The research aims to evaluate the success rate of difficult biliary cannulation and the effectiveness of rescue techniques during ERCP.
Examined cases of biliary cannulation at a tertiary referral center
Defined difficult cannulation by >5 attempts or >5 minutes
Analyzed outcomes, techniques, and complication rates
Biliary cannulation was successful in 105 cases (77.78%)
Precut sphincterotomy was used in 98 patients (72.6%)
Bleeding occurred in 16 cases (12%) with no significant age or complication differences (p=0.1488)
