| Abstract | Background: There are ongoing concerns about the safety of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in children, as recorded cases have shown complications. Objectives: The objective of this study is to investigate the indications, complications, and outcomes of ERCP in pediatric patients. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at Namazi and Abu Ali Sina Hospitals between September 2022 and December 2023. The study focused on pediatric patients aged 1 month to 18 years undergoing ERCP. The demographics, indications for ERCP, pre-procedural imaging findings, and complications within 72 hours and up to 6 months after ERCP were extracted from medical records. Results: During the study period, a total of 100 ERCP procedures were performed on 56 pediatric patients. The mean age of the patients was 10.22 ± 4.80 years, with females accounting for 53.6% of the group. The main indications for performing ERCP were the presence of a stricture after orthotopic liver transplantation (22%) and the presence of a common bile duct stone (19%). The incidence of complications was notable for acute pancreatitis (3%) and bleeding (2%), while the failure rate for ERCP operations was determined to be 4%. Conclusions: The infrequent occurrence of failures and complications highlights the substantial benefit of ERCP in treating biliary and pancreatic illnesses in children. | en |
