Divertículos duodenales periampulares y el fallo técnico-terapéutico durante colangiopancreatografía retrógrada endoscópica (CPRE) / Periampullary duodenal diverticula and technical-therapeutic failure during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)

Resumen Introducción y objetivos: los divertículos duodenales periampulares (DDP) son infrecuentes y su hallazgo es incidental. Además, se clasifican en tres tipos según Boix por la cercanía a la ampolla mayor. El objetivo de este estudio fue realizar una descripción de nuestra experiencia con esta anomalía anatómica y demostrar la forma en que esto afecta la tasa de éxito técnica y terapéutica del procedimiento. Material y métodos: se realizó un estudio de corte transversal, con recolección de datos de forma retrospectiva en un período de 5 años de pacientes con divertículos periampulares duodenales. Se evaluó el fracaso terapéutico, complicaciones y dificultad de canulación de la vía biliar. Resultados: se evaluó un total de 214 pacientes, con una relación mujer-hombre de 2,15:1. La distribución de los sujetos por tipo de DDP fue: tipo 1 (29,9 %), tipo 2 (51,9 %) y tipo 3 (18,2 %). La indicación más frecuente de CPRE fue los cálculos del conducto biliar común en un 53,3 %. El DDP tipo 1 presentó mayor dificultad de canulación (11,6 %) y falla terapéutica (28,12 %). Conclusión: la presencia de DDP durante la CPRE se asocia con una mayor falla técnica (falla en la canulación) y falla terapéutica (persistencia de la obstrucción biliar). Además, estas fallas aumentan considerablemente cuando se trata de una papila intradiverticular tipo 1 de la clasificación según Boix. Por lo anterior, se sugiere que los procedimientos endoscópicos biliares en estas condiciones sean realizados por endoscopistas con gran experiencia con el fin de minimizar la probabilidad de falla técnica y terapéutica, y las complicaciones asociadas.

Abstract Introduction and objectives: Periampullary duodenal diverticula are infrequent, and their finding is incidental. They are classified into three types according to Boix due to their proximity to the larger blister. This study aims to describe the experience with this anatomical abnormality and to demonstrate how this affects the technical and therapeutic success rate of the procedure. Materials y Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted, with retrospective data collection over a 5-year period of patients with periampullary duodenal diverticula. Therapeutic failure, complications, and difficulty of cannulation of the bile duct were evaluated. Results: A total of 214 patients were evaluated, with a female-male ratio of 2.15: 1. The distribution of the subjects by type of PDD was: type 1 (29.9%), type 2 (51.9%), and type 3 (18.2%). The most frequent indication for ERCP was common bile duct stones in 53.3%. Type 1 PDD presented greater difficulty in cannulation (11.6%) and therapeutic failure (28.12%). Conclusion: The presence of PDD during ERCP is associated with greater technical failure (failure in cannulation) and therapeutic failure (persistence of biliary obstruction). In addition, this failures increases considerably when it is a type 1 intradiverticular papilla of the Boix classification. Therefore, it is suggested that biliary endoscopic procedures in these conditions are performed by highly experienced endoscopists to minimize the probability of technical and therapeutic failure and associated complications.

Hemofilia paraneoplásica adquirida secundaria a adenocarcinoma de la ampolla de Vater / Acquired paraneoplastic hemophilia secondary to Vater's ampulla adenocarcinoma

Resumen La hemofilia adquirida A es un desorden hemorrágico inusual de origen autoinmune que resulta en la formación de autoanticuerpos dirigidos contra el factor VIII de la coagulación. Estos autoanticuer pos pueden actuar neutralizando parcial o completamente la activación o función del factor, o también pueden acelerar su eliminación de la circulación. La incidencia mundial de la enfermedad es de 1.5 casos por millón de habitantes por año. En cerca del 50% de los pacientes se puede detectar una enfermedad subyacente que se presume responsable de la producción de los autoanticuerpos. Se presenta el caso de un varón con hemofilia adquirida A, en contexto de adenocarcinoma de la ampolla de Vater.

Abstract Acquired hemophilia A is an unusual bleeding disorder of autoimmune origin resulting in the formation of autoantibodies directed against coagulation factor VIII. These autoantibodies can act by partially or completely neutralizing the activation or function of the factor, or they can also accelerate its elimination from the circulation. The global incidence of the disease is 1.5 cases per million inhabitants per year. In nearly 50% of cases, an underlying disease that is presumed responsible to produce autoantibodies can be detected. We report a case with acquired hemophilia A, in a patient with Vater's ampulla adenocarcinoma.

