Abstract
Pancreatobiliary endoscopic interventions using balloon-assisted endoscopes have been widely acknowledged as the first-line therapy for pancreatobiliary diseases in postoperative patients with reconstructed gastrointestinal anatomy (excluding the Billroth I procedure). However, there are many technical difficulties, and the procedural completion rates vary in a wide range among institutions, indicating the procedural technique is yet to be standardized. This article aims to provide technical tips of procedures and insights into the advanced aspects, including the management of extremely difficult cases and troubleshooting of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography using balloon endoscopy, along with a review of recent advancements in this field.

Abstract
Background and Aims: Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), in surgically altered anatomy (SAA), can be challenging and the optimal technique selection remains debatable. Most common foregut interventions resulting to this burden consist of Billroth II gastrectomy, Whipple surgery and Roux-en-Y anastomoses, including gastric by-pass. This systematic review, with meta-analysis, aimed to compare the rates of successful enteroscope-assisted (EA)-, endosonography-directed transgastric- (EDGE), and laparoscopy-assisted (LA)-ERCP. Methods: A systematic research (Medline) was performed for relative studies, through January 2022. The primary outcome was technical success, defined as approaching the ampulla site. Secondary outcomes included the desired duct cannulation, successful therapeutic manipulations, and complication rates. We performed meta-analyses of pooled data, and subgroup analysis considering the EA-ERCP subtypes (spiral-, double and single balloon-enteroscope). Pooled rates are reported as percentages with 95% Confidence Intervals (95%CIs). Results: Seventy-six studies were included (3569 procedures). Regarding primary outcome, EA-ERCP was the least effective [87.3% (95%CI: 85.3–89.4); I2: 91.0%], whereas EDGE and LA-ERCP succeeded in 97.9% (95%CI: 96.4–99.4; I2: 0%) and 99.1% (95%CI: 98.6–99.7; I2: 0%), respectively. Similarly, duct cannulation and therapeutic success rates were 74.7% (95%CI: 71.3–78.0; I2: 86.9%) and 69.1% (95%CI: 65.3–72.9; I2: 91.8%) after EA-ERCP, 98% (95%CI: 96.5–99.6; I2: 0%) and 97.9% (95%CI: 96.3–99.4) after EDGE, and 98.6% (95%CI: 97.9–99.2; I2: 0%) and 98.5% (95%CI: 97.8–99.2; I2: 0%) after LA-ERCP, respectively. The noticed high heterogeneity in EA-ERCP results probably reflects the larger number of included studies, the different enteroscopy modalities and the variety of surgical interventions. Comparisons revealed the superiority of LA-ERCP and EDGE over EA-ERCP (p ≤ 0.001) for all success-related outcomes, though LA-ERCP and EDGE were comparable (p ≥ 0.43). ERCP with spiral-enteroscope was inferior to balloon-enteroscope, while the type of the balloon-enteroscope did not affect the results. Most adverse events were recorded after LA-ERCP [15.1% (95%CI: 9.40–20.8); I2: 87.1%], and EDGE [13.1% (95%CI: 7.50–18.8); I2: 48.2%], significantly differing from EA-ERCP [5.7% (95%CI: 4.50–6.80); p ≤ 0.04; I2: 64.2%]. Conclusions: LA-ERCP and EDGE were associated with higher technical, cannulation, and therapeutic success compared to EA-ERCP, though accompanied with more adverse events.

Status of single-balloon enteroscopy-assisted endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography in patients with surgically altered anatomy: Systematic review and meta-analysis on biliary interventions. Dig Endosc 2021; 33:1034-1044. [PMID: 33073407 DOI: 10.1111/den.13878] [Citation(s) in RCA: 46] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2020] [Revised: 10/03/2020] [Accepted: 10/13/2020] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in patients with surgically altered anatomy is still challenging. Usefulness of single-balloon enteroscopy (SBE)-assisted ERCP has been increasingly reported. Short SBE is considered beneficial with a 152-cm working length and a 3.2-mm working channel. This has increased the variety of devices that can be used during ERCP procedures. The aim of this pooled analysis was to evaluate the efficacy of SBE-assisted ERCP in patients with surgically altered anatomy and elucidate the current status. METHODS This systematic review only involved biliary interventions which excluded pancreatic cases. Studies involving SBE-assisted ERCP in patients with Roux-en-Y gastrectomy, hepaticojejunostomy with Roux-en-Y, pancreaticoduodenectomy (Whipple or Child procedure), or Billroth II gastrectomy were analyzed. Enteroscopy, biliary cannulation, and procedural success were assessed by pooling data in a random-effect model, according to the degree of heterogeneity, to obtain a proportion with 95% confidence interval (CI). The outcomes observed for conventional and short SBE cases were also reported. RESULTS Overall, 1227 SBE-assisted ERCP procedures from 21 studies were included. The pooled enteroscopy, biliary cannulation, and procedural success rates were 86.6% (95% CI, 82.4-90.3%), 90% (95% CI, 87.1-92.5%), and 75.8% (95% CI, 71.0-80.3%), respectively. Adverse events occurred in 6.6% (95% CI, 5.3-8.2%) of the procedures. Although good outcomes were reported for short SBE-assisted ERCP, these should not be directly compared to the outcomes observed for conventional SBE, as they assume different backgrounds and include confounding variables. CONCLUSIONS Single-balloon enteroscopy-assisted ERCP in patients with surgically altered anatomy on biliary interventions is effective.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: Anatomical post-surgical alterations of the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract have always been challenging for performing diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy, especially when biliopancreatic diseases are involved. Esophagectomy, gastrectomy with various reconstructions and pancreaticoduodenectomy are among the most common surgeries causing upper GI tract alterations. Technological improvements and new methods have increased the endoscopic success rate in these patients, and the literature has been rapidly increasing over the past few years. The aim of this systematic review is to identify evidence on the available biliopancreatic endoscopic techniques performed in the altered post-surgical anatomy of upper GI tract. Materials and Methods: We performed a systematic search of PubMed, MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, and SCOPUS databases. Study-level variables extracted were the last name of the first author, publication year, study design, number of patients, type of post-surgical anatomical alteration, endoscopic technique, success rate and endoscopic-related adverse events. Results: Our primary search identified 221 titles, which was expanded with studies after the citation search. The final full-text review process identified 52 articles (31 retrospective studies, 8 prospective studies and 13 case reports). We found several different techniques developed over the years for biliopancreatic diseases in altered anatomy, in order to perform both endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). They included enteroscopy-assisted ERCP (double and single balloon enteroscopy-ERCP, spiral enteroscopy-ERCP) laparoscopic assisted ERCP, EUS-Directed transgastric ERCP, EUS-directed transgastric intervention, gastric access temporary for endoscopy, and percutaneous assisted trans prosthetic endoscopic therapy. The success rate was high (most of the techniques showed a success rate over 90%) and a low rate of adverse events were reported. Conclusions: We suggest the considerationof the novel techniques when approaching patients with altered anatomy who require biliopancreatic endoscopy, focusing on the surgery type, success rate and adverse events reported in the literature.

