Cannulation of the papilla of Vater by endoscopy and retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).
TLDR
This review concerns the rapidly increasing world experience, with particular regard to technical problems, clinical relevance, and safety of fibreoptic duodenoscopes.Abstract:
New fibreoptic duodenoscopes allow an experienced endoscopist to visualize and cannulate the papilla of Vater in conscious patients with at least an 80% chance of achieving retrograde cholangiopancreatography-a technique with obvious diagnostic potential. The historical aspects have already been adequately covered.'-4 This review concerns the rapidly increasing world experience, with particular regard to technical problems, clinical relevance, and safety.read more

Association of preoperative biliary drainage with postoperative outcome following pancreaticoduodenectomy.
TL;DR: It is suggested that preoperative biliary drainage should be avoided whenever possible in patients with potentially resectable pancreatic and peripancreatic lesions, and such a change in current preoperative management may improve patient outcome after pancreaticoduodenectomy.

Biliary drainage in patients with unresectable, malignant obstruction where ERCP fails: endoscopic ultrasonography-guided choledochoduodenostomy versus percutaneous drainage

TL;DR: EUS-CD can be an effective and safe alternative to PTBD with similar success, complication rate, cost, and quality of life in patients with unresectable malignant biliary obstruction.

TL;DR: The first laparoscopic approach was developed by Jacobeus as mentioned in this paper, who took the existing Nitze cystoscope and applied it to intrabdominal examinations in patients with ascites.

Endoscopic manometry of pancreatic and biliary sphincter zones in man. Basal results in healthy volunteers.
TL;DR: In this paper, an endoscopic manometric technique was applied to the study of intraductal biliary and pancreatic pressures and sphincter activity in normal subjects.

TL;DR: The EUS-BD technique is currently limited by a lack of dedicated devices and large data reporting outcomes and complications, so larger prospective and multicenter studies are needed to better define the indications, outcomes, and complications.

TL;DR: The abnormalities on endoscopic pancreatograms are very variable in this condition, but the procedure may well prove valuable in evaluating the severity of chronic pancreatitis.

Retrograde pancreatography and cholangiography by fiber duodenoscope.
TL;DR: Under direct vision a fiber duodenoscope was inserted into the descending part of the duodenum of patients under general anesthesia and changes in the ampulla of Vater caused by disease were studied radiographically.

TL;DR: It is believed that dissolution of the latter as an etiological agent of a critical postoperative complication can be effected by more thorough knowledge of the surgical anatomy of the region involved, as suggested by the marked variation of anatomical relationships observed during this study.

TL;DR: The Olympus JFB fiber-duodenoscope has been used in sixty sedated hospital patients with undiagnosed persistent jaundice, recurrent biliary-tract symptoms, or suspected pancreatic disease as discussed by the authors.
