AB Since  the  introduction  of  endoscopic  retrograde  cholangiopancreatoscopy  (ERCP)  in  1968  and  endoscopic  sphincterotomy  in  1974,  the  management  of  various  biliary  and  pancreatic  illnesses  has  evolved  from  surgical  to  endoscopic  methods  with  substantial  improvements  in  patient  outcomes.  Additionally,  development  of  custom  accessories  has  improved  procedural  efficiency  and  success  rates;  these  include  balloons  and  baskets  for  stone  extraction,  lithotripsy  devices,  stents,  drains,  and  duodenoscope-assisted  cholangiopancreatoscopy.  In  expert  centers  success  rates  for  many  endoscopic  interventions  exceed  90%.
