Purpose: Laparoscopy-assisted transgastric endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (LAERCP) is an alternative for the anatomically challenging conventional ERCP in patients with a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) as it allows access to the biliary tree via the gastric remnant.

The aim of this study was to assess the long-term evolution of liver bio-chemistries during prolonged treatment with UDCA in biochemically non-advanced PBC.