Abstract
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is an endoscopic modality established for diagnosis and treatment of pancreaticobiliary diseases. However ERCP in patients with surgically altered anatomy (SAA) has been difficult, and more invasive therapies have been primarily selected. The development of balloon assisted endoscopes (BAEs) innovatively facilitated ERCP in such patients. Recent advances of BAEs and other devices greatly contributed to increasing success of ERCP using BAEs (BAE-ERCP). Furthermore, interventions using Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS-intervention) have been reported to be useful for pancreaticobiliary diseases in patients with SAA, which provide more options for endoscopic therapies and are also expected as a rescue therapy for difficult cases of BAE-ERCP. In order to thoroughly complete endoscopic treatment for pancreaticobiliary diseases with SAA, it is important to standardize the BAE-ERCP procedures based on the features of respective endoscopes and to establish a strategy for endoscopic treatment which includes analysis of BAE-ERCP difficult cases and selection of cases for rescue therapy. In addition, it is essential to be acquainted with the characteristics of possible adverse events of the procedure and to be able to deal with them for safe accomplishment of endoscopic treatment.

Abstract
Background: Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for extraction of common bile duct (CBD) stones in patients with Roux-en-Y gastrectomy (RYG) remains technically challenging. Methods: Seventy-nine RYG patients (median 79 years old) underwent short-type double-balloon enteroscopy-assisted ERCP (sDBE-ERCP) for CBD stones at three referral hospitals from 2011–2020. We retrospectively investigated the treatment outcomes and potential factors affecting complete stone extraction. Results: The initial success rates of reaching the papilla of Vater, biliary cannulation, and biliary intervention, including complete stone extraction or biliary stent placement, were 92%, 81%, and 78%, respectively. Of 57 patients with attempted stone extraction, complete stone extraction was successful in 74% for the first session and ultimately in 88%. The adverse events rate was 5%. The multivariate analysis indicated that the largest CBD diameter ≥ 14 mm (odds ratio (OR), 0.04; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.01–0.58; p = 0.018) and retroflex position (OR, 6.43; 95% CI, 1.12–36.81; p = 0.037) were independent predictive factors affecting complete stone extraction achievement. Conclusions: Therapeutic sDBE-ERCP for CBD stones in a relatively elderly RYG cohort, was effective and safe. A larger CBD diameter negatively affected complete stone extraction, but using the retroflex position may be useful for achieving complete stone clearance.

Abstract
Success rates of balloon enteroscopy-assisted endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (BE-ERCP) for patients with a reconstructed intestinal tract after surgical procedures are unsatisfactory. We retrospectively investigated the factors associated with unsuccessful BE-ERCP. Ninety-one patients who had a reconstructed intestinal tract after gastrectomy or choledochojejunostomy were enrolled. Age, sex, operative method, malignancy, endoscope type, endoscopist’s skill, emergency procedure, and time required to reach the papilla/anastomosis were examined. The primary endpoints were the factors associated with unsuccessful BE-ERCP selective cannulation, while the secondary endpoints were the rate of reaching the papilla/anastomosis, causes of failure to reach the papilla/anastomosis, cannulation success rate, procedure success rate, and rate of adverse events. Younger age (odds ratio, 0.832; 95% CI, 0.706–0.982; p = 0.001) and Roux-en-Y partial gastrectomy (odds ratio, 54.9; 95% CI, 1.09–2763; p = 0.045) were associated with unsuccessful BE- ERCP. The rate of reaching the papilla/anastomosis was 92.3%, the success rate of biliary duct cannulation was 90.5%, procedure success rate was 78.0%, and the rate of adverse events was 5.6%. In conclusion, Roux-en-Y partial gastrectomy and younger age were associated with unsuccessful BE-ERCP. If BE-ERCP is extremely difficult to perform in such patients after Roux-en-Y partial gastrectomy, alternative procedures should be considered early.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Single-balloon enteroscopy-assisted endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (SBE-ERCP) has been increasingly performed for the treatment of malignant biliary obstruction (MBO) in patients with surgically altered anatomy (SAA), however evidence is scarce. Therefore, we conducted this study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS) placement using a short type SBE. METHODS We retrospectively examined consecutive patients with SAA who received initial SEMS for MBO at our institution between February 2016 and February 2019. We evaluated patient characteristics, technical and functional success rates, time to recurrent biliary obstruction (TRBO) and complications according to the location of the biliary stricture. RESULTS A total of 26 patients were included in this study. The primary tumor was gastric cancer in 12, pancreatic cancer in 6, cholangiocarcinoma in 6 and gallbladder cancer in 2. The biliary stricture site was distal bile duct in 14, hilar bile duct in 3 and hepaticojejunostomy (HJ) anastomosis in 9. Technical and functional success rates were 92 and 88%, respectively. TRBO, median survival time, overall rate of RBO and early complications were not different according to the stricture site (p=.36, .67, .67 and .12, respectively), whereas late complications were significantly different among the three groups (Distal vs. Hilar vs. HJ anastomosis; 0 vs. 67 vs. 22%, p<.05). Furthermore, stent patency was not different between fully covered and uncovered SEMS in distal MBO. CONCLUSIONS SEMS placement via SBE-ERCP was safe and effective for the management of MBO in patients with SAA, especially in distal MBO.

