Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) without fluoroscopy for the treatment of choledocholithiasis during pregnancy: Report of 2 cases. Rev. colomb. Gastroenterol. [online]. 2021, vol.36, n.3, pp.391-397.  Epub Jan 26, 2022. ISSN 0120-9957.  https://doi.org/10.22516/25007440.667.

Biliary lithiasis is a common condition in pregnant women, and complications related to gallstones during pregnancy can lead to adverse outcomes in both the mother and the fetus. Choledocholithiasis during pregnancy requires an adequate diagnostic approach to minimize the risks of medical interventions. The following are two cases of pregnant women with choledocholithiasis diagnosed using magnetic resonance cholangiography. Treatment included a combination of endoscopic ultrasound and retrograde endoscopic cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) without fluoroscopy, achieving the resolution of choledocholithiasis, without exposing the fetus to ionizing radiation, confirming the permeabilization of the common bile duct, and observing an adequate postoperative evolution of both the mother and the fetus.

Keywords : Choledocholithiasis; Pregnancy; Retrograde Endoscopic Cholangiopan-creatography (ERCP); Endosonography.
