Early experience with endoscopic sphincterotomy in 13 patients is recorded. Sphincterotomy was successfully carried out in 11 patients. The only complication noted was a haemorrhage in 1 case, for which the patient required 1 unit of blood. Routine endoscopy and extraction of residual calculi by means of a balloon catheter or Dormia basket have not been practised. Instead, an expectant policy is being put to the test, and patients are followed up chiefly by means of intravenous cholangiography. The anatomical basis of endoscopic sphincterotomy is discussed in detail, and a plea is made for standard terminology.

Department of Gastroenterology, Harran University Faculty of Medicine, Şanlıurfa, Türkiye.
Background/aims: Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is an essential diagnostic and therapeutic method for pancreato-biliary disorders in adults, but its use in pediatric populations remains limited. This study aims to evaluate the indications, technical success, and safety of ERCP in pediatric patients.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective analysis of all ERCP procedures performed on patients under 18 years of age was conducted at 2 tertiary centers in Türkiye (Harran University and Gaziantep University Hospital) during the period between January 2013 and May 2024.
High-volume lactated Ringer's solution with human albumin versus standard-volume infusion as a prophylactic treatment for post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography pancreatitis: randomized clinical trial.

Department of Surgery, Faculty of Medicine Vajira Hospital, Navamindradhiraj University, Bangkok, Thailand.
Background: Adverse events after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) are rare, and post-ERCP pancreatitis is a serious adverse event. This study aimed to determine the role of aggressive intravenous hydration with lactated Ringer's solution at a specific volume with 20% human albumin before ERCP in reducing the incidence of post-ERCP pancreatitis.
Methods: This study was a single-centre randomized clinical trial.

Background: Congenital biliary dilatation (CBD) is a congenital malformation of the main biliary tract usually associated with the pancreatobiliary maljunction (PBM), determining stone formation, cholangitis, pancreatitis, and cholangiocarcinoma. The role of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in treatment and diagnosis has not been established yet. Therefore, the aim of our study is to define the actual role of ERCP in children with CBD.

Biliopleural fistula (BF) is an uncommon complication that can occur after liver transplantation (LT). This condition, characterized by pleural biliary effusion, can lead to severe complications, particularly in immunocompromised patients. In this report, we present a clinical case detailing the successful treatment of BF following an adult-to-adult left lobe living donor LT (LDLT).
