A - ANS-Operative Report
Indications: This is a third follow-up EGD dilation on this 40 year-old patient for a pyloric channel
ulcer which has been slow to heal with resulting pyloric stricture. This is a repeat evaluation and
dilation.
Medications: Intravenous Versed 2 mg. Posterior pharyngeal Cetacaine spray.
Procedure: With the patient in the left lateral decubitus position, the Olympus GIFXQ10 was
inserted into the proximal esophagus and advanced to the Z-line. The esophageal mucosa was
unremarkable. Stomach was entered revealing normal gastric mucosa. Mild erythema was seen
in the antrum. The pyloric channel was again widened. The ulcer, as previously seen, was well
healed with a scar. The pyloric stricture was still present. With some probing, the 11 mm
endoscope could be introduced into the second portion of the duodenum, revealing normal
mucosa. Marked deformity and scarring was seen in the proximal bulb. Following the diagnostic
exam, a 15 mm balloon was placed across the stricture, dilated to maximum pressure, and
withdrawn. There was minimal bleeding post-op. Much easier access into the duodenum was
accomplished after the dilation. Follow-up biopsies were also taken to evaluate Helicobacter
noted on a previous exam. The patient tolerated the procedure well.
Impressions: Pyloric stricture secondary to healed pyloric channel ulcer, dilated.
, Plan: Check on biopsy, continue Prilosec for at least another 30 days. At that time, a repeat
endoscopy and final dilation will be accomplished. He will almost certainly need chronic H2
blocker therapy to avoid recurrence of this divesting complicated ulcer.
