Management of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography-related perforation

C H Eric Lai et al. Surgeon. 2008 Feb.

Abstract

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)-related perforation occurs in 0.1-1.8% of patients after therapeutic ERCP. It is a serious complication with a high mortality. However, little evidence exists in the medical literature and the optimal management remains unclear. This review aims to critically evaluate the optimal management of therapeutic ERCP-related perforation.
