Over 14,000 endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatographies are performed in Hungary annually, and approximately 1400 patients are calculated to develop pancreatititis including 10 cases with fatal outcome. This article reviews the recent and relevant literature and presents a practical guide based on the authors' own experience for the prevention of pancreatitis following endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. The authors emphasize the importance of careful consideration of indications, analysis of risk factors, avoiding unnecessary diagnostic intervention, a decrease of the attempts for cannulation, early precut, implantation of pancreatic stent in high risk patients, administration of rectal indomethacin or diclofenac, and adequate intravenous fluid replacement.

Introduction: Reports of pseudoaneurysms associated with biliary self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS) placement have been increasing. Recently, cases of hepatic pseudoaneurysm rupture caused by double pigtail plastic stents (DPS) have also been reported. The symptoms of pseudoaneurysms are often non-specific, and many cases are diagnosed only after rupture.

Background: Pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma (PACC) is a rare subtype of pancreatic cancer and the clinicopathological behavior of PACC is not yet fully understood. PACC rarely invades the main pancreatic duct (MPD), which causes intraductal growth. Thus, herein, we have reported a rare case of PACC that invaded the MPD and disseminated to the branches of the pancreatic duct (BDs) without exhibiting any continuity with the main tumor.

Purpose: To determine if endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) should be performed with surgery or as a different step, on acute cholecystitis, and which strategy has the least complications and morbimortality.
Methods: Various databases (PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, Science Direct, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, CINAHL, Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature, clinical trials, Google Scholar) were searched for randomized trials comparing the different timings for ERCP and cholecystectomy. No language or time restrictions were applied.

Introduction: Periampullary diverticulum (PAD) is frequently discovered in patients undergoing endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Studies have yielded conflicting results regarding its impact on the technical success of ERCP and post-ERCP complications.
Aim: This study aims to assess the success and safety of ERCP in patients with PAD.
