Özet

Purpose:Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreaticography (ERCP) is performed for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes in patients with pancreaticobiliary diseases. We investigated the role of simethicone and concomitant otilonium bromide during ERCP.Patients and Methods:This prospective randomized study included 120 patients who underwent ERCP (study and control group=60 patients each). The study group received otilonium bromide and simethicone. The control group received no medication.Results:The quantity of duodenal foam and bubbles in the study group was significantly lesser than that in the control group. The duodenal motility score was 2.1±0.7 and 4.3±0.9 in the study and the control groups, respectively. Endoscopist satisfaction was good in 82%, moderate in 15%, and poor in 3% of ERCPs in the study group and good in 15%, moderate in 65%, and poor in 25% of ERCPs in the control group. The study group showed a shorter ERCP duration than the control group.Conclusions:Simethicone and otilonium bromide administered concomitantly reduce duodenal motility and foam/bubble formation, which facilitates papilla of Vater catheterization to reduce procedure time.