Emprego da papilectomia endoscópica para tratamento de tumores precoces da papila duodenal maior - série de casos / Endoscopic papillectomy for early ampullary neoplastic lesions - a case series analysis

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Endoscopic papillectomy has been conceived as a less invasive therapeutic option for treatment of early neoplastic lesions located at the major duodenal papilla. OBJECTIVE: Evaluating patients with early ampullary lesions who underwent curative intent endoscopic papillectomy related to technical success (histopathological tumor margin assessment) and safety (adverse event rate). METHODS: A retrospective study including consecutive patients who underwent curative intent endoscopic papillectomy for demographic, histopathological and pre-/post-procedural clinical assessment. Endpoints were technical success (histopathological residual tumor assessment) and adverse events rates. RESULTS: A total of 21 medical records patients with a female predominance (13 cases, 61.9%) were included. The tumor was incidental in 8 (38%) cases. Negative residual tumor resection margin rate was 72% (15 cases); three of these cases confirmed high-grade dysplasia in the resected specimen, and six cases were invasive neoplasia. Tumoral recurrence was seen in two cases, and median follow-up time was 12 months, with a 23% loss rate (five patients). Six (28.5%) patients had adverse events, all of them early (bleeding and pancreatitis); none of them required surgical intervention and there was no mortality. CONCLUSION: Endoscopic papillectomy allowed for technical successful procedure with complete removal of ampullary neoplastic lesions in the majority of cases with acceptable adverse event rates. Recurrence rate should be carefully assessed in further studies. There was a recent increase in the number of procedures. There was also a low correlation between pre- and post-histopathological assessment regarding the presence of invasive carcinoma and adenoma with high grade dysplasia, with a predominance of superficial neoplastic adenomatous lesions.

RESUMO CONTEXTO: A papilectomia endoscópica tem sido a opção terapêutica menos invasiva no tratamento de tumores precoces que acometem a papila duodenal maior. OBJETIVO: Avaliar pacientes com tumores ampulares precoces submetidos a papilectomia endoscópica com finalidade curativa, com relação ao sucesso técnico (avaliação histopatológica da margem tumoral) e sua segurança (taxa de eventos adversos [EAs]). MÉTODOS: Foram avaliados retrospectivamente dados demográficos, exame histopatológico e evolução clínica pré e pós-procedimento de pacientes consecutivos submetidos a papilectomia endoscópica. Os desfechos avaliados foram o sucesso técnico (avaliação histopatológica de tumor residual) e taxa de EAs. RESULTADOS: Um total de 21 prontuários de pacientes com predominância feminina (13 casos, 61,9%) foi incluído no estudo. O diagnóstico tumoral foi incidental em 8 (38%) casos. A taxa de margem de ressecção negativa foi 72% (15 casos); três destas lesões confirmaram displasia de alto grau (DAG) no espécime ressecado e seis casos de neoplasia invasora. Houve recorrência tumoral em dois casos e a mediana de seguimento foi de 12 meses, com 23% de taxa de perda de seguimento (cinco casos). Seis (28,5%) pacientes apresentaram EAs, todos precoces (hemorragia e pancreatite aguda); nenhum destes necessitou de intervenção cirúrgica e não houve mortalidade. CONCLUSÃO: A papilectomia endoscópica permitiu sucesso técnico, com a completa remoção de lesões neoplásicas ampulares na maioria dos casos com taxa de EAs aceitáveis. A taxa de recorrência tumoral deve ser cuidadosamente avaliada em estudos futuros. Houve um aumento recente do número de procedimentos realizados. Também houve baixa correlação entre o diagnóstico histológico pré e pós-procedimento para a presença de adenocarcinoma invasor e adenoma com DAG, com predomínio de lesões adenomatosas superficiais.

Adenocarcinoma de papila duodenal maior - Um relato de caso / Adenocarcinoma of the major duodenal papilla - A case report

Tumores periampulares (TP) são originados a partir de estruturas próximas a Ampola de Vater e correspondem a um grupo heterogêneo de neoplasias. O adenocarcinoma da papila duodenal maior faz parte desse grupo de neoplasias. As principais manifestações são a icterícia do tipo obstrutiva, prurido, colúria, acolia fecal, além de perda ponderal e dor abdominal, associado a elevação dos níveis séricos de bilirrubina e enzimas hepáticas. O prognóstico é obscuro, sendo os carcinomas do tipo pancreaticobiliar aqueles com pior prognóstico. A ecografia endoscópica é o método mais sensível para diagnóstico e estadiamento e o tratamento de escolha é pancreaticoduodenectomia, conhecida como cirurgia de Whipple, frequentemente associada à quimioterapia adjuvante ou terapia de quimiorradiação. O presente trabalho propõe descrever um caso de adenocarcinoma da ampola de Vater em paciente de 38 anos atendida no Hospital Universitário da Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora (HU-UFJF), abrangendo desde a sintomatologia inicial, processo diagnóstico até a conduta terapêutica. Sua relevância está em alertar os profissionais da saúde sobre a importância de elencar os tumores periampulares entre os possíveis diagnósticos diferenciais para pacientes com síndrome colestática, dado que o diagnóstico e a ressecção cirúrgica precoce são os fatores decisivos para um melhor prognóstico. (AU)

Periampular tumors (PT) originate from structures close to Vater's Ampulla and correspond to a heterogeneous group of cancers. The adenocarcinoma of the major duodenal papilla is part of this group of cancers. The main manifestations are obstructive jaundice, pruritus, choluria, fecal acholia, weight loss and abdominal pain, associated with elevated serum levels of bilirubin and liver enzymes. The prognosis is poor, with pancreaticobiliar type carcinomas having the worst prognosis. Endoscopic ultrasound is the most sensitive method for diagnosis and staging, and the best treatment is pancreaticoduodenectomy, known as Whipple surgery, often associated with adjuvant chemotherapy or chemoradiation therapy. The article proposes to describe a case of adenocarcinoma of the Vater's ampulla in a 38-year-old patient treated at the University Hospital of the Federal University of Juiz de Fora (HU-UFJF), covering from the initial symptoms, the diagnostic process and the therapeutic conduct. Its relevance is to alert health professionals about the importance of listing periampular tumors among the possible differential diagnoses for patients with cholestatic syndrome, considering that the diagnosis and early surgical resection are decisive factors for a better prognosis.

