| Core Tip |
We performed a retrospective analysis of 13215 endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) procedures at a single tertiary care hospital in Karachi, Pakistan. We aimed to identify the quality, safety, and efficacy of ERCP in South Asia. The findings demonstrated the dependability of ERCP in a resource-constrained environment with excellent cannulation success rates (over 93%) and a low incidence of significant problems. The findings highlighted the critical need to increase ERCP access and specialized training throughout the region to improve outcomes for individuals with pancreatobiliary illnesses. |