Abstract
In patients with Roux-en-Y (R-Y) anastomosis (including hepaticojejunostomy and R-Y gastric bypass) and Whipple operation, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) can be challenging. We retrospective analyses our experience with ERCP using balloon-assisted enteroscopy (BAE) (BAE-ERCP) in patients with R-Y anastomosis and Whipple operation.ERCP was performed in 15 patients (4 pancreaticoduodenectomy and 10cholangiojejunostomy and 1 Subtotal gastrectomy with R-Y reconstruction; age ranging from 4 to 63 years) with BAE. Double- and single-balloon enteroscopy was applied in 5 and 10 patients, respectively.Bile duct cannulation was successful in 13 of 15 cases (86.7%), including simple stenosis of the anastomotic stoma (n = 2), intrahepatic bile duct stones (n = 10), and pancreatic cancer (n = 1). Cannulation failed because the guidewire could not pass through the anastomotic stenosis in 1 patient and because the endoscope could not enter the acute angle of the anastomosis of the afferent limb in the other patient. Adverse events included jaundice (n = 1) and perforation (n = 1), which were successfully treated by conservative therapy.ERCP with BAE in patients with R-Y anastomosis and Whipple operation is safe and useful but has unique complications. The success rate is lower than that of conventional ERCP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recently, with the advent of more advanced devices and endoscopic techniques, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in Billroth II (B-II) patients has been increasingly performed. However, the procedures are difficult, and the techniques and strategies have not been defined. AIM To reveal the appropriate scope for ERCP in B-II patients. METHODS Sixty ERCP procedures were performed on B-II patients between June 2005 and May 2018 at Fukushima Medical University Hospital, and in 44 cases, this was the first ERCP procedure performed by esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGDS) or colonoscopy (CS) after B-II gastrectomy. These cases were divided into two groups: 17 cases of ERCP performed by EGDS (EGDS group) and 27 cases of ERCP performed by CS (CS group). The patient characteristics and ERCP procedures were compared between the EGDS and CS groups. RESULTS The procedural time was significantly shorter in the EGDS group than in the CS group [median (range): 60 (20-100) vs 90 (40-128) min, P value < 0.01]. CS was an independent factor of a longer ERCP procedural time according to the univariate and multivariate analyses (odds ratio: 3.97, 95%CI: 1.05-15.0, P value = 0.04). CONCLUSION Compared to CS, EGDS shortened the procedural time of ERCP in B-II patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Balloon dilation (BD) is a simple, effective procedure for postoperative benign bilioenteric strictures (BBESs). Factors associated with BBES recurrence after endoscopic BD have not been studied adequately. This study examined the outcomes and 1-year recurrence factors in patients with BBES who underwent endoscopic BD. METHODS Patients who underwent endoscopic BD as an initial treatment between April 2008 and March 2017 were retrospectively assessed. The median time to recurrence of BBES (RBBES) and recurrence factors were evaluated. RESULTS The study group comprised 55 patients (median age 72 years). The rate of RBBES was 52.7% (29/55), and the median time to RBBES was 2.78 years (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.17-4.40). RBBES was observed in 32.7% (18/55) within 1 year after endoscopic BD. The significant factors associated with recurrence within 1 year, revealed by multivariate analysis, were: postoperative bile leak (p = 0.001; hazard ratio [HR] 10.94; 95% CI 2.47-48.39); BBES onset within 6 months, postoperatively (p = 0.013; HR 6.18; 95% CI 1.46-26.21); no intrahepatic stones (p = 0.049; HR 3.05; 95% CI 1.01-9.22); and remaining balloon waist (p = 0.005; HR 5.71; 95% CI 1.69-19.31). The median time to RBBES was significantly shorter in patients with these recurrence factors (0.88 years vs. not reached, p = 0.004). Patients exhibiting at least two recurrence factors were significantly more likely to experience recurrence (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Endoscopic BD is effective for BBES, especially for patients with no recurrence factors. Consideration of endoscopic BD and additional treatment may be necessary for patients with recurrence factors.

Abstract
AIM To analyze factors involved in procedural failure and to discuss responses to procedural failure by using the outcomes of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) carried out using a short-type single-balloon enteroscope (short SBE) in patients with surgically altered gastrointestinal anatomy. METHODS The study sample included patients who underwent ERCP-related procedures using a short SBE between September 2011 and September 2018 at our hospital. Outcomes, including procedural success rate, were studied retrospectively to analyze the factors involved in procedural failure. RESULTS Analysis included 191 procedures carried out in 121 patients. Procedural success rate was 85.9% with an adverse event rate of 8.4%. Causes of procedural failure included malignant biliary obstruction (odds ratio [OR] 2.89, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.19-7.25, P = 0.02), first ERCP attempt (OR: 5.32, 95% CI: 1.30-36.30, P = 0.02), and Roux-en-Y reconstruction (OR: 0.08, 95% CI: 0.004-0.39, P < 0.001). With regard to the response to failure, in cases of malignant biliary obstruction, reattempted short SBE-assisted ERCP was difficult because of invasion of the small intestine or papilla. A large number of these cases required alternative treatment (10 of 15 cases, 66.7%) using percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) or endoscopic ultrasound-guided biliary drainage (EUS-BD). CONCLUSION Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography using a short SBE is safe and effective, with malignant biliary obstruction being a specific cause of failure. Technical proficiency with different modalities, such as PTBD and EUS-BD, is necessary to respond to failure in these cases.

Abstract
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in patients with surgically altered anatomy must be performed by a highly experienced endoscopist. The challenges are accessing the afferent limb in different types of reconstruction, cannulating a papilla with a reverse orientation, and performing therapeutic interventions with uncommon endoscopic accessories. The development of endoscopic techniques has led to higher success rates in this group of patients. Device-assisted ERCP is the endoscopic procedure of choice for high success rates in short-limb reconstruction; however, these success rate is lower in long-limb reconstruction. ERCP assisted by endoscopic ultrasonography is now popular because it can be performed independent of the limb length; however, it must be performed by a highly experienced and skilled endoscopist. Stent deployment and small stone removal can be performed immediately after ERCP assisted by endoscopic ultrasonography, but the second session is needed for other difficult procedures such as cholangioscopy-guided electrohydraulic lithotripsy. Laparoscopic-assisted ERCP has an almost 100% success rate in long-limb reconstruction because of the use of a conventional side-view duodenoscope, which is compatible with standard accessories. This requires cooperation between the surgeon and endoscopist and is suitable in urgent situations requiring concomitant cholecystectomy. This review focuses on the advantages, disadvantages, and outcomes of various procedures that are suitable in different situations and reconstruction types. Emerging new techniques and their outcomes are also discussed.

Abstract
Background Failure factors in reaching the blind end (papillae of Vater, bilioenteric anastomosis) during short-type single-balloon enteroscope-assisted endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (sSBE-assisted ERCP) in patients with Roux-en-Y (R-Y) reconstruction remain to be evaluated. Aims We investigated the failure factors in such patients. Methods We retrospectively studied 253 initial sessions of sSBE-assisted ERCP at three endoscopy centers from April 2008 through September 2017, examining failure factors and complications associated with scope insertion in patients with R-Y reconstruction. Results R-Y reconstruction was performed in 157 patients (with gastrectomy: 122 patients; without gastrectomy plus bilioenteric anastomosis: 35 patients). R-Y without gastrectomy (p = 0.001; odds ratio (OR), 5.73; 95% confidence interval (CI), 2.07 to 16.01) and the presence of peritoneal dissemination (p = 0.021; OR, 4.71; 95% CI, 1.27 to 17.54) were significant failure factors. Insufficient sSBE length was the cause of failure in 17 (11%) of the 157 patients, and 13 (76%) of the 17 patients were with R-Y without gastrectomy. In cases of insufficient short-type length, using a long-type SBE significantly increased the success rate (p = 0.002). Gastrointestinal stenosis was a significant failure factor (p = 0.011) in patients with peritoneal dissemination. Perforation occurred in 2 patients who responded to conservative treatment. Conclusions Failure factors during sSBE-assisted ERCP were R-Y without gastrectomy and the presence of peritoneal dissemination.

