Özet

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a widespread performed diagnostic and therapeutic tool for biliary and pancreatic disorders. Risk of perforation after ERCP is approximately 1%. ERCP-related perforation may be a severe lethal complication, and sometimes, it needs surgical intervention for the treatment. Surgical treatment options are based on the type, size, and location of the perforation. Here, we report a liver transplant recipient with subcutaneous emphysema, pneumomediastinum, and pneumoperitoneum after ERCP who was treated conservatively.
