Endoscopic fistulotomy (EFT) for parapapillary choledochoduodenal fistula.

Up to now, surgery was the only possible treatment for choledochoduodenal fistulas, which are seen more often in Japan than in Europe. This paper presents the value and effect of endoscopic fistulotomy (EFT) as an alternative treatment in those cases. Parapapillary choledochoduodenal fistulas are abserved usually on the longitudinal fold of the papilla or on its oral side. The papillotome is inserted into the common bile duct through the orifice of the duodenal papilla, then the wall between its orifice and the fistula is cut to open widely the distal portion of the choledochus. EFT was performed successfully in 7 cases. The procedure led to a wide open stoma of the distal common bile duct with free bile outflow. Residual stones, a common occurrence in cases of parapapillary choledochoduodenal fistulas, may pass spontaneously after EFT or can be removed with a basket catheter. In cases of parapapillary choledochoduodenal fistula, EFT is a reliable method, especially in high-risk patients, and an alternative to surgical treatment.

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) performed in children.

The value of ERCP in children is demonstrated on 3 cases. By using a usual duodenofiberscope (JF-B2), in 2 cases under general anesthesia and in one case after premedication with 1 ml Buscopan i.m., a similar technique is used as in adults. In congenital choledochal cyst only ERCP allowed the exact judgement of the distal part of the common bile duct and its relation to the pancreatic duct. Therefore, an exact preoperative diagnosis can be established. When duodenofiberscope will be more improved ERCP will also be possible in the newborn infant. Than the differential diagnosis of congenital biliary atresia, other congenital failures in infants causing jaundice and hepatitis in infant will be established endoscopically.
