Objective To investigate the safety and effectiveness of different intravenous anesthesia methods for pediatric ERCP . Methods Data of 45 children undergoing ERCP at the Affiliated Hangzhou Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from August 2013 to July 2016, including intravenous anesthesia,the procedure of ERCP, adverse reactions and the waking time were retrospectively studied. Results A total of 45 patients in two groups under intravenous anesthesia successfully underwent ERCP . Seventeen patients ( 37. 8%) whose body weights were over 20 kg and the duration of surgery was predicted less than 30 minutes received deep sedation without airway intubation. Twenty?eight patients ( 62. 2%) with an initial weight of less than 20 kg and the duration of surgery was predicted more than 30 minutes received general anesthesia with airway intubation. In patients with deep sedation, the mean time of waking was 7. 2±6. 3 minutes, body movement reaction occurred in 1 case ( 5. 9%) and with transient decreasing of pulse blood oxygen ( beyond 95%) occurred in 2 cases ( 11. 8%) . In patients receiving endotracheal anesthesia with intubation, the mean waking time was 10. 5±8. 7 minutes without adverse reactions associated with anesthesia. Conclusion Both deep sedation and general anesthesia with airway intubation are safe for pediatric ERCP. However, general anesthesia with airway intubation is an ideal method ensuring the airway safety and oxygen supply for children less than 20 kg undergoing first?time ERCP or the duration of surgery lasting over 30 minutes.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of endoscopic papillectomy (EP) combined with endobiliary radio frequency ablation (RFA) for duodenal papilla tumor with intraductal biliary infiltration.Methods:Data of 12 patients with histologically confirmed duodenal papilla tumor combined with intraductal biliary infiltration treated by EP with RFA from February 2013 to February 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Clinical characteristics,endoscopic features, treatment efficacy and postoperative complications of patients were reviewed and recurrence was followed up.Results:The median diameter of lesions measured by endoscopic ultrasound was 18.5 mm×15.5 mm, and the length of intrabiliary invasion was 14.1±5.8 mm. EP combined with RFA was successfully performed in all patients with a technical success rate of 100%. Postoperative pathology showed adenocarcinoma in 5 patients, adenoma with high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia in 6 patients, and adenoma with low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia in 1 patient. Patients received mean 4.1±1.6 times of ERCP with intraductal biopsy during a mean follow-up period of 28.5±10.4 months. Recurrence occurred in 2 patients at 14 and 20 months respectively, both were adenocarcinoma.Conclusion:EP combined with RFA is effective and safe for duodenal papilla tumor with intraductal biliary infiltration. However, given the risk of recurrence, close surveillance is recommended.

Objective:To evaluate the safety and efficacy of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for diagnosis and treatment of pancreas divisum (PD) combined with chronic pancreatitis (CP) in children.Methods:Data of patients under 18 years old diagnosed as having PD with CP in Hangzhou First People′s Hospital from January 2010 to January 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The general information, endoscopic procedures and follow-up of the children were recored. The number of acute pancreatitis attacks, visual analogue scale (VAS) scores of the abdominal pain, and the diameter of pancreatic duct before and after ERCP were compared.Results:A total of 19 children diagnosed as having PD with CP underwent 82 ERCP procedures with the mean number of 4.31 (1-9). The mean number of pancreatic stent replacement was 3.21 (0-8). The success rate of minor papilla cannulation was 97.6% (80/82) with the pain relief rate of 89.5% (17/19) after the first ERCP. ERCP-related complication rate was 4.9% (4/82)without transference to surgery. The mean follow-up time was 55.8 months (9-114 months). The median number of acute pancreatitis attacks decreased from 3.0 to 0 compared with that before the procedure ( Z=-3.839, P<0.001) and the median VAS score decreased from 6 to 1 ( Z=-3.748, P<0.001), both of which had significant difference. However, the median diameters of main pancreatic duct were both 0.35 cm before and after procedure with no significant difference ( Z=-0.699, P=0.484). Conclusion:ERCP is safe and effective to diagnose and treat pediatric patients with PD with CP.
