Özet

Background: Sump syndrome is one of the rare long-term complications of side-to-side choledochoduodenostomy (CD) leading to attacks of cholangitis due to accumulation of food and debris in the common bile duct distal to the anastomosis is one of the rare long-term complications after CD. Methods: Fifteen patients treated with the Sump syndrome in our institution between 1996 and 2023 were retrospectively evaluated for long-term outcome. Results: Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) with sphincterotomy and bile duct clearance was done in 11 patients, while four were subjected to revisional surgery in the form of a Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy. No complications were recorded. There were 5 (38%) recurrences in a median follow-up period of 8 years (10 months-23 years). Of those, 3 patients were treated surgically and two with repeat ERCP. None of the patients developed any cholangiocarcinoma during follow-up. Conclusion: We conclude that although a high recurrence rate was observed, endoscopic treatment may be a valid approach in the treatment of Sump syndrome, with revisional surgery in the form of a Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy as salvage therapy in recurrences.
