PENALOZA-RAMIREZ, Arecio et al. Laparoscopic-assisted transgastric retrograde endoscopic cholangiopancreatography in a patient with a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass: Case report and literature review. Rev Col Gastroenterol [online]. 2019, vol.34, n.2, pp.207-210. ISSN 0120-9957.  https://doi.org/10.22516/25007440.399.

Obesity is a public health problem. Bariatric surgery plays an important role in the management of these patients. With the advent of bariatric surgical techniques, endoscopic digestive procedures, especially endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), have become constant challenges. We describe a case of laparoscopic-assisted transgastric retrograde endoscopic cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) to treat calculi in the main bile duct of a patient with a history of a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.

Keywords : Roux-en-Y gastric bypass; endoscopic retrograde endoscopic cholangiopancreatography (ERCP); laparoscopy.
