Qualité de vie et écho-endoscopie en cas de dyspepsie ou douleur abdominale haute inexpliquée

Quality of life outcomes following endoscopic ultrasound for dyspepsia/unexplained upper abdominal pain

  • Published:
Acta Endoscopica

Résumé

Les dyspepsies ou douleurs abdominales hautes inexpliquées et négatives pour les tests conventionnels posent un problème à tous les cliniciens. La combinaison de l’écho-endoscopie et du drainage biliaire stimulé (EE/DBS) a prouvé sa valeur dans la détection de maladies vésicales, occultes par ailleurs, pour un grand nombre de ces patients. L’étude présentée ici démontre qu’un fort pourcentage de patients présentant une dyspepsie ou une douleur abdominale haute inexpliquée bénéficie d’une bonne qualité de vie et d’un soulagement de la douleur après cholecystectomie, à la suite de résultats EE/DBS positifs.

Summary

Dyspepsia or unexplained upper abdominal pain with negative conventional testing presents a challenge to all clinicians. Combined endoscopic ultrasound and stimulated biliary drainage (EUS/SBD) has proven its worth in detecting otherwise occult gallbladder disease in many of these patients. The present study demonstrates that a high percentage of patients with dyspepsia/unexplained upper abdominal pain have good quality-of-life outcomes and pain relief post-cholecystectomy, following positive EUS/SBD results.
