Brief Summary

Selective cannulation is an essential step for the success of ERCP. The successful cannulation is influenced by types of disease (such as Sphincter of Oddi Dysfunction and duodenal stricture), the experience of endoscopists and the anatomy of papilla. It is suggested that the size, morphology, orientation and location of major duodenal papilla (MDP), could cause a difficult cannulation (Endoscopy 2016; 48: 657-683). However, the related evidences are limited. The investigators hypothesized that special anatomy of papilla, such as a lanky shape (defined by the higher ratio of length to width) and a deeper location, could increase the difficulty of cannulation. Here the investigators investigated the effects of the anatomy of major duodenal papilla on post-ERCP pancreatitis and the procedure of cannulation in patients undergoing ERCP.

Arm && Interventions
GroupInterventionDescription
MDPMDPERCP was performed by trainees or trainers. Before the cannulation, the photo of major duodenal papilla will be taken carefully to evaluate its size, morphology, orientation and location. All patients initially received wire-guided cannulation with a sphincterotome, If cannulation failed, precut sphincterotomy or the double-wire technique was performed when appropriate. Therapeutic manipulation (eg, sphincterotomy, balloon dilation, stone extraction, and stenting) was done when appropriate. Pancreatic duct stent placement was performed at the discretion of the endoscopists.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
post-ERCP pancreatitis incidence48 hours

frequency of post-ERCP pancreatitis

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Total cannulation time3 hours

the time from the moment the sphincterotome touch the papilla to the guide wire advance into the target duct.

Rate of difficult cannulation3 hours

difficult cannulation was defined as when total cannulation time was more than 5minutes, total cannulation attempts more than 5 times or inadvertent pancreatic duct cannulation more than 1 time.

Cannulation attempts3 hours

the sphincterotome touching the papilla for at least 5 seconds will be considered as one attempt.

Unintended pancreatic duct cannulation3 hours

the guide wire unintentionally entered into the undesired pancreatic duct

Complication rate48 hours

frequency of any adverse outcome that required hospital admission or prolonged hospital stay necessary for management of the complication, including pancreatitis, bleeding, biliary infection or perforation.
