The Future of Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) as a Clinical and Research Tool

  • Chapter
Jaundice

Part of the book series: Hepatology ((H,volume 2))

Abstract

The initial reception of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), particularly in North America, was tinged with pessimism and skepticism (1,2). In the short span of two years, a spate of reports documenting experiences at centers throughout the world testifies to the rapid development of individual skill in the technique and to the value of ERCP in the clinical management of pancreatic and biliary tract diseases (3,4,5,6,7). Therefore, it seems appropriate to venture an estimate of the future clinical and research value of this tool so that individuals and institutions will be encouraged to invest the time and treasure necessary to master the technic. The opinion expressed here results from experience gained through more than 400 attempts at endoscopic retrograde cannulation of the papilla of Vater.
