Endoscopic Approach via the Minor Papilla for the Treatment of Pancreatic Stones: Takahiro Nakazawa, Kazuki Hayashi, Itaru Naitoh, Fumihiro Okumura, Takashi Joh; Clin Endosc 2012;45(3):189-193. Published online August 22, 2012; DOI: https://doi.org/10.5946/ce.2012.45.3.189

Background/Aims

We aimed to evaluate whether the advanced techniques have influenced the minor papilla approach.

Methods

We studied the success rate of guide wire insertion by using ordinary techniques and advanced techniques (rendezvous method and precut method) in 30 patients via the minor papilla. We compared the selection of the access routes between before (52 patients) and after (28 patients) the introduction of the Soehendra stent retriever.

Results

In 19 out of 30 patients (63%), guide wire insertion via the minor papilla could be achieved by using ordinary techniques. In total, the guide wire could be inserted in 27 patients (90%) by using the advanced techniques. Before introduction of the Soehendra stent retriever, the major papilla approach was chosen in 38 cases (73%), and the minor papilla approach in 14 cases (27%). After introduction of the Soehendra stent retriever, the major papilla approach was used in 26 cases (93%) and the minor papilla in 2 cases (7%). The frequency of selecting the minor papilla approach has significantly decreased (p<0.05).

Conclusions

The advanced techniques have contributed to the improvement of endoscopic approaches via the minor papilla, and decreased the frequency of selecting the minor papilla approach.

Usefulness of Intraductal Ultrasonography in the Diagnosis of Cholangiocarcinoma and IgG4-Related Sclerosing Cholangitis: Takahiro Nakazawa, Itaru Naitoh, Kazuki Hayashi; Clin Endosc 2012;45(3):331-336. Published online August 22, 2012; DOI: https://doi.org/10.5946/ce.2012.45.3.331

Abstract PDF PubReader ePub

The technique of intraductal ultrasonography (IDUS) of the bile duct with a thin-caliber probe and a ropeway system has provided excellent images of the bile duct and periductal structures and is an easy transpapillary approach. In addition, once the guide wire is inserted into the bile duct, IDUS and transpapillary biopsy after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography can be performed in a single session. Here, we review the usefulness of IDUS in the diagnosis of cholangiocarcinoma and IgG4-related sclerosing cholangitis.