Abstract
Background and aims In recent years, the short single-balloon enteroscope (SBE) has been used during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for patients with surgically altered anatomy and has been reported to be useful. However, difficulties remain, and the procedures and devices need improvements. We assessed the usefulness and superiority of a new short SBE equipped with passive bending and high-force transmission by comparisons with outcomes using the conventional short SBE. Methods This study evaluated short SBE-assisted ERCP-related procedures for Roux-en-Y gastrectomy between September 2011 and October 2017. Outcomes including the procedural success rate, which was the primary outcome, were assessed to compare the conventional short SBE (SIF-Y0004 [prototype]) and the new short SBE (SIF-H290S). Results Of 74 procedures performed in 61 patients, 51 procedures in 39 patients involved the SIF-Y0004, and 23 procedures in 22 patients involved the SIF-H290S. The procedural success rates were 70.6 % for SIF-Y0004, and 95.7 % for SIF-H290S, representing better results for the new short SBE ( P = 0.02). The new short SBE also had a superior diagnostic success rate ( P = 0.047) and median time to reach the blind end ( P < 0.001). Conclusions Roux-en-Y gastrectomy patients treated with the new short SBE had better outcomes than those treated with conventional short SBE. More cases need to be studied; however, the new short SBE has the potential to improve ERCP outcomes in patients with surgically altered anatomy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION With the advances in imaging and endoscopic technology, scope of endoscopic interventions in biliary obstruction associated with altered gastrointestinal (GI) anatomy has increased. We analyzed our experience on single-balloon enteroscopy and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided ERCP (SBE-ERCP) and EUS-guided hepatogastrostomy (EUS-HG) in the presence of altered GI anatomy. METHODS Data of 15 patients (SBE-ERCP in 12, and EUS-HG in 3) over a period of 1 year (April 2016-March 2017) and followed up for 90 to 270 days were retrospectively analyzed. Inclusion criteria were (a) age 18-80 years, (b) fit for anesthesia, (c) intact primary confluence, (d) failed percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) or difficult EUS-HG (due to poor visualization of intrahepatic ducts due to pneumobilia after PTBD; SBE-ERCP was undertaken in them), and (e) cholangitis without shock. Exclusion criteria were (a) involved or separated primary biliary confluence, (b) shock, (c) unfit for anesthesia, and (d) liver metastasis in the left lobe (EUS-HG). RESULTS All were symptomatic with pain, jaundice, and cholangitis. The median serum bilirubin and serum alkaline phosphatase (SAP) were 2.8 mg/dL and 273 IU/mL, respectively. SBE-ERCP in 12 and EUS-HG in 3 cases were done successfully with observed success rate of 91.6% and 100% (3/3), respectively. Three patients had minor complications (post-procedure pain, fever, and pneumoperitoneum), which were managed conservatively. CONCLUSION Endoscopic interventions in patients with altered GI anatomy are safe.

Efficacy and Long-Term Outcomes of Side-by-Side Self-Expandable Metal Stent Placement Using a 2-Channel Endoscope for Unresectable Malignant Hilar Biliary Obstruction Occurring After Billroth II Reconstruction (with Video). Dig Dis Sci 2018; 63:1641-1646.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Long-term studies evaluating self-expandable metal stents in patients who have unresectable malignant hilar biliary obstruction (UMHBO) after surgical reconstruction of the intestine remain inadequate. We developed a side-by-side (SBS) technique using a two-channel endoscope to place self-expandable metal stents in patients with UMHBO occurring after Billroth II reconstruction. AIMS We validated the long-term outcomes obtained with this technique. METHODS The study group comprised seven patients with UMHBO in whom we attempted to place metal stents by the SBS technique using a two-channel scope. The procedure was validated retrospectively. RESULTS The technical success rate was 86% and functional success rate was 100%. The median time to recurrent biliary obstruction (RBO) was 222 days (95% CI 4.9-439.1). Besides RBO, there were no other complications. CONCLUSIONS The SBS procedure performed using a two-channel scope is a safe and useful new technique for the treatment of UMHBO occurring after Billroth II reconstruction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The forward-viewing endoscope has been increasingly used to perform endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in patients who underwent Billroth II gastrectomy. This study intended to assess efficacy and safety of the forward-viewing endoscope for ERCP in Billroth II gastrectomy patients compared with conventional side-viewing endoscope using a systematic review and meta-analysis. METHODS A systematic review was conducted for studies that evaluated the outcomes of ERCP for patients with Billroth II gastrectomy. Random-effect model meta-analyses with subgroup analyses were conducted. The methodological quality of the included publications was evaluated using the risk of bias assessment tool for non-randomized studies. The publication bias was assessed. RESULTS In total, 25 studies (1 randomized, 18 retrospective, 1 prospective, and 5 case series studies) with 2446 patients (499 forward-viewing and 1947 side-viewing endoscopes) were analyzed. The pooled afferent loop intubation rate was higher with the forward-viewing endoscope (90.3%, 95% confidence interval (CI) 85.6-93.6 vs. 86.8%, 95% CI 82.8-89.9%). The pooled selective cannulation rate was higher with the side-viewing endoscope (92.3%, 95% CI 88.0-95.2 vs. 91.1%, 95% CI 87.2-93.9%). The pooled bowel perforation rate was higher with the side-viewing endoscope (3.6%, 95% CI 2.3-5.7 vs. 3.0%, 95% CI 1.7-5.3%). The pooled pancreatitis rate was higher with the forward-viewing endoscope (5.4%, 95% CI 3.6-8.0 vs. 2.5%, 95% CI 2.3-5.7%). The pooled bleeding rate was higher with the forward-viewing endoscope (3.0%, 95% CI 1.6-5.5 vs. 2.0%, 95% CI 1.4-3.0%). The heterogeneity among the studies was not significant. The publication bias was minimal. CONCLUSION This meta-analysis indicates that the forward-viewing endoscope is as safe and effective as conventional side-viewing endoscope for ERCP in patients with Billroth II gastrectomy.

