Pancreatic stent improves the success rate of needle-knife papillotomy in patients with difficult biliary cannulation.
World J Gastroenterol
January 2025
Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital and Chang Gung University College of Medicine, Taoyuan 33305, Taiwan.
Background: Needle-knife precut papillotomy (NKP) is typically performed freehand. However, it remains unclear whether pancreatic stent (PS) placement can improve the outcomes of NKP.
Aim: To explore whether PS placement improves the success rate of NKP in patients with difficult biliary cannulation.
Haemobilia in a patient on oral anticoagulation: A surgical case report.

Introduction: Haemobilia causing obstructive jaundice is a rare complication with most occurrences reported post instrumentation e.g. endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), percutaneous transhepatic cholangioagraphy (PTC) and, trans-cystic duct exploration or due to hepatic tree pseudoaneurysms.

Article Synopsis
- This study compared two alternative techniques, transpancreatic sphincterotomy (TPS) and precut sphincterotomy (PCS), for accessing the biliary tree during difficult ERCP procedures.
- TPS showed higher successful cannulation rates (86.5%) compared to PCS (69.7%), but both were lower than the standard sphincterotomy control group (92.4%).
- Despite higher cannulation success, TPS was associated with more adverse events (24.1%) compared to PCS (18.8%) and the control group (15.5%), with increased rates of pancreatitis and perforation in the TPS group.
Biliary sepsis, characterized by contamination and infection of the biliary tract, poses a serious medical issue with detrimental effects on the patients. While cholecystectomy is the usual treatment for symptomatic gallstones, the most desirable management approach for biliary sepsis remains debated, prompting a scientific evaluation of the long-term effects of cholecystectomy. To compare the long-term outcomes of biliary sepsis in patients undergoing cholecystectomy versus conservative management (CM), this study will systematically review the existing literature to clarify differences in recurrence rates, complication rates, and overall survival.
