COMBINED ENDOSCOPIC PERCUTANEOUS RENDEZVOUS FOR BILIARY CONTINUITY… CERB THE LEAK WHEN TRADITIONAL METHODS FAIL

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Dr. Shyam Thakkar and his team present a novel method called Combined Endoscopic Percutaneous Rendezvous for Biliary Continuity (CURB) as an alternative to surgery in cases of severe bile duct injury. They discuss a specific case of a 65-year-old woman who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy and later developed complications including bile leak. Due to her unstable cardiac condition, traditional treatment options were deemed inappropriate. The CURB procedure involved a combination of percutaneous and endoscopic techniques to reestablish biliary continuity. The team successfully deployed a covered self-expanding metal stent to bridge the transected common hepatic duct. The patient's condition improved, and she was ultimately discharged without complications. The video concludes that a multidisciplinary collaboration can offer effective alternatives to surgical management in cases of severe bile duct injury.
