Advances in Diagnosis and Treatment With Cholangiopancreatoscopy
ABSTRACT Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) remains the standard for diagnosing and treating pancreatobiliary diseases. Although non‐invasive imaging modalities have significantly improved, ERCP continues to play an indispensable role in clinical practice. However, ERCP has inherent limitations. Diagnostic challenges persist in cases
