ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a procedure called endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), which is often used to treat problems in the bile ducts and pancreas. ERCP combines a flexible tube with a camera (endoscope) and X-ray technology, allowing doctors to see and treat issues without needing major surgery. The trial aims to gather information about the ERCP procedures performed at one medical center, looking at factors like patient age, reasons for the procedure, any complications that may arise, and the tools used during the treatment.

To participate in this trial, you need to be at least 18 years old and scheduled for an ERCP at the ICH Gastroenterology and Digestive Endoscopy Unit. Unfortunately, individuals under 18 or those unable to give consent won’t be included. If you join, you can expect thorough monitoring during and after the procedure, as the researchers are interested in understanding both the benefits and potential risks, such as pancreatitis or other complications. Your participation will help improve future ERCP treatments and patient care.
