Article Synopsis
- Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) has become an essential tool in diagnosing and treating gastrointestinal diseases, with the author performing over 10,100 procedures since 1982.
- The recognition of various clinical syndromes, including hepatobiliary and pancreatic ascariasis and recurrent pyogenic cholangitis, has emerged from extensive studies using ERCP as a diagnostic method.

Consequently, neurosurgery departments experienced a decline in case volumes and greater educational time being spent on virtual research projects. In our report, we reveal how neurosurgical research has changed during the pandemic compared to the pre-pandemic phase.

However, systematic syntheses of these articles are lacking. In this report, a systematic review and meta-analysis was performed to evaluate whether SWE and MRE can predict meningioma and glioma grades.
