The anterior surface of the distal CBD is identified and incised longitudinally to access the common bile duct. ASGE classified 58 (8.6 %) additional patients as intermediate, none . Whenever possible, guidelines are based on the GRADE(Grading of Recommendation Assessment, Development and Evaluation) methodology. The stent is deployed across the ampulla such that the internal flap is within the common bile duct and the external flap is within the duodenum. Although studies show EDGE to be safe and effective, there are concerns regarding persistent gastrogastric fistula and weight gain following stent removal in which it is recommended that either an upper endoscopy or upper GI series be obtained in all patients post-stent removal to determine the presence of persistent fistula. These range from recommendations on testing and screenings to the role of endoscopy in managing certain diagnoses to sedation and anesthesia to adverse events and quality indicators.

Choledocholithiasis is a common presentation of symptomatic cholelithiasis that can result in biliary obstruction, cholangitis, and pancreatitis. Quality documents define the indicators of high-quality endoscopy and how to measure it. The three main surgical options for re-establishing biliary drainage include choledochoduodenostomy, hepaticojejunostomy or transduodenal sphincteroplasty, which should be further pursued with involvement of a hepatopancreatobiliary surgeon [25].

ASGE strives to provide clinically relevant and practical recommendations, which can help standardize patient care and improve outcomes. 2007;102:17811788. If the diagnosis of choledocholithiasis is confirmed pre-operatively, there are options of clearance of the CBD which include endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) prior to cholecystectomy or common bile duct exploration combined with cholecystectomy which is described in the next section. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided biliary drainage via choledochoduodenostomy is also another documented method of accessing the common bile duct in which the common bile duct is directly punctured via a transduodenal approach to both clear and stent the common bile duct but this does require advanced endoscopic expertise [27]. 0000007249 00000 n (ASGE). Predicting common bile duct stones: Comparison of SAGES, ASGE and ESGE criteria for accuracy. Nevertheless, laparoscopic common bile duct exploration has not been adopted widely as it is technically challenging and strongly dependent on surgeon experience and equipment availability [19]. For the laparoscopic transcystic approach, a transverse opening is made in the cystic duct prior to its transection. Surg Endosc. Gastrointest Endosc.

Either a temporary external drain, an internal/external biliary drain or an internal stent can be used to achieve biliary drainage (Fig. The revised categorization had a lower sensitivity and higher specificity of 37% and 80%, respectively.

If present, argon plasma coagulation and over-the-scope clip placement or revisional surgery with gastrogastric fistula takedown may be required for fistula closure [36]. However, the timely availability of alternative imaging and patient morbidity may drive diagnostic and therapeutic pathways in individual patients and environments. Alternatively, a flexible guidewire can be placed intraoperatively across the ampulla to allow for concomitant ERCP via a single-stage laparoscopic-endoscopic rendez-vous procedure as described earlier. A variety of recommendations have been proposed for predicting choledocholithiasis based upon presenting signs, symptoms, initial laboratory studies, and imaging. 0000011146 00000 n An official website of the United States government.

In addition, laparoscopic common bile duct (CBD) exploration with cholecystectomy reduces utilization of ERCP and long-term rates of CBD stone recurrence compared to endoscopic management with ERCP and sphincterotomy alone [2].