Antecedentes: La canulación biliar difícil es un factor de riesgo para la pancreatitis post-CPRE. En estos casos el precorte es la técnica más usada. Objetivo: Demostrar que el precorte tipo fistulotomía es seguro y eficaz. Materiales y métodos: Se revisaron los datos de mayo de 2016 a mayo de 2018. Se definió canulación difícil como: litiasis impactada, canulación inadvertida del conducto pancreático en tres ocasiones e incapacidad para lograr la canulación en 3 minutos. Las medidas de resultados fueron la canulación biliar exitosa y la pancreatitis post-CPRE. Resultados: Se realizó precorte tipo fistulotomía en 96 casos (67 mujeres, 29 hombres). La tasa de éxito de la canulación biliar fue del 95,8% (92/96). Ochenta pacientes tenían factores de riesgo para pancreatitis post CPRE: 29 tuvieron un solo factor de riesgo, 26 tuvieron dos, 19 tuvieron tres y 6 tuvieron cuatro. Factores de riesgo ampulares de canulación difícil: calculo impactado 9 casos, abultamiento de la papila en 10 casos, ubicación inferior del orificio papilar en 38 casos, localización parcial del poro papilar en 23 y estenosis del orificio papilar en 16 casos. Diez pacientes tuvieron divertículo periampular, 7 pacientes tuvieron conducto biliar normal. Ninguno de los pacientes experimentó pancreatitis. Tres pacientes tuvieron sangrado precoz, una paciente presento sangrado tardío. Un paciente (2%) tuvo fiebre y fue hospitalizado. Conclusiones: En casos de canulación biliar difícil el precorte tipo fistulotomía es seguro y eficaz.

Background: Difficult biliary cannulation is a risk factor for post-ERCP pancreatitis. In these cases, precutting is the most used technique. Objective: To demonstrate that precut fistulotomy is safe and effective. Materials and methods: Data from May 2016 to May 2018 were reviewed. Difficult cannulation was defined as: impacted lithiasis, inadvertent cannulation of the pancreatic duct on three occasions and inability to achieve deep biliary cannulation in 3 minutes. The outcome measures were successful biliary cannulation and post-ERCP Pancreatitis. Results: Precut fistulotomy was performed in 96 cases (67 women, 29 men). The success rate of biliary cannulation was 95.8% (92/96). Eighty patients had risk factors for post-ERCP pancreatitis: 29 had 1 risk factor, 26 had 2 risk factors, 19 had 3 risk factors, and 6 had four risk factors. Ampullary risk factors of difficult cannulation: impacted stone in the papilla: 9 cases, papilla bulging: 10 cases, lower location of the hole papillary 38 cases, partial location of the papillary pore 23 and papillary orifice stenosis 16 cases. Ten patients had periampullary diverticulum, 7 patients had normal bile duct. None of the patients experienced Pancreatitis. Three patients had early bleeding, one patient had late bleeding. One patient (2%) had a fever and was hospitalized. Conclusions: In cases of difficult biliary cannulation, the precut fistulotomy is safe and effective.

Carcinoma adenoneuroendocrino mixto de la ampolla de Vater: reporte de caso / Mixed adenoneuroendocrine carcinoma of the ampulla of Vater: case report

INTRODUCCIÓN: Los carcinomas adenoneuroendocrinos mixtos (MANEC) son tipos de tumores bifásicos, reconocidos morfológicamente ante la presencia de una formación neoplásica constituida de manera simultánea por epitelio glandular y células neuroendocrinas. Dentro del tracto gastrointestinal, estas neoplasias predominan en el estómago o el colon. Solo 19 casos localizados en la ampolla de Vater han sido reportados por la literatura. OBJETIVO: Reportar un caso de MANEC; revisar la epidemiología, pronóstico y tratamiento de estos tumores. MATERIALES Y MÉTODO: Presentación de caso clínico de una paciente con diagnóstico de adenocarcinoma neuroendocrino mixto de la región ampular. DISCUSIÓN: La presentación clínica, el manejo y el pronóstico son similares al del adenocarcinoma ampular. Se diagnostican con el examen histopatológico de la muestra resecada. Ambos componentes deben ser histológicamente malignos, y cada uno de ellos debe representar al menos el 30% de la lesión. CONCLUSIÓN: Los MANEC ampulares son tumores poco comunes a nivel mundial, siendo éste el primer caso reportado en nuestro instituto.

INTRODUCTION: Mixed adenoneuroendocrine carcinomas (MANEC) are types of biphasic tumors, morphologically recognized in the presence of a neoplastic formation constituted simultaneously by glandular epithelium and neuroendocrine cells. Only 19 cases located in the ampulla of Vater have been reported in the literature. Within the gastrointestinal tract, these neoplasms predominate in the stomach or colon. AIM: Report a case of MANEC; review of the epidemiology, prognosis and treatment of these tumors. MATERIALS AND METHOD: Case presentation of a patient diagnosed with mixed adeno-neuroendocrine carcinoma of the ampullary region. DISCUSSION: The clinical presentation, management and prognosis are similar to ampullary adenocarcinoma. These tumors are diagnosed with a histopathological examination of the resected specimen. Both components must be histologically malignant, and each of them must represent at least 30% of the lesion. CONCLUSION: MANEC of the ampulla are rare tumors worldwide, being this case the first reported in our institute.

