Key Points
RNKP achieved a total success rate of 99.1% in difficult biliary cannulation cases, surpassing traditional methods.
The outcomes revealed no significant differences in complications such as cholangitis or pancreatitis between RNKP and sphincterotomy.
This observational study evaluated the effectiveness of RNKP compared to sphincterotomy for ERCP in a UAE hospital setting.
The technique offers a valuable approach for early-career endoscopists handling complex cannulation scenarios.
