Core Tip
Core tip: The utility of double-balloon endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (DB-ERC) has been widely reported, but the success rates and the examination time varied by reconstruction methods. There are no reports about DB-ERC after hepatectomy, but if the liver was resected, DB-ERC will be more difficult. We compared the elements of DB-ERC after hepatectomy or living donor liver transplantation with control group (after pancreatoduodenectomy). The success rates and incidence of adverse events were equivalent, but the insertion and procedure time were significantly longer. We discuss the difficulty of DB-ERC after hepatectomy.
