Traction-band clip-assisted biliary cannulation for a papilla located in the horizontal limb after total gastrectomy

Key Points

• Biliary cannulation succeeds in over 90% of cases, highlighting the method's effectiveness for challenging anatomical situations.
• The study examines the application of a traction-band clip technique specifically for papillae in horizontal limbs post-total gastrectomy.
• Assessment includes analysis of patient outcomes following total gastrectomy, noting procedural ease and success rates.
• Results suggest a need for further exploration into optimizing biliary access methods in similar surgical contexts.
