Abstract
ESPINEL, Jesús; PINEDO, María Eugenia; OJEDA, Vanesa and GUERRA-DEL-RIO, María. Laparoscopic transgastric ERCP in bariatric surgery patients: our experience. Rev. esp. enferm. dig. [online]. 2017, vol.109, n.7, pp.530-533. ISSN 1130-0108. https://dx.doi.org/10.17235/reed.2017.4933/2017.
Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) is the surgical treatment of choice for morbid obesity. Several therapeutic options to remove common bile duct (CBD) stones have been proposed in these patients. Laparoscopy-assisted transgastric ERCP (LATERCP) has a high success rate. However, the procedure is not fully standardized and some technical variations have been proposed. We introduce two cases in which laparoscopic transgastric ERCP has been used to treat choledocholithiasis after LRYGB.
