Abstract

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) has revolutionized the diagnostic and therapeutic management of both biliary and pancreatic pathology. The use of per oral cholangioscopy with the use of mother-daughter and single operator cholangioscopy allows for directed biopsies and directed treatment of biliary disease. Further advances in imaging to include intraductal ultrasound, narrowband imaging, and confocal microscopy will expand the diagnostic ability of advanced ERCP. Advanced ERCP techniques will continue to advance the diagnostic and treatment of biliary and pancreatic disease into the future.