Abstract
Pancreaticojejunostomy stricture (PJS) is a late complication of pancreaticoduodenectomy. The endoscopic treatment of PJS is very challenging due to the difficulty of locating the small anastomotic site and passing the stricture using a guidewire. We herein report two cases of severe PJS. These patients could not be treated using only double-balloon endoscopy or endoscopic ultrasound-guided puncture of the main pancreatic duct because of severe stenosis at the anastomotic site. However, we could treat them by the rendezvous technique using the rigid part of the guidewire to penetrate PJS. This method was useful and safe for treating severe PJS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Peroral cholangioscopic lithotripsy is a useful procedure in patients with a normal gastrointestinal anatomy who have difficult-to-treat stones. We evaluated the usefulness of peroral direct cholangioscopy (PDCS) using single-balloon enteroscope (SBE) in patients with difficult-to-treat stones who had undergone Roux-en-Y reconstruction. METHODS Among 118 patients (169 sessions) who underwent SBE-assisted endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography to treat biliary stones after Roux-en-Y reconstruction, patients in whom it was difficult to remove biliary stones via a transpapillary or transanastomotic approach and difficult to switch to ultra-slim endoscope, were retrospectively enrolled. The biliary insertion success rate, procedure success rate, procedure time, and procedural complications were assessed. The SBE was inserted into the bile-duct, first using a free-hand technique, second using a guide wire, and third using the large balloon anchoring and deflation (LBAD) technique. RESULTS A total of 11 patients (14 sessions) were enrolled in this study. The biliary insertion success rate was 100%. Bile-duct insertion was performed using a free-hand technique in 4 sessions, a guide wire in 3 sessions (rendezvous technique, 2 sessions), and the LBAD technique in 7 sessions. The procedure success rate was 86% in first session, and 100% in second session. The median procedure time was 81 min (range 49-137). The median procedure time in the bile-duct was 21.5 min (range 6-60). Mild pancreatitis occurred as a complication in one patient. The median follow-up was 528 days (range 282-764). No patient had stone recurrence. CONCLUSIONS PDCS using SBE is a useful procedure in patients with Roux-en-Y reconstruction. The LBAD technique is an useful technique of inserting SBE into the bile-duct.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM The utility of conventional short-type double-balloon endoscopy (DBE) for pancreatobiliary disease in patients with postoperative anatomy had been widely acknowledged and accepted. However, some technical difficulties yet remained. In an attempt to solve these problems, the new short-type DBE (N-short DBE) was uniquely designed for therapeutic endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERC) in postoperative patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of N-short DBE for ERC in postoperative patients. METHODS From August 2015 to April 2016, ERC using N-short DBE (DB-ERC) was performed in 100 postoperative patients (112 procedures). We retrospectively studied the success rate of reaching the blind end, the median time to reach the blind end, the diagnostic success rate, the therapeutic success rate, the median time to complete ERC-related interventions, the overall success rate, the median time to complete DB-ERC, and adverse events. RESULTS The success rate of reaching the blind end was 99.1%. The median time to reach the blind end was 10 min (interquartile range [IQR], 6-19 min). The diagnostic success rate was 98.2%. The therapeutic success rate was 100%. The median time to complete ERC-related interventions was 36 min (IQR, 22-62 min). The overall DB-ERC success rate was 97.3%. The median time to complete DB-ERC was 54 min (IQR, 37-73 min). The occurrence of adverse events was 2.7%. CONCLUSIONS The N-short DBE for ERC in postoperative patients is useful and safe. DB-ERC is promising therapeutic modality in such patients and should be selected as the first-line policy.

Abstract
Obesity is a growing problem in developed countries, and surgery is the most effective treatment in terms of weight loss and improving medical comorbidity in a high proportion of obese patients. Despite the advances in surgical techniques, some patients still develop acute and late postoperative complications, and an endoscopic evaluation is often required for diagnosis. Moreover, the high morbidity related to surgical reintervention, the important enhancement of endoscopic procedures and technological innovations introduced in endoscopic equipment have made the endoscopic approach a minimally-invasive alternative to surgery, and, in many cases, a suitable first-line treatment of bariatric surgery complications. There is now evidence in the literature supporting endoscopic management for some of these complications, such as gastrointestinal bleeding, stomal and marginal ulcers, stomal stenosis, leaks and fistulas or pancreatobiliary disorders. However, endoscopic treatment in this setting is not standardized, and there is no consensus on its optimal timing. In this article, we aim to analyze the secondary complications of the most expanded techniques of bariatric surgery with special emphasis on those where more solid evidence exists in favor of the endoscopic treatment. Based on a thorough review of the literature, we evaluated the performance and safety of different endoscopic options for every type of complication, highlighting the most recent innovations and including comparative data with surgical alternatives whenever feasible.

Abstract
Over the past 2 decades, it increasingly has been recognized that endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is the most predictable provocateur of acute pancreatitis, with an incidence of more than 15% in high-risk patients. For this reason, there has been considerable interest in the effect of periprocedural drug administration as well as different ERCP techniques on both the incidence and severity of post-ERCP pancreatitis. Although many agents and techniques have shown promise in small clinical studies, the majority of these have failed to yield consistent benefit in larger randomized patient groups. This review summarizes the data on medications and ERCP techniques that have been studied for the prevention of post-ERCP pancreatitis.

