“…Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a valuable procedure which combines endoscopy and fluoroscopy for the management of pancreatobiliary diseases . It was first performed in 1968 by McCune, Shorb, and Moscovitz and few years later ERCP with sphincterotomy and removal of a common bile duct stone was reported in 1974 . ERCP is currently an established procedure in the field of therapeutic digestive endoscopy.…”

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a combination of endoscopy and fluoroscopy that is commonly used in the management of pancreatobiliary diseases. ERCP can be challenging if performed in surgically altered anatomy, such as a Billroth II reconstruction, compared with native anatomy and usually has a lower success rate. We identified five emerging challenges in such patients. These are the choice of endoscope, the identification of afferent loop, reaching the duodenal stump, cannulation in the reverse position, and endoscopic sphincterotomy. Performing ERCP in patients with a Billroth II reconstruction needs adequate knowledge, proper skill, and experience to achieve a good clinical outcome.
