Abstract

Background: Duodenal perforation post - Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is uncommon, but if not treated well enough in time, it can have serious consequences. There are few reports that endoscopic-related duodenal perforation has been successfully treated using endoclips. Case presentation: A 63-year-old woman was referred for ERCP because of cholestatic jaundice caused by common bile duct stones. During the procedure, duodenal perforation post-ERCP was suggested. The endoscopic repair of the perforation was performed immediately using 5 endoscopic clips. Antibiotic therapy was also started and clinical and radiological follow-up was performed. Patient condition was good immediately after surgery and during hospitalization. Conclusion: Endoscopic treatment of duodenal perforation postERCP can be suggested as a treatment option in highly selected patients which may lead to a reduction in the frequency of surgical interventions.
