Background: Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography is a challenging procedure involving bile duct cannulation. Despite the development of several cannulation devices, none have effectively facilitated the procedure.
Aim: To evaluate the efficacy of a recently developed catheter for bile duct cannulation.

Background And Aims: Difficult biliary cannulation (DBC) is a marker for prolonged procedure time and increased adverse event rate (AER) during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). We previously showed that EUS-guided rendezvous procedure (EUS-RV) had a higher single session success rate than precut papillotomy (PcP) in DBC patients. The present randomized study aims at comparing the technical success and AER between the two approaches.

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.
Background: Stone impaction is an obstacle to successful laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE). This study aims to identify the incidence, operative difficulties and techniques used to disimpact and remove impacted stones during LCBDE.
Methods: Prospectively collected data from a large series of LCBDE.
