Outcomes of Laparoscopic-Assisted ERCP after Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass: Safe and Effective for Management of Sphincter of Oddi Dysfunction

David May, DO, David M Parker, MD, Ellen D Vogels, DO, Daaron McField, MD, Anthony T Petrick, MD, Jon Gabrielsen, MD. Geisinger Medical Center

Introduction: Biliary access following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) anatomy presents a significant challenge. Long term outcomes of Laparoscopic assisted trans-gastric ERCP (LAERCP) including Sphincter of Oddi Dysfunction (SOD) subtypes have not been examined. Our study aims to present our outcomes of trans-gastric LAERCP and examine a significant subgroup of patients with SOD after RYGB.

Methods & Procedures: A retrospective review of RYGB patients who underwent LAERCP between 2009 and 2016 identified 51 patients. A subgroup of 21 patients with SOD were examined and contacted by phone survey to determine long term symptom resolution.

Results: Post-procedure length of stay was 1.9 days (sd 3.0). Indications included choledocholithiasis (n=24), SOD (n=21) bile duct stricture (n=3), bile leak (n=1), recurrent pancreatitis (n=1), and diagnostic (n=1). There was one conversion from laparoscopic to open procedure. Selective cannulation rate was 100%. During a 14.6-month mean follow-up, there were 2 major operative complications (dislodged gastrostomy tube and transfusion) and 2 major ERCP related complications (repeat ERCP for hemobilia and a kinked stent). There were 5 (9.8%) wound infections. There were no deaths related to the intervention and no clinically significant pancreatitis. Within the SOD subgroup, 17 patients had biliary SOD (Type I=9, Type II=8). The remaining 4 had pancreatic SOD (Type I=1, Type II=3). SOD sub-group follow up was 21.4 months (SD 18.1). All patients with pancreatic SOD and Type I biliary SOD reported complete resolution of their symptoms.

Conclusions: Consistent with other published series, LAERCP appears to yield excellent cannulation rates after RYGB. The successful treatment of pancreatic and Type 1 biliary SOD suggests that there is significant benefit to treating this patient population with acceptable risks.
