Abstract

Highlight Nakadai and colleagues report a case of successful endoscopic biliary drainage in a patient with rare surgically altered anatomy after undergoing Roux-en-Y reconstruction twice. Balloon enteroscopy-assisted endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography can be the first choice for patients with such complex surgically altered anatomy, especially in those without biliary dilation.