The patient diagnosed with an obstructive jaundice syndrome due to ampullary adenocarcinoma underwent Whipple surgery. She performed the postoperative period with gradual improvement, she did not present with respiratory pathology, she not have fever, the patient tolerated the oral route, the jaundice decreased and she was discharged after 13 days. She presented low-output pancreatic fistula (30 cc/day), which remitted at 3 weeks. The patient presented evident clinical improvement and satisfactory surgical results to date. Whipple surgery is the surgical technique of choice in the treatment of the ampullary adenocarcinoma and it is feasible to perform, in cases that is indicated, in bounderies hospitals if you have the trained personnel and necessary logistics.

O uso da pinça de biópsia como técnica auxiliar na visualização da papila duodenal maior utilizando-se o esofagogastroduodenoscópio de visão frontal / The use of the forceps biopsy as an auxiliary technique for the visualization of the major duodenal papilla using the foward-viewing upper endoscopy

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: - Conventional esophagogastroduodenoscopy is the best method for evaluation of the upper gastrointestinal tract, but it has limitations for the identification of the major duodenal papilla, even after the use of the straightening maneuver. Side-viewing duodenoscope is recommended for optimal examination of major duodenal papilla in patients at high risk for lesions in this region. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the use of the biopsy forceps during conventional esophagogastroduodenoscopy as an additional tool to the straightening maneuver, in the evaluation of the major duodenal papilla. METHODS: A total of 671 patients were studied between 2013 and 2015, with active major duodenal papilla search in three endoscope steps: not straightened, straightened and use of the biopsy forceps after straightening. In all of them it was recorded whether: major duodenal papilla was fully visualized (position A), partially visualized (position B) or not visualized (position C). If major duodenal papilla was not fully visualized, patients continued to the next step. RESULTS: A total of 341 were female (50.8%) with mean age of 49 years. Of the 671 patients, 324 (48.3%) major duodenal papilla was identified in position A, 112 (16.7%) in position B and 235 (35%) in position C. In the 347 patients who underwent the straightening maneuver, position A was found in 186 (53.6%), position B in 51 (14.7%) and position C in 110 (31.7%). Of the 161 remaining patients and after biopsy forceps use, position A was seen in 94 (58.4%), position B in 14 (8.7%) and position C in 53 (32.9%). The overall rate of complete visualization of major duodenal papilla was 90%. CONCLUSION: The use of the biopsy forceps significantly increased the total major duodenal papilla visualization rate by 14%, reaching 604/671 (90%) of the patients (P<0.01) and it can be easily incorporated into the routine endoscopic examination of the upper gastrointestinal tract.

RESUMO CONTEXTO: Esofagogastroduodenoscopia convencional é o melhor método para avaliação do trato gastrointestinal superior, mas apresenta limitações para identificação da papila duodenal maior, mesmo após emprego da manobra de retificação. Exame completo da papila duodenal maior está indicado para pacientes de alto risco para adenocarcinoma da papila duodenal maior. OBJETIVO: Avaliar a utilização da pinça de biópsia durante esofagogastroduodenoscopia convencional como ferramenta adicional à manobra de retificação na avaliação da papila duodenal maior. MÉTODOS: Foram estudados 671 pacientes entre 2013-2015 com busca ativa da papila duodenal maior em três etapas: endoscópio não retificado, endoscópio retificado e uso da pinça de biópsia após retificação. Em todas se registrou: se a papila duodenal maior foi totalmente visualizada (posição A), se parcialmente visualizada (posição B) ou se não visualizada (posição C). Caso a papila duodenal maior não tenha sido completamente visualizada, o paciente foi direcionado para a etapa seguinte. RESULTADOS: Um total de 341 era do sexo feminino (50,8%) com idade média de 49 anos. Dos 671 pacientes, em 324 (48,3%) a papila duodenal maior foi identificada na posição A, 112 (16,7%) em posição B e, 235 (35%) em posição C. Dos 347 pacientes submetidos à manobra de retificação, posição A foi encontrada em 186 (53,6%), posição B em 51 (14,7%) e posição C em 110 (31,7%). Dos 161 pacientes restantes que utilizaram a pinça de biópsia, posição A foi vista em 94 (58,4%), posição B em 14 (8,7%) e posição C em 53 (32,9%). A taxa acumulativa de visualização completa da papila duodenal maior foi de 90%. CONCLUSÃO: O uso da pinça de biópsia aumentou a taxa de visualização completa da papila duodenal maior em 14%, alcançando 604/671 (90%) dos pacientes (P<0,01) avaliados e pode ser facilmente incorporada aos exames endoscópicos de rotina do trato gastrointestinal superior.

