Abstract:
Objective To assess the safety and efficacy of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for pancreaticobiliary diseases in children. Methods Data of 9 patients younger than 14 years who underwent ERCP at between November 2004 and May 2010 were indentified through a computer database search. Therapeutic methods, success rate and procedure-related complications were evaluated.Results A total of 9 patients underwent 17 ERCP procedures under anesthesia, including 16 therapeutic and 1 diagnostic procedure. The success rate was 94. 1% (16/17) and the complication rate was 11.8%(2/17), including 1 mild pancreatitis and 1 peri-pancreatic infection. Conclusion ERCP is an important tool with high safety and efficacy for diagnosis and treatment of pancreaticobiliary diseases in children.
