ERCP-TECHNICAL ENDOSCOPIC CHALLENGES IN SITUS INVERSUS TOTALIS

TECHNICAL ENDOSCOPIC CHALLENGES IN SITUS INVERSUS TOTALIS

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Mohammad Talal Sarmini discusses the technical challenges encountered during endoscopic procedures in patients with situs inversus totalus, a rare congenital condition where the organs are completely inverted. The video presents a case of a 64-year-old female with situs inversus who presented with abdominal pain, acolyte stools, and jaundice. Imaging revealed a pancreatic mass, gallbladder wall thickening, and biliary dilation. The video demonstrates the reversed anatomy during endoscopy, showing the mirrored positions of the pylorus and duodenum. Despite the challenges, the endoscopist successfully performed an ERCP to address the biliary obstruction, and cytology results confirmed cholangiocarcinoma.