Pre-operative biliary drainage in the periampullary neoplasia - a systematic review / Drenagem biliar pré-operatória na neoplasia periampular - uma revisão sistemática

ABSTRACT Introduction: Periampular neoplasms represent 5% of all cancers of the gastrointestinal tract with peak incidence in the 7th decade of life. The most common clinical picture is jaundice, weight loss and abdominal pain. Considering that cholestasis is related to postoperative complications, preoperative biliary drainage was developed to improve the postoperative morbidity and mortality of icteric patients with periampular neoplasias, whether resectable or not. Objective: To describe the outcome of patients with periampullary tumors undergoing preoperative biliary drainage with pancreatoduodenectomy. Method: The search was performed in the Medline/PubMed and Virtual Health Library databases by means of the combination of descriptors of the Medical Subject Headings. Inclusion criteria were clinical trials, cohorts, studies that analyze the morbidity and mortality of preoperative biliary drainage in Portuguese, English and Spanish. Exclusion criteria were studies published more than 10 years ago, experimental studies, systematic reviews and articles with WebQualis C or smaller journal in the area of ​​Medicine I or Medicine III. Of the 196 references found, 46 were obtained for reading with quality assessed through the Checklist Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology. Eight studies were selected for review. Results: A total of 1116 patients with a sample ranging from 48 to 280 patients and a mean age of 48 to 69 years were obtained. Of the eight studies, four observed a higher rate of bleeding in drained patients; three a higher rate of positive bile culture in the intervention group; site and cavitary infection, and biliopancreatic leaks were more common in the drainage group in two studies each. The death outcome and rate of reoperation were observed in larger numbers in the control group in one study each. Conclusion: Preoperative intervention leads to a higher rate of infectious complications and bleeding.

RESUMO Introdução : Neoplasias periampulares representam 5% de todos os cânceres do trato gastrointestinal com pico de incidência na sétima década de vida. O quadro clínico mais comum é icterícia, perda de peso e dor abdominal. Considerando que a colestase está relacionada às complicações pós-cirúrgicas, a drenagem biliar pré-operatória foi desenvolvida objetivando melhorar a morbimortalidade pós-operatória de pacientes ictéricos com neoplasias periampulares, sejam elas ressecáveis ou não. Objetivo : Descrever o desfecho de pacientes com tumores periampulares submetidos à pancreatoduodenectomia com drenagem biliar pré-operatória. Método : A busca foi realizada nas bases de dados Medline/PubMed e Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde por meio da combinação de descritores do Medical Subject Headings. Os critérios de inclusão foram ensaios clínicos, coortes, estudos que analisam a morbimortalidade da drenagem biliar pré-operatória em português, inglês e espanhol. Os critérios de exclusão foram estudos publicados há mais de 10 anos, estudos experimentais, revisões sistemáticas e artigos com revista WebQualis C ou menor na área de Medicina I ou Medicina III. Das 196 referências encontradas, 46 foram obtidas para a leitura com qualidade avaliada através do checklist Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology. Oito estudos foram selecionados para a revisão. Resultados : Obteve-se 1116 pacientes com variação de amostra de 48 a 280 pacientes e média de idade de 48 a 69 anos. Dos oito estudos, quatro observaram maior taxa de sangramento em pacientes drenados; três maior taxa de cultura de bile positiva no grupo intervenção; infecção de sítio e cavitária, além de vazamentos biliopancreáticos foram mais comuns no grupo da drenagem em dois estudos cada. O desfecho morte e a taxa de reoperação foram observados em maior quantidade no grupo controle em um estudo cada. Conclusão : A intervenção pré-operatória leva a maior taxa de complicações infecciosas e sangramentos.

Conociendo una complicación poco frecuente de la colangiopancreatografía retrógrada endoscópica / Knowing an infrequent complication of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography

Objetivo: Describir las características clínicas y tomográficas en relación a la distribución extra peritoneal de colecciones y aire seguida de perforación periampular luego de la realización de colangiopancreatografía retrograda endoscópica (CPRE) con o sin esfinterotomía. Materiales y métodos: Estudio observacional, descriptivo y transversal, en pacientes con perforación periampular, después de CPRE con o sin enfinterotomía, tratados en el Servicio de Cirugía de Páncreas del Hospital Edgardo Rebagliati Martins, Lima, Perú, entre enero del 2013 y enero del 2015. Resultados: Se incluyeron 10 pacientes con perforación periampular, después CPRE. El 40% fue de sexo masculino. La edad media fue de 47,2 años. El 100% presento dolor abdominal, el 70% fiebre, el 60% presentó ictericia, intolerancia oral y vómitos. En el 100% de los casos la indicación del procedimiento fue por litiasis coledociana. Se describe canulación difícil en el 80% de los casos. Se encontró aire o líquido en el 90% en los espacios pararrenal anterior derecho y el perirrenal derecho, y el lugar en donde se distribuyó el aire o liquido con menor frecuencia fue la pelvis extra peritoneal derecha con el 20%, en ningún caso se evidenció aire en el mediastino. Conclusiones: El hallazgo de una colección líquida y/o aire en el espacio retroperitoneal derecho, después de CPRE, sin mayor afección de la glándula pancreática, debe hacernos pensar en perforación periampular, sobre todo si se encuentra en el espacio pararrenal anterior derecho y el espacio perirrenal derecho. A esta entidad nosotros la hemos denominado bilioretroperitoneo.

