EUS-GUIDED MANAGEMENT OF POST-SURGICAL INJURY USING LAMS IN PATIENTS WITH BILIARY TRACT STRICTURES

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses the use of EUS-guided management using lamps in patients with post-surgical biliary tract strictures. It includes two case studies of young adult females who experienced complications after cholecystectomy. The first patient underwent EUS-guided antigrade drainage using lamps, while the second patient underwent EUS-guided hepaticoduodenostomy. Both procedures were successful with no reported complications. Follow-up showed significant improvements in bilirubin levels. The video concludes by highlighting the potential benefits of EUS-guided management using lamps as a safe and effective alternative for patients with iatrogenic biliary strictures, although further research is needed to evaluate its clinical application.
