A new Papillotomy Performance Scoring Scale was developed and applied. This scale effectively stratified the quality of biliary papillotomy performance based on expert consensus regarding the cut axis.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Endoscopic Procedures
  • Surgical Quality Assessment

Background:

  • Currently, no standardized Papillotomy Performance Scoring Scale is available.
  • Assessing the quality of biliary papillotomy is crucial for patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel Papillotomy Performance Scoring Scale.
  • To apply this scale to stratify the quality of recorded biliary papillotomies.

Main Methods:

  • Expert biliary endoscopists defined criteria for a 'perfect' biliary papillotomy, focusing on cut axis and complications.
  • A scoring scale was created based on expert opinion regarding wire alignment and cut orientation.
  • Experienced and trainee endoscopists applied the scale to score recorded papillotomies.

Main Results:

  • Experts reached a consensus that a 'perfect' biliary papillotomy involves a single cut along the distal bile duct and papilla axis.
  • The developed scoring scale successfully stratified recorded papillotomies based on mean final combined scores.
  • Stratification revealed significantly different performance levels, validating the scale's utility.

Conclusions:

  • A scoring scale for papillotomy performance, based on expert opinion and focusing on the cut axis, can be reliably constructed.
  • The developed scale demonstrates potential for objectively assessing and stratifying the quality of biliary papillotomy procedures.
  • This tool may aid in improving endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) training and practice.
