ENDOSCOPIC BRAUN ENTERO ENTEROSTOMY FOR MANAGEMENT OF SEVERE BILE ACID REFLUX POST WHIPPLE SURGERY

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In the video transcript, endoscopic interventions for managing bile acid reflux post-Whipple surgery are discussed. Bile acid reflux can lead to complications like bile acid gastropathy and delayed gastric emptying, with surgery sometimes necessary after failed medical management. A 62-year-old female with severe bile reflux symptoms underwent an EUS-guided enteroenterostomy procedure as an alternative to surgery. The procedure involved creating an anastomosis to redirect bile flow from the afferent limb to the efferent limb, alleviating symptoms. Postoperative follow-ups showed significant improvement without complications. The minimally invasive endoscopic approach proved effective in managing severe bile reflux post-Whipple surgery, offering an alternative to traditional surgical interventions.
