Since inception in 1968, biliary endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) has transformed into a highly effective, minimally invasive modality for the identification and treatment of a variety of biliary pathologies including benign, malignant, and iatrogenic diseases. The diagnostic role of ERCP has been largely replaced by high-quality imaging modalities including endoscopic ultrasound and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography. However, there continues to be significant demand for therapeutic procedures. This article reviews the general principles of ERCP, as well as common indications, contraindications, and potential adverse events with which endoscopists and referring physicians should be familiar.

Background: Currently, there is limited scientific evidence regarding the effectiveness of fluorescent cholangiography in emergency cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis. The primary aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of near-infrared fluorescent cholangiography (NIRF-C) in different severity degrees of acute cholecystitis.
Materials And Methods: Inclusion criteria were patients with a clinical and radiological (abdominal ultrasound and/or computed tomography) diagnosis of acute cholecystitis based on the revised 2018 Tokyo guidelines who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy within 24-72 h from the onset of symptoms and patients with ASA score of 0-3.

Purpose: The impact of body-cavity depth on open (OLR) and laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) of segment 7 remains unclear. Therefore, we investigated the influence of body-cavity depth at the upper-right portion of the abdomen on LLR and OLR of segment 7.
Methods: In total, 101 patients who underwent segment-7 liver resection over 2010-2023 were included.