Abstract
Background Roux-en-Y reconstructive surgery excludes the biliopancreatic system from conventional endoscopic access. Balloon-assisted enteroscopy allows therapeutic endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in these patients, avoiding rescue surgery. The objective of the current study is to compare success and complication rate of double-balloon (DBE) and single-balloon enteroscope (SBE) to perform ERCP in Roux-en-Y patients. Methods Seventy three Roux-en-Y patients with suspected biliary tract pathology underwent balloon-assisted enteroscopy in a tertiary-care center. Retrospective analysis of 95 consecutive therapeutic ERCP procedures was performed to define and compare success and complication rate of DBE and SBE. Results Male-female ratio was 28/45 with a mean age of 58 ± 2 years. 30 (32 %) procedures were performed with DBE and 65 (68 %) with SBE. Overall ERCP success rate was 73 % for DBE and 75 % for SBE (P = 0.831). Failure was due to inability to reach or cannulate the intact papilla or bilioenteric anastomosis. Success rate was significantly higher when performed at the bilioenteric anastomosis (80 % success in 56 procedures) or at the intact papilla in short-limb Roux-en-Y (80 % in 15 procedures) as compared to the intact papilla in long-limb (58 % in 24 procedures; P = 0.040). Adverse event rates were 10 % (DBE) and 8 % (SBE) (P = 0.707) and mostly dealt with conservatively. Conclusions ERCP after Roux-en-Y altered small bowel anatomy is feasible and safe using both DBE and SBE. Both techniques are equally competent with high success rates and acceptable adverse events rates. ERCP at the level of the intact papilla in long limb Roux-en-Y is less successful as compared to short-limb or bilioenteric anastomosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Few studies have reported the outcomes of self-expandable metal stent (SEMS) placement for malignant biliary obstruction in patients with surgically altered anatomy. AIMS To evaluate the outcomes of biliary metal stent placement with the use of a short-type single-balloon enteroscope (working length, 1520 mm; channel diameter, 3.2 mm) in such patients. METHODS We retrospectively studied 13 malignant biliary obstructions treated by SEMS placement. Technical success rate, functional success rate, time to recurrent biliary obstruction (RBO), and complications were evaluated. RESULTS Technical success rate was 100 % (13/13), functional success rate was 92 % (12/13), and the median time to RBO was 247 days (95 % CI 205.6-285.5). Complications comprised mild pancreatitis in one patient. Uncovered SEMSs were placed in three obstructions, partially covered SEMS in five obstructions, and fully covered SEMSs in five obstructions. Three stents occluded (two ingrowths and one mucosal hyperplasia), and one symptomatic distal stent migration occurred after more than 30 days from placement. CONCLUSIONS A short-type single-balloon enteroscope was useful for the placement of various SEMS in this patient population with satisfactory outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of the conventional side-viewing duodenoscope for successful endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in postgastrectomy patients. METHODS A total of 220 consecutive patients with bile duct stones or a distal common bile duct stricture who had previously undergone gastrectomy and were referred for ERCP were analyzed for the outcome of their ERCP. All ERCP procedures were performed using a conventional side-viewing duodenoscope. In patients who had undergone a Billroth II gastroenterostomy and total gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y reconstruction, we also used the procedure of retrieval balloon-assisted enterography. RESULTS The study group included 220 patients who had previously undergone gastrectomy (77 women and 143 men; mean age, 72.2 y; range, 11 to 93 y). The overall enterography success rate was 90.5% (199/220), and the diagnostic and ERCP success rates were both 88.6% (195/220). Endoscopy was unsuccessful in 21 patients who received Billroth II gastroenterostomy and Roux-en-Y reconstruction. After successful endoscopy, diagnostic and ERCP success was not achieved in 4 patients with Billroth II gastroenterostomy, with or without Braun anastomosis, due to cannulation failure. The procedure-related complication rate was 5.5% (12/220), including immediate bleeding (0.9%, 2/220), pancreatitis (4.1%, 9/220), and perforation (0.5%, 1/220). There were no procedure-related deaths. CONCLUSIONS The side-viewing duodenoscope is a useful instrument for performing successful ERCP in patients postgastrectomy. In addition, retrieval balloon-assisted enterography may improve the enterography success rate in postgastrectomy patients with Billroth II and Roux-en-Y reconstruction.

Abstract
In September 2003, a double-balloon endoscope (DBE) composed of balloons attached to a scope and an overtube was released in Japan prior to becoming available in other parts of the world. The DBE was developed by Dr. Yamamoto (1), and 5 different types of scopes with different uses have already been marketed. In April 2007, a single-balloon small intestinal endoscope was released with a balloon attached only to the overtube as a subsequent model. This article presents a detailed account of the development of these scopes up to the present time.

Abstract
The endoscopic approach for biliary diseases in patients with surgically altered gastrointestinal anatomy (SAGA) had been generally deemed impractical. However, it was radically made feasible by the introduction of double balloon endoscopy (DBE) that was originally developed for diagnosis and treatments for small-bowel diseases. Followed by the subsequent development of single-balloon endoscopy (SBE) and spiral endoscopy (SE), interventions using several endoscopes for biliary disease in patients with SAGA widely gained an acceptance as a new modality. Many studies have been made on this new technique. Yet, some problems are to be solved. For instance, the mutual unavailability among devices due to different working lengths and channels, and unestablished standardization of procedural techniques can be raised. Additionally, in an attempt to standardize endoscopic procedures, it is important to evaluate biliary cannulating methods by case with existence of papilla or not. A full comprehension of the features of respective scope types is also required. However there are not many papers written as a review. In our manuscript, we would like to evaluate and make a review of the present status of diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography applying DBE, SBE and SE for biliary diseases in patients with SAGA for establishment of these modalities as a new technology and further improvement of the scopes and devices.

Abstract
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) remains challenging in patients who have undergone surgical reconstruction of the intestine. Recently, many studies have reported that balloon-enteroscope-assisted ERCP (BEA-ERCP) is a safe and effective procedure. However, further improvements in outcomes and the development of simplified procedures are required. Percutaneous treatment, Laparoscopy-assisted ERCP, endoscopic ultrasound-guided anterograde intervention, and open surgery are effective treatments. However, treatment should be noninvasive, effective, and safe. We believe that these procedures should be performed only in difficult-to-treat patients because of many potential complications. BEA-ERCP still requires high expertise-level techniques and is far from a routinely performed procedure. Various techniques have been proposed to facilitate scope insertion (insertion with percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) rendezvous technique, Short type single-balloon enteroscopes with passive bending section, Intraluminal injection of indigo carmine, CO2 inflation guidance), cannulation (PTBD or percutaneous transgallbladder drainage rendezvous technique, Dilation using screw drill, Rendezvous technique combining DBE with a cholangioscope, endoscopic ultrasound-guided rendezvous technique), and treatment (overtube-assisted technique, Short type balloon enteroscopes) during BEA-ERCP. The use of these techniques may allow treatment to be performed by BEA-ERCP in many patients. A standard procedure for ERCP yet to be established for patients with a reconstructed intestine. At present, BEA-ERCP is considered the safest and most effective procedure and is therefore likely to be recommended as first-line treatment. In this article, we discuss the current status of BEA-ERCP in patients with surgically altered gastrointestinal anatomy.

