True Rate of Post-ERCP Pancreatitis: Do Randomized Trials Provide the Answer?
Pancreatitis after ERCP is one of the most common and morbid adverse events following any gastrointestinal endoscopy procedure. It is imperative that the consent process

On Balance, Benefit of Sphincterotomy for Biliary Stenting Appears to Outweigh the Risk
Limited reports have suggested that endoscopic biliary sphincterotomy (ES) at the time of transpapillary biliary stent placement may reduce the risk of post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP).

Deep access to the bile duct or the pancreatic duct is required in order to complete all subsequent therapeutic ERCP maneuvers. Precut sphincterotomy (PCS) refers

Post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP) remains an important adverse event. Indomethacin suppositories and pancreatic duct (PD) stents have both been demonstrated to reduce PEP in patients at

The application of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as indometacin or diclofenac to prevent post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP) has been examined in several randomized trials throughout