Objective: Describe the clinical and tomographic characteristics in relation to the extra peritoneal distribution of collections and air in patients with periampullary perforation after performing endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) with or without sphincterotomy. Materials and methods: Observational, descriptive study in patients with periampullary perforation after ERCP with or without sphincterotomy, treated in the Pancreas Surgery Service at Edgardo Rebagliati Martins Hospital, Lima, Peru between January 2013 and January 2015. Results: Ten patients with periampullary perforation after ERCP were included. 40% were male. The mean age was 47.2 years. 100% showed abdominal pain, fever 70%, 60% had jaundice, oral intolerance and vomiting. In 100% of cases the description of the procedure was for choledocolithiasis. Difficult cannulation is described in 80% of cases. Air or fluid was found in 90% in the right anterior pararenal space and the right perirenal, and the place where air or liquid is distributed less frequently was right extraperitoneal pelvis with 20%, in no case revealed air in the mediastinum. Conclusions: The finding of a liquid collection and / or air in the retroperitoneal space right after ERCP without further involvement of the pancreatic gland should make us think of periampullary perforation, especially if you are in the right anterior pararenal space and perirenal space. This entity we call bilioretroperitoneo.

Câncer da cabeça de pâncreas / Pancreatic cancer

Objetivos: O câncer de pâncreas é normalmente diagnosticado em maiores de 40 anos e possui sua maior prevalência em pacientes ao redor dos 70 anos Apesar dos avanços da medicina, o carcinoma de pâncreas segue sendo uma doença de elevada morbimortalidade, visto que a sobrevida em 5 anos, é de aproximadamente 8%. A dificuldade de realizar a detecção precoce do câncer de pâncreas decorre do fato dessa doença não apresentar sintomas nos estágios iniciais. Na maioria dos casos, a identificação da neoplasia é feita tardiamente, o que inviabiliza o tratamento curativo. Métodos: Esse estudo constitui-se de uma revisão da literatura especializada, realizada entre os anos de 2013 e de 2017. Resultados: A neoplasia da cabeça do pâncreas tem como pilar central do seu tratamento a ressecção cirúrgica, tendo a pancreatoduodenectomia (PD) como procedimento de escolha, idealmente associado a uma terapia adjuvante e/ou neoadjuvante. Conclusões: Apesar dos progressos nos métodos de diagnóstico e terapêuticos, o carcinoma de pâncreas segue sendo uma doença de elevada morbimortalidade e de péssimo prognóstico. Dessa maneira se faz importante o entendimento da doença a fim de aprimorar as taxas de diagnóstico precoce e de implementar melhores terapêuticas.

Aims: Pancreatic cancer is usually diagnosed in older than 40 years and its prevalence peak is at the age of 70 years old. Besides the recent advances in the medical field, pancreatic carcinoma is still a disease with high morbimortality, since the mean survival in 5 years in the United States is approximately 8%. The difficulty in a early diagnosis is based on the fact that this pathology does not present relevant symptoms in early stages. Most cases present belatedly, making the curative treatment unfeasible. Methods: This study is the result of a revision from a specialized literature which has been realized between the years of 2013 and 2017. Results: Pancreas head neoplasia has the tumor resection as the main pillar of treatment. Duodenopancreatomy, is the fundamental procedure, ideally associated with a neoadjuvancy and/or adjuvancy therapy. Conclusions: Besides the medicine progress, pancreatic carcinoma is still being a disease with high morbimortality and frightful diagnosis. Therefore, the comprehension of the disease towards the improvement of diagnosis and therapeutic is imperative.

An innovative ex-vivo model for rapid change of the papilla for teaching advanced endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography procedures / Modelo ex-vivo inovador de troca rápida da papila para o ensino de procedimentos avançados na colangiopancreatografia endoscópica retrógrada

ABSTRACT Background: Models for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography training allow practice with an expert feedback and without risks. A method to rapidly exchange the papilla can be time saving and accelerate the learning curve. Aim: To demonstrate a newly method of rapid exchange papilla in ex-vivo models to teach retrograde cholangiopancreatography advanced procedures.

Manejo actual del adenoma de la ampolla de Vater / Current management of adenomas of the ampulla of Vater

A lo largo de la historia, el manejo de los tumores periampulares, malignos o benignos, ha sido la cirugía radical. Sin embargo, la gran complejidad de estos procedimientos, sus complicaciones y su alto índice de mortalidad hicieron impulsar el desarrollo de nuevas técnicas quirúrgicas mínimamente invasivas. Se presenta el caso clínico de una paciente de 55 años, con hallazgo incidental de un adenoma de la ampolla de Vater en una endoscopia de vías digestivas altas, T1N0M0, manejado con papilectomía endoscópica, sin complicaciones y con márgenes negativos en el estudio histopatológico de la pieza quirúrgica. La papilectomía endoscópica, fue reportada por primera vez por Ponchon, et al., en 1989. La presentación clínica del adenoma de la ampolla de Vater es asintomática y su diagnóstico es incidental en la endoscopia de vías digestivas altas. El diagnóstico de este tipo de neoplasia se hace teniendo en cuenta la apariencia endoscópica y la histología; por lo tanto, es vital la utilización de un duodenoscopio lateral para poder tener una evaluación completa de la papila. Es importante practicar una ultrasonografía endoscópica biliopancreática, ya que esta determina la profundidad de la lesión y, además, permite descartar adenomegalias locales o regionales. La papilectomía endoscópica es un procedimiento que requiere de manos experimentadas para disminuir el riesgo de complicaciones.