Abstract
AIM: To evaluate short-type-single-balloon enteroscope (SBE) with passive-bending, high-force transmission functions for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in patients with Roux-en-Y anastomosis.
METHODS: Short-type SBE with this technology (SIF-Y0004-V01; working length, 1520 mm; channel diameter, 3.2 mm) was used to perform 50 ERCP procedures in 37 patients with Roux-en-Y anastomosis. The rate of reaching the blind end, time required to reach the blind end, diagnostic and therapeutic success rates, and procedure time and complications were studied retrospectively and compared with the results of 34 sessions of ERCP performed using a short-type SBE without this technology (SIF-Y0004; working length, 1520 mm; channel diameter, 3.2 mm) in 25 patients.
RESULTS: The rate of reaching the blind end was 90% with SIF-Y0004-V01 and 91% with SIF-Y0004 (P = 0.59). The median time required to reach the papilla was significantly shorter with SIF-Y0004-V01 than with SIF-Y0004 (16 min vs 24 min, P = 0.04). The diagnostic success rate was 93% with SIF-Y0004-V01 and 84% with SIF-Y0004 (P = 0.17). The therapeutic success rate was 95% with SIF-Y0004-V01 and 96% with SIF-Y0004 (P = 0.68). The median procedure time was 40 min with SIF-Y0004-V01 and 36 min with SIF-Y0004 (P = 0.50). The incidence of hyperamylasemia was 6.0% in the SIF-Y0004-V01 group and 14.7% in the SIF-Y0004 group (P = 0.723). The incidence of pancreatitis was 0% in the SIF-Y0004-V01 group and 5.9% in the SIF-Y0004 group (P > 0.999). The incidence of gastrointestinal perforation was 2.0% (1/50) in the SIF-Y0004-V01 group and 2.9% (1/34) in the SIF-Y0004 group (P > 0.999).
CONCLUSION: SIF-Y0004-V01 is useful for ERCP in patients with Roux-en-Y anastomosis and may reduce the time required to reach the blind end.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM A limited number of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) accessories are compatible with the conventional single-balloon enteroscope (SBE) because of the latter's dimensions. The aim of the present study was to assess the utility of a prototype SBE that has a shorter working length and a wider channel than the conventional SBE. METHODS ERCP procedures carried out between January 2012 and July 2013 using the short SBE prototype were reconstructions such as Billroth II (B-II), post-gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y (RY-G), and post-choledochojejunostomy with Roux-en-Y (RY-CJ). We retrospectively analyzed the rate of reaching the blind end of the intestine, the diagnostic success rate, the interventional success rate, and the frequency of related complications. RESULTS Twenty-seven ERCP procedures on 18 patients analyzed comprised two B-II, 15 RY-G, and 10 RY-CJ reconstructions. With a mean procedure time of 56 min (range 40-150 min), the rate of reaching the blind end, the diagnostic success rate, and the interventional success rate were 24/27 (89%), 20/27 (74%), and 19/27 (70%), respectively. There were no major ERCP-related complications in any patient. CONCLUSIONS The prototype short-type SBE appears safe and effective for use in ERCP, and is compatible with conventional endoscopy accessories.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is technically more challenging in patients who have undergone gastrointestinal (GI) reconstruction. AIMS The aim of this study was to evaluate the utility of the anterior oblique-viewing endoscope (AOE) for ERCP in patients with a retained major duodenal papilla after GI reconstruction. METHODS This was a retrospective study involving 40 patients (50 procedures) with a retained papilla after GI reconstruction who underwent ERCP using AOE. Reconstruction consisted of Billroth II gastrectomy (BII) in 25 patients (30 procedures) and Roux-en-Y anastomosis (RY) in 15 patients (20 procedures). In RY cases, the long single-balloon enteroscope (LSBE) was exchanged with AOE after reaching the papilla. RESULTS The overall rate of reaching the papilla using AOE was 90.0 % (45/50) [BII; 86.7 % (26/30), RY; 95.0 % (19/20)]. The overall rate of biliary cannulation was 97.8 % (44/45) [BII; 100 % (26/26), RY; 94.7 % (18/19)], and the rate of biliary cannulation for intact papilla was 96.6 % (28/29) [BII; 100 % (14/14), RY; 93.3 % (14/15)]. Treatment success rate in cases of successful biliary cannulation was 97.7 % (43/44) [BII; 100 % (26/26), RY; 94.4 % (17/18)]. The rate of adverse events was 6.0 % (3/50) [BII; 3.3 % (1/30), RY; 10.0 % (2/20)], with mild pancreatitis occurring in 3 cases. CONCLUSIONS High biliary cannulation and treatment rates can be achieved during ERCP using AOE in altered GI anatomy cases with a retained papilla, as long as the papilla can be reached. In RY cases, exchanging AOE with LSBE is useful after reaching the papilla.

Abstract
Over the past decade the ability of endoscopists to access the biliary tree in patients with surgically altered gastroduodenal anatomy has significantly advanced. Much of the progress has occurred as a result of the development of better tools to navigate the deep small bowel, such as single-balloon- (SBE), double-balloon- (DBE), and spiral-enteroscopy-assisted endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). However, despite using a cap, accessing the papilla or bile duct using these forward-viewing enteroscopy platforms remains challenging, even in expert hands. In patients with Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) anatomy, the excluded stomach is a potential point of access for either a delayed transgastric- or immediate laparoscopy-assisted-ERCP approach. However, the parallel advancement of therapeutic endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) also provides alternative approaches through which the biliary system can be accessed and intervened on in patients with surgically altered anatomies. Generally speaking, in patients with short gastro-jejunal “Roux” and bilio-pancreatic limbs, ideally less than 150 cm in length, starting with a (cap-assisted) push-enteroscopy or balloon-enteroscopy approach would offer reasonable diagnostic and therapeutic ERCP success. When available, short-SBE or short-DBE scopes should be used, as they allow the use of conventional ERCP equipment, are associated with shorter procedure times, and are easier to manipulate. In patients with RYGB who have longer Roux and/or bilio-pancreatic limbs (> 150 cm in total length), or in patients who have failed prior attempts at deep enteroscopy-assisted ERCP, transgastric laparoscopy-assisted-ERCP is associated with higher rates of diagnostic and therapeutic success as compared to deep-enteroscopy-assisted ERCP. Finally, EUS-guided biliary access for antegrade biliary intervention or for rendezvous enteroscopy-assisted ERCP is possible. While percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage and surgical bile duct exploration remain viable alternatives, these methods are not without significant morbidity and mortality and should only be considered if less invasive endoscopic interventions are not feasible or appropriate.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The performance of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreaticography (ERCP) in patients with post-surgically altered anatomy is technically ambitious. Our study aimed at comparing a cohort of patients having successfully undergone single-balloon enteroscopy (SBE)-assisted ERCP to those in whom SBE-ERCP failed. METHODS This trial is a prospective single center cohort study. Participants included 30 patients (median age 69.5 years, range 20-86 years) with previous pancreaticobiliary surgery. First, a conventional ERCP approach was attempted in all patients. Additionally, those patients in whom prior conventional ERCP had failed underwent SBE-ERCP (n = 26). Patients' baseline characteristics were retrieved and patient cohorts with and without successful SBE-ERCPs were compared and analyzed. Statistical analysis was applied. Univariate analysis was performed to detect possible risk factors of SBE-ERCP failure. RESULTS The overall success rate of SBE-ERCP, including two patients with percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography- assisted rendezvous technique was 65.4% (17/26). Patients with malignant obstructive cholestasis had a significantly higher failure rate compared to those with benign strictures (84.2% vs. 14.2%, p < 0.001). DISCUSSION SBE-ERCP is a promising tool for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in the pancreaticobiliary system of selected, previously operated patients with failure of conventional ERCP. However, higher failure rates in malignant biliary obstruction should be taken into account.

