Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and endoscopic sphincterotomy have advanced biliary and pancreatic disorder treatments. Further trials are needed to clarify the roles of newer endoscopic techniques, emphasizing collaborative care.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology and Hepatobiliary Medicine
  • Minimally Invasive Surgical Techniques

Background:

  • Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) have been pivotal since the 1970s.
  • Established endoscopic procedures include EST for gallstones and stenting for biliary strictures.
  • The utility of other advanced endoscopic techniques requires further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the evolution and current applications of endoscopic techniques in biliary and pancreatic disorders.
  • To highlight the need for prospective randomized clinical trials for less established endoscopic procedures.
  • To emphasize the complementary roles of endoscopic and transhepatic approaches and multidisciplinary management.

Main Methods:

  • Review of established and emerging endoscopic diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.

  • Discussion of clinical applications, including post-cholecystectomy stones and biliary strictures.
  • Emphasis on comparative effectiveness and the need for clinical trials.

    • Main Results:

    • Certain endoscopic procedures, like EST, are standard for specific conditions.
    • The efficacy of newer endoscopic interventions remains to be definitively established through rigorous trials.
    • Endoscopic and transhepatic approaches should be viewed as complementary, not competitive.

    Conclusions:

    • Endoscopic techniques have significantly advanced the management of biliary and pancreatic diseases.
    • Prospective randomized trials are crucial for evaluating the place of newer endoscopic methods.
    • Optimal management of complex biliary issues necessitates a collaborative approach involving endoscopists, radiologists, and surgeons.
