Core Tip	Biliary cannulation remains a technically demanding but essential component of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, with success depending not only on operator expertise but also on careful selection and timely escalation of techniques. Knowledge of the risks and benefits of approaches ranging from wire-guided cannulation to precut and pancreatic duct-assisted methods is critical for minimizing complications such as post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography pancreatitis, bleeding, and perforation.
