Abstract
- Choledocholithiasis carries a risk of developing biliary obstruction, acute cholangitis, and pancreatitis. Therefore, removal is recommended even in asymptomatic patients. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is regarded as the standard of treatment for choledocholithiasis nowadays. However, ERCP can accompany severe complications such as bleeding, ERCP-associated pancreatitis, cholangitis, and perforations. It is important for endoscopists to know how to remove choledocholithiasis effectively while minimizing adverse events. In this review, we will go over the technical aspects and various accessories to effectively remove choledocholithiasis.
