Abstract

Objectives: Diagnostic and therapeutic interventions in the biliary and pancreatic system in the previously operated patient, such as BII-situation and biliodigestive anastomosis, by conventional ERCP are difficult and in many cases unsuccessful. We describe our experience of ERCP performed with a double balloon enteroscope (DBE) as an alternative examination technique for these patients. Methods: Double balloon enteroscopy was introduced in the Department of Medicine B in November 2004. From November 2004 until the end of March 2008 1080 double balloon enteroscopies and 2050 ERCP's have been performed.
