Technique for Salvage ERCP with Gastric Bypass Anatomy and Severe Intra-abdominal Adhesions
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Choledocholithiasis is a complex problem in patients with Roux-en-Y gastric bypass anatomy. Several techniques of biliary clearance have been described, but these can be limited by intra-abdominal adhesions. PATIENT AND METHODS: A 36-French surgical gastrostomy was created and was allowed to mature for 10 weeks. It was exchanged for a 15-mm laparoscopic surgery trocar under fluoroscopic guidance. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) was carried out using the trocar as a stable access point. Complete biliary clearance was achieved in one sitting using sphincterotomy, large-diameter biliary orifice balloon dilation, and balloon/basket sweeps. RESULTS: Total endoscopy time was 120 minutes. There were no complications associated with the procedure. The postprocedure length of stay was 2 days. The total bilirubin level at discharge was 1.2 mg/dL (20 μmol/L). CONCLUSIONS: In patients with gastric bypass anatomy and severe adhesions, successful salvage therapeutic ERCP can be achieved using a gastrostomy tract and a large-bore laparoscopy trocar for access to the defunctioned stomach.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
