Item The Use of ERCP during Pregnancy: Is it Safe and Effective?(2014) Akcakaya, Adem; Koc, Bora; Adas, Gokhan; Kemik, Ozgur; 24901127Cholangitis and pancreatitis are the most gruesome complications that can be potentially fatal for the mother and fetus. The management of bile stone disease complicated with duct stones during pregnancy is challenging. Conservative treatment instead of surgery has always been advocated due to the increased risk for fetal compromise. Minimally invasive therapy with ERCP has been suggested as an effective therapeutic option for the management of pancreaticobiliary diseases during pregnancy. The main topics of discussion are the risks stemming from the endoscopic procedure itself, drugs used for sedation and the adverse effects of radiation exposure on the fetus. In this manuscript, we want to present the efficiency and feasibility of the ERCP for the management of hepatobiliary and pancreatic diseases in pregnancy.Item Body Mass Index, Cholecystitis, Cholelithiasis, Pancreatitis and Imaging of Common Bile Duct Stones(2014) Coban, Gokcen; Yildirim, Erkan; Gokturk, Savas; Caliskan, Zuhal; Turk, Emin; Akcil, Mehtap; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4010-2883; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9057-722X; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4766-3373; 23838577; P-7533-2014; ABI-3856-2020; AAJ-5609-2021Purpose:Studies to date have not investigated whether body mass index (BMI) affects the sensitivity and specificity of magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP). The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of BMI and also concomitant pancreatitis, cholecystitis and cholelithiasis on the sensitivity and specificity of MRCP.Materials and Methods:Between January 2004 and December 2011, 185 patients were included in the study and divided into 3 groups according to BMI as normal, overweight or obese. Both MRCP and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) were performed in all patients. ERCP was accepted as the gold standard. The accuracy, sensitivity and specificity values of the 3 groups were calculated to determine any effects on the results of the MRCP.Results:Before separating into groups according to BMI, the statistical results for MRCP in the detection of stone disease were as follows: specificity 74.3%, sensitivity 81.7% and accuracy 79%. After dividing the patients into 3 groups according to BMI, the specificity of stone detection with MRCP in the normal-weight group was 93.8% but decreased to 65.5% in the overweight group and to 72% in the obese group. The sensitivity of stone detection with MRCP in the normal-weight group was 85.2% but decreased to 75% in the overweight group and increased to 88.9% in the obese group. The accuracy was 88.3% in the normal-weight group but decreased to 71.6% in the overweight group and to 81.9% in the obese group.Conclusion:Our study showed that MRCP performance was decreased in the overweight and obese groups.Item Perforation without manifestations of acute abdomen after ERCP(2016) Karadeli, Elif; Tok, Sermin; Erbay, Gurcan; 0000-0002-0352-8818; 0000-0002-1706-8680; AAK-5399-2021; AAK-5370-2021Perforations are rare after endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERCP) but they are serious complications. Perforations may occur due to patient-related factors or procedural technique. The mortality rate is higher than 37.5%. We are presenting a patient with perforation detected on a computed tomography (CT) scan after ERCP for obstructive jaundice that was treated conservatively. Perforation after ERCP can be operated or treated conservatively according to the patient's condition.
