Abstract: Objective To explore the endoscopic managements for biliary and pancreatic diseases in patients with the history of complex gastrointestinal surgery.Methods Data of four patients who underwent balloon-assisted enteroscopy after complex digestive surgeries (2 patients underwent Roux-en-Y reconstruction,2 others Whipple reconstruction) were retrospectively collected.One patient with bilio-intestinal anastomosis was explored by double-balloon enteroscope (DBE),and balloon-assisted enteroscopy combined with ERCP was used for other 3 patients.Results Therapeutic ERCP was successfully performed on one patient,and the diagnosis of 3 others were confirmed.No operation-related complications such as bleeding or perforation was observed.Conclusion Balloon-assisted enteroscopy combined with ERCP is an important diagnostic and therapeutic method for biliary and pancreatic diseases in the patients after complex gastrointestinal surgery.