Introduction: Historically, the management of periampullary tumors, malignant or benign, has been radical surgery, starting with Alessandro Codivilla, who in 1898 described the surgical technique for the performance of pancreaticoduodenectomy. Later, in 1899, William Halsted performed the first transduodenal ampullectomy. The complexity of these procedures, the associated complications and high mortality stimulated the development of novel minimally invasive surgical techniques. Case report: Fifty five year old female with incidental finding of an adenoma of the ampulla of Vater at endoscopy of the upper digestive tract, T1N0M0, managed by endoscopic papillectomy, without complications; surgical pathology reported negative margins. Discussion: Endoscopic papillectomy was first reported by Ponchon et al in 1989. The presence of an adenoma of the ampulla of Vater remains asymptomatic and the diagnosis is an incidental finding during upper digestive tract endoscopy. The diagnosis of this neoplasm is made by the endoscopic appearance and histopathology. It is imperative to use a lateral duodenoscope in order to have full assessment of the papilla. It is also important performing pancreatic biliary endosonography, as this determines the depth of the lesion and also rules out local or regional lymphadenopathy. Endoscopic papillectomy is a procedure that requires experienced hands, to avoid complications such as perforation, cholangitis, papillary stenosis, bleeding and pancreatitis, the last two being the most common with an incidence up to 25-30%. Conclusions: Randomized clinical trials are required to substantiate the benefit of endoscopic papillectomy in malignant pathology, and also there is need to develop management guidelines.

Microbiological analysis of bile in patients with benign and malignant biliopancreatic diseases and its consequences / Análise microbiológica da bile em pacientes com doenças biliopancreáticas benignas e malignas e suas consequências

ABSTRACT Background Bactibilia has several consequences to human health. Objetive Assessing the bile microbiology of patients with biliopancreatic diseases in order to identify bacteria and their possible infectious complications. Methods Retrospective study of 30 bile culture samples from patients with benign and malignant biliopancreatic diseases. The samples were assessed to set the bile microbiological flora and to search for its possible link with comorbidity, carcinogenesis and postoperative infectious complications. Results Thirty bile samples from patients at mean age ≈57.7 years, mostly female (n=18), were assessed. Bactibilia was found in 12 cases, mostly in patients with benign diseases (n=8), older than 50 years (n=23) and female (n=10). Adenocarcinoma of the duodenal papilla (n=9) and cholelithiasis (n=8) were the most common diseases. Escherichia coli (n=5) and Klebsiella sp (n=3) were predominantly found in patients with benign diseases; and Klebsiella sp (n=2) and Streptococcus sp (n=2) were prevalent in cancer patients. There were postoperative infectious complications in seven cases, five of them in bactibilia-associated patients (P=0.084). Conclusion Bactibilia was found in 12 samples and Escherichia coli and Klebsiella sp were most often identified in patients with benign diseases, as well as Streptococcus sp and Klebsiella sp in cancer patients. There was a trend of higher postoperative infectious complication incidence in patients with bactibilia.

RESUMO Contexto Bacteriobilia pode produzir várias consequências para a saúde humana. Objetivo Avaliar a microbiologia da bile de pacientes com doenças biliopancreáticas para identificar bactérias e possíveis consequências. Métodos Estudo retrospectivo microbiológico. Trinta amostras de bile de pacientes com doenças biliopancreáticas benignas e malignas foram avaliadas para determinar a flora microbiológica da bile e procurar alguma possível relação dessa com comorbidades, carcinogênese e complicações infecciosas pós-operatórias. Resultados As amostras de bile foram avaliadas em pacientes, com idade média ≈57,7 anos, a maioria mulheres (n=18). Evidenciou-se bacteriobilia em 12 casos, a maioria em pacientes com doenças benignas (n=8); pacientes com mais de 50 anos (n=23) e mulheres (n=10). As doenças mais comuns foram o adenocarcinoma de papila duodenal (n=9) e a colelitíase (n=8). Escherichia coli (n=5) e Klebsiella sp (n=5) foram as bactérias mais identificadas em pacientes com doenças benignas; sendo a Klebsiella sp (n=2) e o Streptococcus sp (n=2) as que predominaram nos pacientes com cânceres. As complicações pós-operatórias exclusivamente infecciosas ocorreram em sete casos, sendo em cinco desses associados à bacteriobilia (P=0,084). Conclusão Bacteriobilia foi evidenciada em 12 amostras, sendo as bactérias mais identificadas Escherichia coli e Klebsiella sp em pacientes com doenças benignas; e Streptococcus sp e Klebsiella sp nos pacientes com câncer. Existiu uma tendência a maior incidência de complicações infecciosas pós-operatórias em pacientes com bacteriobilia.

