Abstract<br />
Therapeutic endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography<br />
(ERCP) is the ma<strong>in</strong>stay treatment for bile<br />
duct disease. The procedure is difficult per se, especially<br />
when a side-view<strong>in</strong>g duodenoscope is used, and when<br />
the patient has altered anatomical features, such as<br />
<strong>colon</strong>ic <strong>in</strong>terposition. Currently, there is no consensus on<br />
the standard approach for therapeutic ERCP <strong>in</strong> patients<br />
with total esophagectomy and <strong>colon</strong>ic <strong>in</strong>terposition. We<br />
describe a novel treatment design that <strong>in</strong>volves the use<br />
<strong>of</strong> a side-view<strong>in</strong>g duodenoscope to perform therapeutic<br />
ERCP <strong>in</strong> patients with total esophagectomy and <strong>colon</strong>ic<br />
<strong>in</strong>terposition. A gastroscope was <strong>in</strong>itially <strong>in</strong>troduced<br />
<strong>in</strong>to the <strong>in</strong>terposed <strong>colon</strong> and a radio-opaque standard<br />
guidewire was advanced to a distance beyond the papilla<br />
<strong>of</strong> Vater, before the gastroscope was withdrawn. A sideview<strong>in</strong>g<br />
duodenoscope was then <strong>in</strong>troduced along the<br />
guidewire under fluoroscopic guidance. After cannulation<br />
<strong>in</strong>to the papilla <strong>of</strong> Vater, endoscopic retrograde chol-<br />

duct (CBD). This defect was determ<strong>in</strong>ed to be a stone,<br />

is possible to perform therapeutic ERCP <strong>in</strong> patients with<br />

INTRODUCTION<br />
The application <strong>of</strong> a side-view<strong>in</strong>g duodenoscope <strong>in</strong> total<br />
esophagectomy with <strong>colon</strong>ic <strong>in</strong>terposition is technically<br />
difficult, because <strong>of</strong> the altered structure <strong>of</strong> the <strong>colon</strong> and<br />
the redundancy <strong>of</strong> the endoscopic route. We report a wire-guided<br />
treatment designed to overcome this pitfall by<br />
<strong>in</strong>troduc<strong>in</strong>g a side-view<strong>in</strong>g duodenoscope along a radioopaque<br />
standard guidewire to facilitate therapeutic ERCP<br />
<strong>in</strong> patients undergo<strong>in</strong>g esophagectomy with <strong>colon</strong>ic <strong>in</strong>terposition.<br />
The use <strong>of</strong> this treatment method ensured the safety<br />
<strong>of</strong> wire-guided therapeutic ERCP <strong>in</strong> patients undergo<strong>in</strong>g<br />
total esophagectomy with <strong>colon</strong>ic <strong>in</strong>terposition.<br />
