Evaluation of the success and complication rates of endoscopic retrograde cholangiography according to the difficulty of the procedure

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), is an invasive procedure with a high complication rate used in the diagnosis and treatment of pancreaticobiliary system diseases. A that grading difficulty complexity ERCP has been developed by American Society Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE). The aim study to evaluate degree procedures according ASGE its effectiveness predicting success complications procedure. total 600 patients who underwent were evaluated retrospectively. Of all procedures, 5.5% classified as 1, 46.8% 2, 39% 3, 8.6% 4. In successful cannulation was 96.3%, technical 96%, clinical 94.8%. procedure's decreased linearly need for repetition increased grade (p > .05). terms complications, there no statistical difference between 1–3 We believe will be useful practice, particularly less experienced endoscopists procedures.
