Outcomes of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography in patients with situs inversus viscerum

Abstract: Background/Aims: Situs inversus viscerum (SIV) is a congenital condition defined by left-to-right transposition of all visceral organs. This anatomical variant has caused technical challenges in endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Data on ERCP in patients with SIV are limited to case reports of unknown clinical and technical success rates. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical and technical success rates of ERCP in patients with SIV. Methods: Data from patients with SIV who underwent ERC… Show more

“…Performing the surgery using an open approach or converting to an open approach is always an option in cases where there is severe inflammation, unforeseen obstructions that require better visualization, extensive adhesions, and anatomical variations that were not accounted for [5]. Preoperative ERCPs can be ordered to help prevent conversion to open surgeries, yielding a 63% success rate; however, they are not commonly ordered unless otherwise indicated [10].…”

“…With everything opposite of the standard "usual," the diagnosis and management of SIT patients are higher on the difficulty index versus patients without SIT [2]. When indicated, surgeons should proceed with the elective procedure and may choose to supplement their pre-surgical planning with the utilization of imaging studies such as CT, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) [10]. Though vascular variations may exist, SIT patients typically only differ from normal patients in regard to anatomic mirroring [11].…”
