| ABSTRACT |
Background/Aims:
ERCP is an important diagnostic and therapeutic method in biliary and pancreatic diseases. Patients have been routinely admitted for prevention of potential complications after ERCP. Recently, development in endoscopic technique and instruments has improved successful procedure with few complications, so outpatient ERCP is considerable under certain conditions. We evaluated the safety of diagnostic ERCP in outpatients.
Methods:
500 cases who had been undergone outpatient ERCP between June, 1994 and August, 1996 were retrospectively investigated. Patients were selected by ASA (American society of anesthesiologists) classification-class I and II. And then, comparison of success rate and complications between outpatient and inpatient ERCP group(1244 cases, from January, 1987 to August 1991) was done.
Results:
The success rate of cannulation in outpatient group and inpatient group was 89.8% (n=449) and 91.5% (n=1138), respectively. The complication rate was 1.0% in outpatient group and 2.2% in inpatient group. There was no significant statistical difference in the success rate and the complication rate between outpatient and inpatient group. There is no procedure-related mortality.
Conclusions:
A policy of selected diagnostic ERCP in outpatient appears to be safe. |
