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 ...

Balloon Enteroscopy-assisted Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography for Choledocholithiasis in Situs Inversus Totalis With Billroth II Reconstruction: A Case Report and Literature Review. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in patients with situs inversus totalis (SIT) and Billroth II reconstruction is technically challenging because of mirror‐image anatomy, altered access to the papilla, and inverted papillary orientation.
