Background and Objectives: Increasing application of EUSguided biliary drainage, however, does not determine the capabilities of complete EUSinvestigation of the common bile duct in patients with surgically altered upper gastrointestinal anatomy. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the specifi city and eff ectiveness of EUS for choledocholithiasis in a patient with Billroth II altered anatomy.Patient and Methods: A 61-year-old female patient underwent a Billroth II gastric resection about 25 years ago. Choledocholithiasis was diagnosed a year ago. At the present examination, the results of ultrasound and MRCP were doubtful. Gastroscopy showed the ability to intubate the afferent limb with accessible papilla. EUS was performed to decide on further patient management.Results: The common bile duct EUS-visualization was performed both from the gastric stump and from the afferent limb. The differences of intubating the afferent limb in comparison with the EGD, as well as the differences of the ultrasound picture in comparison with the traditional EUS of CBD were determined. Two CBD stones were detected by scanning from the afferent limb. ERCP was done in the same sedation session with balloon papilla dilatation and both stones lithoextraction. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed on the second day without complications. The patient was discharged from the hospital on the fifth day after surgery. Within 10 months she feels well, no complaints.Conclusions: EUS can be diagnostic method of choice for choledocholithiasis in patients with Billroth II altered anatomy if intubation of the afferent limb was confirmed endoscopically.

Abstract Background Pouch volvulus after proctocolectomy for ulcerative colitis is a very rare postoperative complication. The common site of pouch volvulus has been reported to be the ileal pouch–anal anastomosis and the middle part of the pouch, but no reports on pouch volvulus in the afferent limb of the pouch have been observed. Here, we report the case of a patient with afferent limb volvulus who underwent afferent limbpexy, but required reoperation 7 months later. Case presentation A 38-year-old man with refractory ulcerative colitis had undergone open proctocolectomy 10 years ago at another hospital. He had been aware of lower abdominal pain and bowel movement difficulty for 2 years. After repeated bowel obstruction, he was referred to our hospital for surgery. Based on the radiographic findings, we diagnosed a pouch volvulus and performed an operation. Laparoscopically, counterclockwise rotation of the afferent limb of the pouch was recognized. Moreover, the ileal mesentery was adhered and fixed to the presacral space 20 cm from the oral side of the pouch. The antimesenteric side of the afferent limb was fixed using interrupted stiches on the left peritoneal wall of the pelvis. He was discharged uneventfully 18 days after surgery, and defecation improved immediately. However, he was readmitted 7 months after surgery with the same abdominal pain and defecation difficulty. A similar finding was found and diagnosed as recurrent volvulus. Therefore, we performed a laparoscopic surgery. The same volvulus as in the previous surgery was confirmed. The site fixed during the previous surgery showed scars, but the afferent limb was free. The dilated ileum that contained the volvulus was excised only on the oral side of the pouch and an intraluminal anastomosis was performed on the anterior wall of the pouch. He had a good postoperative course and was discharged. Conclusion Proper diagnosis of volvulus based on the characteristic imaging findings is important. In principle, bilateral row fixation of the rotated ileum is the basic procedure for volvulus. However, fixation with this technique is sometimes difficult. Therefore, this procedure is one of the useful options for the fixation of difficult or recurrent cases.
