Transluminal or Percutaneous Endoscopic Drainage and Debridement of Abcesses After Bariatric Surgery

October 16, 2014 updated by: Erasme University Hospital
Patients presenting intra-abdominal abcesses following bariatric surgery complicated by fistulae are classically treated by external drainage and endoprosthesis or surgical redo. Morbidity and mortality being increased in case of necrotic collections, an endoscopic debridement treatment might be proposed in certain cases. This present study aim to review the evolution of the patients treated by this method from 2007 to 2011 in the investigators institution.

Detailed Description

This retrospective study in an academic tertiary center will review the files of patients who underwent endoscopic drainage and debridement of abdominal abscesses secondary to bariatric surgery leaks . The decision for endoscopic treatment was made by the medico-surgical team in charge of this type of surgery, who had to weigh the high risk of mortality in case of re-intervention, along with endoscopic access to abscesses via the transluminal or percutaneous route based on abdominal imaging.

Data collection will lead to the evaluation of the technical success rate, the clinical success and potential complications.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
Cases (endoscopic drainage)
Septic patients presenting post-bariatric collections related to leaks not adequately drained by percutaneous drain, for whom endoscopic drainage of the collections was performed by transluminal or percutaneous route.
Endoscopic percutaneous access was obtained through surgical drains or after ultrasound-guided percutaneous drainage with a thin scope , and transluminal procedures with large scopes through the leak hole. All the procedures were performed under general anesthesia and carbon dioxide insufflation. Debridement was done by pus aspiration and irrigation.