Evaluation of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography using a newly developed short-type single-balloon endoscope in patients with altered gastrointestinal anatomy. Dig Endosc 2014; 26 Suppl 2:147-55.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Endoscopic approaches for pancreatobiliary diseases in patients with altered gastrointestinal anatomy had been impractical until the development of balloon-assisted endoscope (BAE) made it feasible. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the usefulness of a newly developed short-type single-balloon endoscope (s-SBE) for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in patients with altered gastrointestinal anatomy. METHODS From March 2013 to November 2013, s-SBE-assisted ERCP was done in our hospital in 26 postoperative patients who had surgically altered anatomy. We retrospectively evaluated the success rate of reaching the blind end, the mean time required to reach the blind end, the diagnostic success rate, the therapeutic success rate, the mean procedure time, and complications. RESULTS The success rate of reaching the blind end was 92.3%. The mean time required to reach the blind end was 25.3 min. The diagnostic success rate was 91.7%. The diagnostic success rate for naïve papilla was 75%. The mean procedure time was 56.0 min. The success rate of overall s-SBE-assisted ERCP was 84.6%. The complication rate was 3.8%. CONCLUSION Diagnostic and therapeutic ERCP using a newly developed s-SBE is sufficiently effective.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is technically challenging in patients with Roux-en-Y anastomosis and Billroth-II anastomosis. Short-type single-balloon enteroscope (SBE) was developed to carry out ERCP in postoperative patients with a reconstructed intestine. It is useful because of its good rotational and straightening ability and the availability of various conventional ERCP accessories through the 3.2-mm working channel, and it has a water-jet channel. METHODS In the present study, we compared outcomes between groups with short-type SBE and conventional SBE. RESULTS With regard to reaching the blind end, mean time to reach the blind end, diagnostic success rate, therapeutic success rate, mean procedure time, and complication rate, there were no statistical differences between the two groups. CONCLUSION The results suggest that both types of SBE are equally useful for ERCP in patients with a reconstructed intestine. Short-type SBE may be more preferable because of its good specification and maneuverability.

Abstract
Transpapillary endoscopic treatment is a standard technique for the treatment of bile duct stones. This technique includes biliary cannulation, ampullary interventions such as endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) and endoscopic papillary balloon dilation (EPBD), and stone removal. In patients with Roux-en-Y anastomosis, the transpapillary approach using an ordinary scope has been challenging. A recently developed single-/double-balloon enteroscope enables therapeutic endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography to be carried out in such cases. EST using a balloon enteroscope is often difficult to carry out as a result of restriction of scope maneuverability or inadequate direction of the accessory. Although EPBD is easy to carry out for any anatomy, large or multiple stones are difficult to remove by EPBD only because of insufficient opening of Vater's papilla. Endoscopic papillary large-balloon dilation following EST is reported to be useful for the treatment of large and/or multiple stones. This technique is also useful for the treatment of bile duct stones in patients with Roux-en-Y anastomosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM In patients with Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy (HJ with R-Y) and Whipple resection, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) can be challenging. We report our experience with ERCP using balloon-assisted enteroscopy (BAE) (BAE-ERCP) in patients with HJ with R-Y, and Whipple resection. METHODS BAE-ERCP procedures were carried out in 62 patients (HJ with R-Y:Whipple resection=34:28). RESULTS Overall, the rates of reaching the anastomosis were 85.3% (29/34) in HJ with R-Y and 96.4% (27/28) in Whipple resection. In terms of HJ with R-Y, insertion success rate by standard single-balloon enteroscopy (SBE) was 89.3% (25/28). Insertion success rate by short BAE, including SBE and double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE), was 50% (3/6). There was a statistically significant difference of insertion success rate between standard long BE and short BE (P=0.021). However, in the Whipple patients, insertion success rate by standard and short SBE was 93.8% (15/16) and 91.7% (11/12), respectively. Initial insertion success rate by short BAE in Whipple patients was significantly higher than in HJ with R-Y (91.7% vs 50%, P=0.045). Therapeutic interventions included dilation of anastomosis stricture, stone extraction, endoscopic mechanical lithotripsy, biliary stent placement, stent extraction, endoscopic nasobiliary drainage, direct cholangioscopy, and electrohydraulic lithotripsy. Our HJ with R-Y series and Whipple series treatment success rate was 90% (18/20) and 95.0% (19/20), respectively. CONCLUSIONS BAE-ERCP enabled ERCP to be carried out in patients with HJ. It is considered safe and feasible. Further experience and device improvement are needed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in patients with surgically altered anatomy is still challenging. We aimed to clarify the current status of ERCP in Japan in patients with surgically altered anatomy. METHODS Questionnaire survey was conducted in 2012 at 11 participating facilities regarding ERCP in patients with surgically altered anatomy. RESULTS A total of 490 ERCP procedures were carried out in 273 patients with surgically altered anatomy. The breakdown of surgical procedures was as follows: Roux-en-Y (R-Y) reconstruction (n=154 [31.4%]), pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) (n=136 [27.8%]), hepaticojejunostomy (n=103 [21.0%]), liver transplantation (n=20 [4.1%]), Billroth II reconstruction (n=69 [14.1%]), and interposition after total gastrectomy (n=8 [1.6%]). The overall success rate of reaching the target site was 91.8% (450 of 490 ERCP procedures). According to reconstructive surgical procedures, the target site was reached in 138 of 154 procedures (89.6%) for R-Y reconstruction, 129 of 136 procedures (94.8%) for PD, 89 of 103 procedures (86.4%) for hepaticojejunostomy, 18 of 20 procedures (90.0%) for liver transplantation, 68 of 69 procedures (98.6%) for Billroth II reconstruction, and eight of eight procedures (100%) for interposition after total gastrectomy. CONCLUSIONS The success rate of reaching the target site was high in patients with Billroth II reconstruction and low in patients with hepaticojejunostomy. Although the success rate of endoscopic insertion for ERCP in patients with surgically altered anatomy was high, there are still cases in which it is difficult to achieve technical success.