Endoscopic versus surgical treatment of ampullary adenomas: a systematic review and meta-analysis

The aim of this study is to address the outcomes of endoscopic resection compared with surgery in the treatment of ampullary adenomas. A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) recommendations. For this purpose, the Medline, Embase, Cochrane, Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS), Scopus and Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) databases were scanned. Studies included patients with ampullary adenomas and data considering endoscopic treatment compared with surgery. The entire analysis was based on a fixed-effects model. Five retrospective cohort studies were selected (466 patients). All five studies (466 patients) had complete primary resection data available and showed a difference that favored surgical treatment (risk difference [RD] = -0.24, 95% confidence interval [CI] = -0.44 to -0.04). Primary success data were identified in all five studies as well. Analysis showed that the surgical approach outperformed endoscopic treatment for this outcome (RD = -0.37, 95% CI = -0.50 to -0.24). Recurrence data were found in all studies (466 patients), with a benefit indicated for surgical treatment (RD = 0.10, 95% CI = -0.01 to 0.19). Three studies (252 patients) presented complication data, but analysis showed no difference between the approaches for this parameter (RD = -0.15, 95% CI = -0.53 to 0.23). Considering complete primary resection, primary success and recurrence outcomes, the surgical approach achieves significantly better results. Regarding complication data, this systematic review concludes that rates are not significantly different.

FLUCTUATING JAUNDICE IN THE ADENOCARCINOMA OF THE AMPULLA OF VATER: a classic sign or an exception? / Icterícia flutuante em adenocarcinoma de ampola de Vater: um sinal clássico ou uma exceção?

Background Some authors consider the fluctuating jaundice as a classic sign of the adenocarcinoma of the ampulla of Vater. Objetive Assessing the frequency of fluctuating jaundice in their forms of its depiction in the patients with adenocarcinoma of the ampulla of Vater. Methods Observational and retrospective study, conducted through analyses of medical records from patients subjected to pancreatic cephalic resections between February 2008 and July 2013. The pathological examination of the surgical specimen was positive to adenocarcinoma of the ampulla of Vater. Concepts and differences on clinical and laboratory fluctuating jaundice were standardized. It was subdivided into type A and type B laboratory fluctuating jaundice. Results Twenty patients were selected. One of them always remained anicteric, 11 patients developed progressive jaundice, 2 of them developed clinical and laboratory fluctuating jaundice, 5 presented only laboratory fluctuating jaundice and one did not present significant variations on total serum bilirubin levels. Among the seven patients with fluctuating jaundice, two were classified as type A, one as type B and four were not classified due to lack information. Finally, progressive jaundice was the prevailing presentation form in these patients (11 cases). Conclusion This series of cases suggested that clinical fluctuating jaundice is a uncommon signal in adenocarcinoma of the ampulla of Vater. .

Mediante endoscopía alta se diagnosticó un adenocarcinoma bien diferenciado de ampolla de Vater. Se le practicó pancreato-duodenectomía a las 16 semanas de su embarazo sin complicaciones. Durante el seguimiento se identificó recurrencia ganglionar loco-regional 4 meses después por lo que se le realizó parto por cesárea a las 34 semanas con neonato saludable de 2500 gr. Se decidió reintervención para resección de enfermedad ganglionar la cual se realizó con éxito. Lleva 36 meses de seguimiento sin evidencia de recidiva de la enfermedad. Su hija ha tenido un desarrollo normal.

A 30 years old woman in the 13 week of her second pregnancy who had severe anemia, upper gastrointestinal bleeding and weight loss. She was given the endoscopic diagnosis of a well differentiated ampullary adenocarcinoma. She underwent a pancreato duodenectomy during the 16 week of pregnancy without complications. After 4 months of follow up we identified a ganglionar local recurrence so that´s why she underwent a cesarean in the 34 week of pregnancy. The product was a healthy 2500 gr. newborn. We decided a reoperation for the resection of the recurrence and it was carried out successfully. Currently the patient has 36 months of follow up without evidence of recurrence and her baby has a normal grow up.

Carcinoma adenoescamoso de la ampolla de Vater – una patología inusual y con pobre pronóstico / Adenosquamous carcinoma of the ampulla of Vater – an unusual neoplasia with poor prognosis

El carcinoma adenoescamoso de la ampolla de Váter es una neoplasia rara (incidencia de 1 por ciento de todas las neoplasias de la ampolla de Váter), en la que los componentes glandular y escamoso son histológicamente malignos. En el presente estudio reportamos el caso de una mujer de 61 años que presentó ictericia y dolor abdominal. Se le diagnosticó adenocarcinoma de la ampolla de Váter y fue sometida a una pancreaticoduodenectomía. Se realizó una resección, con ausencia microscópica de enfermedad residual (R0). El resultado final de patología fue un carcinoma adenoescamoso de la ampolla de Váter, T4N0Mx. Dos y medio meses después presentó recurrencia hepática múltiple, falleciendo al tercer mes de realizada la pancreaticoduodenectomía. Se hace una revisión actualizada de esta patología infrecuente y con pobre pronóstico.

Adenosquamous carcinoma of the ampulla of Vater is a rare neoplasia (1 per cent of incidence of all ampulla of Vater ´s neoplasias), in which both glandular and squamous elements are histologically malignant. In this study, we report the case of a 61 years old woman who presented jaundice and abdominal pain. The patient was diagnosed with adenocarcinoma of the ampulla of Vater and underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy. A R0 (no residual disease by microscopy) resection was performed. The final diagnosis was adenosquamous carcinoma of the ampulla of Vater, T4N0Mx. Two and one half months later she had multiple liver metastases and died 3 months after surgery. An updated review of this unusual disease and of its dismal prognosis is made.
