Bethesda Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography Skill Assessment Tool (BESAT)-Based Simulator Training Using a Novel Dry Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography Model Improves Technical Proficiency and Self-Efficacy: A Prospective Study. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Objectives Endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) is a high‐risk procedure with a steep learning curve. We previously developed a novel dry simulator capable of reproducing bleeding after an inappropriate incision. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a structured educational program using the simulator within the Bethesda Endoscopic ...

Traction-assisted Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography Using an S-O Clip for Difficult Biliary Cannulation in Billroth II Reconstruction With Tumor-associated Distortion. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in patients with surgically altered anatomy is technically challenging, especially when the papilla is poorly oriented relative to the endoscope. We report a case of traction‐assisted ERCP using an S‐O clip for difficult biliary cannulation in a patient with Billroth II reconstruction and ...
