their median length of hospital stay was 50 days. The other 6 were treated conservatively with nasal-duodenal and nasal-biliary drainage. Their median length of hospital stay was 13 days. There was no mortality. CONCLUSIONS The precut technical may be a risk factor of duodenal perforation. Early diagnosis of duodenal perforation is essential for an optimum outcome, and subcutaneous emphysema may be a sensitive sign. Although the management of perforation after ERCP/EST is still controversial, a selective management is proposed, based on the features of classification type. Nevertheless, duodenal and biliary drainage is essential in both surgical and conservative therapy.

Abstract
A 67-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital for surgical management of cancer of the ascending colon. On admission, she had cholangitis due to choledocholithiasis. Abdominal computed tomography, ultrasonography, and magnetic resonance showed cholelithiasis, choledocholithiasis, and multiple liver tumors. Colonoscope showed advanced cancer of the ascending colon. Because of acute obstructive suppurative cholangitis, endoscopic sphincterotomy was performed. During the procedure, periampullary retroperitoneal perforation was identified on radiologic examination. Because computed tomography had shown extravasation of contrast medium and widespread pneumoretroperitoneum, an emergency operation was performed 2 hours after perforation. After cholecystectomy and choledocholithotomy had been performed and all bile duct stones had been removed, periampullary perforation was readily identified close to the duodenal diverticula and easily repaired. The postoperative course was uneventful. This patient could resume oral feeding soon after the operation, and colonic surgery could be performed immediately thereafter. Therefore, early surgical management is a possible first choice of treatment in patients with remaining biliary disease after periampullary perforation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As the performance of upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, especially endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), has increased since 1968, so has the incidence of duodenal perforations. The frequency of ERCP use varies among hospitals and depends on the availability of trained endoscopists, equipment, and facilities. METHODS A retrospective review of ERCP-related perforations to the duodenum was conducted to identify their incidence, optimal management, and clinical outcome. Charts were reviewed for the following data: ERCP indication, clinical presentation, diagnostic methods, time to diagnosis and treatment, type of injury, management, length of hospital stay, and clinical outcome. RESULTS From April 1999 to February 2008, 4,358 ERCP were performed, 15 of which (0.34%) resulted in perforation to the duodenum. Only four of the perforations were discovered during ERCP, with another eight requiring computed tomography or abdominal radiography for diagnosis. Surgery was performed for 13 of the patients (87%), and 2 patients died (15%). One patient was managed conservatively with a successful outcome. Nine patients underwent surgery within 24 h after the ERCP, with only one patient undergoing surgery after 24 h. The overall mortality rate was 20% (3 of 15 patients). CONCLUSIONS Clinical and radiographic features can be used to determine the surgical or conservative treatment of ERCP-related duodenal perforations, whereas patient age and intraoperative findings can determine the final outcome and morbidity or mortality. The interval between the perforation and the operation is of great significance. The mortality rate increases dramatically with late surgical management (>24 h). An algorithm for the selective management of ERCP-induced duodenal perforations is proposed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Evidence-based strategies are lacking regarding the appropriate management of periampullary retroperitoneal perforations complicating endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) combined with endoscopic sphincterotomy (ES). We propose a transduodenal operative repair of periampullary retroperitoneal perforation. METHODS Six patients with duodenal periampullary perforation induced by endoscopic sphincterotomy underwent operation after failure of an attempt of conservative management. After mobilization of the second and the third part of the duodenum, a minimal transversal duodenotomy was carried out, the papilla was exposed, periampullary perforation was readily identified, and was sutured easily as a sphincteroplasty or by 2 or 3 Vicryl 3/0 sutures. Patient outcomes were measured. RESULTS Periampullary perforation was repaired as sphincteroplasty in 2 cases, and with Vicryl 3/0 sutures in 4 cases. The mean duration of operation was 176 minutes. There were no intraoperative complications. None of the patients required reoperation after transduodenal repair of the perforation. The patients had a normal postoperative course. The median hospital stay was 10.5 days (range, 9 to 20 days) and the mortality rate was nil. There were no delayed complications during a median follow-up of 60 months. CONCLUSIONS The transduodenal operative approach to periampullary perforation after ERCP/ES at an early stage in the clinical evolution of the perforation is a safe and effective procedure. We consider this approach a useful option for the treatment of periampullary perforation after ERCP/ES when initial endoscopic and conservative management do not yield good results within 24 hours.
