Abstract
JESUS-FLORES, Alberto De and GUERRERO-MARTINEZ, Gustavo A.. Impact of the protocol proposed by the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy in patients at high risk of choledocholithiasis, in Puebla Regional Hospital ISSSTE in Mexico. Cir. cir. [online]. 2019, vol.87, n.4, pp.423-427. Epub Nov 29, 2021. ISSN 2444-054X. https://doi.org/10.24875/ciru.19000683.
Background:
Choledocholithiasis is one of the main complications of cholelithiasis with a prevalence in the Mexican population of 14%. The management through the guide proposed by the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) in 2010 can support the surgeon for the timely resolution of the pathology.
Objective:
To determine that the guide proposed by ASGE for the management of choledocholithiasis in patients with "high risk" reduces the complications of this pathology.
Methods:
A comparative, retrospective case-control study was conducted from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2017. We included patients who were stratified at high risk of choledocholithiasis according to the ASGE guidelines. They were divided into 2 groups: the case group (diagnosis by ASGE guidelines) was submitted directly to endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), the second group (no ASGE) followed the protocol of performing computed tomography, magnetic cholangioresonance, and finally ERCP.
Results:
Of 61 patients with choledocholithiasis, the following groups were compared: the appearance of cholangitis, the complications after ERCP, time of ERCP, days of hospital stay and mortality. Obtaining significant difference in: "complications post ERCP" group ASGE 3/35 (9%), group no ASGE 8/26 (30.7%) with OR of 0.2 (0.05 - 0.9 IC 95%) and a p = 0.03; "Cholangitis" group ASGE 2/35 (5.7%), group no ASGE 8/26 (30-7%) with ORP 0.13 (0.03-0.71 IC 95%) and p = 0.009.
Conclusion:
In our setting, the use of the ASGE guideline reduces the presence of cholangitis and post-ERCP complications.
