Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a procedure widely used to diagnose and treat conditions of biliary or pancreatic ductal system. The post-ERCP severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) accompanied with duodenum perforation is rare but serious, remaining a challenge in clinic. In this study we report two such cases. Two Chinese women were treated for clinical suspicion of bile duct obstruction and underwent ERCP after admission. Both developed duodenum perforation and SAP after ERCP, and were managed in the intensive care unit (ICU) and required an organ-failure support. The surgical intervention of the peri-pancreatic debridement with lumber-abdominal compound incisions and postoperative washing and drainage was performed, and the two patients recovered well. The therapeutic effect of the peri-pancreatic debridement with lumber-abdominal compound incisions combined with postoperative washing and drainage in the patients of severe post-ERCP-pancreatitis (PEP) and duodenum perforation is satisfactory.
