Retrograde jejuno-gastric intussusception is an unusual complication after gastroenterostomy. It is very difficult to diagnosis this illness before endoscopy or operation, so a high clinical suspicion is needed to make the diagnosis .There have been only 300 reported cases of this illness. There are four types of jejuno-gastric intussusception that are defined anatomically. Intussusception of the efferent limb of the jejunum is the most frequent type. Although the causative factors are not well known, this disease has a poor outcome unless it's treats promptly within 48 hours. We report here a case of hematemesis caused by intussusceptum from the efferent limb to the afferent limb of Braun anastomosis.

Gastritis cystica profunda (GCP) is a rare disease which is mainly observed at the site of gastroenterostomy. However, it may occur in the stomach without a previous history of surgery. Under histologic examination GCP shows hyperplastic and cystic dilatation of the pseudopyloric glands with submucosal invasion. GCP with sessile polypoid pro-trusion is most commonly found but, submucosal tumors, giant gastric mucosal folds and pedunculated forms are occasionally found. We present the case of GCP showing a large sized polyp (3 2.5 2.5 cm) with a long pendulous pedicle that had developed in the fundus of the stomach without previous surgical history. Endoscopic polypectomy was performed for confirmation.

Gastritis cystica profunda is an uncommon benign mass that usually occurs on the gastric side of the site of a gastroenterostomy, but has also been known to develop in which has not been operated on. We report the case of stomach a 51-years-old man with pathologically proven gastritis cystica profunda. This patient had not undergone gastric surgery and CT showed a well-defined, 3 cm sized, cystic mass at the gastric antrum.

Many studies have shown that gastric stump cancer develops after distal gastrectomy, particularly after Billroth II reconstruction. But, recurrent cancer at the duodenal stump following Billroth II type distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer is extremely rare. We report a case of duodenal stump cancer in a 64-year-old man underwent Billroth II distal gastrectomy.

Gastritis cystica polyposa (GCP) is a lesion characterized by all the histological features described for hyperplastic polyps, And there is s marked proliferation of muscular elements and entrapment of numerous epithelial cysts. These lesions have been described at gastroenterostomy stomas, at peptic ulcer edges, and in association with carcinoma. It is rare that GCP presenting as a submucosal tumar-like lesion develops in the absence of above mentioned associated conditions. We had experienced a 69 year-old man with GCP. Barium X-ray and endoacopic findings showed submucosal tumor in antrum, and endoscopic ultrasonograpic findings showed markedly thickened mucosal layer with scattered hypoechoeic areas and the submucosal layer well preserved. GCP was confirmed by histological examination of resected stomach.

Gastritis cystica profunda (GCP) is a rare disease in which hyperplastic and cystic dilatation of the gastric mucous glands extend into the tissues beneath the submucosa. GCP is mainly observed at the site of a gastroenterostomy; however, it may occur in the stomach without a previous history of surgery. GCP may present not only as a submucosal tumor or as solitary or diffuse polyps but also rarely as a giant gastric mucosal fold. In a patient without a previous history of surgery, GCP presents mainly as a sessile polypoid protrusion or as a submucosal tumor. In addition, GCP presents with non-specific symptoms and is most commonly found incidentally. We present a case of GCP that developed upper gastrointestinal bleeding and showed a long stalk and a focal ulcerative lesion on the surface of a polyp that developed in the stomach without a history of previous surgery. This lesion was removed by the use of an endoscopic polypectomy and was histologically diagnosed as GCP.

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in post-gastrectomy patients with Billroth II (BII) reconstruction and Roux-en-Y (RY) reconstruction presents a challenge to therapeutic endoscopists. Major difficulties, including intubation to the ampulla of Vater, selective cannulation, and ampullary intervention, must be overcome in these patients. Recent data have shown that device-assisted ERCP allows for high success rates in these patients because various devices are useful for overcoming major difficulties. Therefore, good knowledge of postoperative anatomy and various devices is mandatory before performing ERCP procedures for post-gastrectomy patients.

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Endoscopic extraction of bile duct stones is difficult and often complicated in patients with a Billroth II gastrectomy. We evaluated a simpler technique to achieve an adequate ampullary opening for the removal of choledocholithiasis using endoscopic papillary large balloon dilation (EPLBD) combined with a guidewire-assisted needle-knife papillotomy. METHODS: Sixteen patients who had a Billroth II gastrectomy were included in this study. Following placement of the guidewire in the bile duct, a precut incision was made over the guidewire with a needle knife sphincterotome inserted alongside the guidewire. Balloon dilation of the ampullary orifice was gradually performed. RESULTS: Needle knife papillotomy over the guidewire with subsequent EPLBD was successful in all patients. Complete stone removal was achieved in 15 (93.7%) patients in 1 session. However, 1 (6.3%) patient required mechanical lithotripsy with an additional procedure for complete ductal clearance, and there was 1 case of minor bleeding following the EPLBD. There were no cases of pancreatitis or perforation. CONCLUSIONS: EPLBD followed by guidewire-assisted needle-knife papillotomy appears to be a useful method with few technical difficulties and a low risk of complications for the removal of bile duct stones in patients with prior Billroth II gastrectomy.
