Core Tip	Perforation is one of the most feared com-plications of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopan-crea-tography (ERCP) and endoscopic sphincterotomy. The incidence of ERCP-related perforations is low (0.39%) with an associated mortality of 7.8%. Endoscopic sphincterotomy is responsible for 41% of perforations and endoscope manipulations for 26%. The mechanism, site and extent of injury, suggested by clinical and radiographic findings, should guide towards operative or non-operative management. Classification into types permits a tailored approach to management. Whilst surgery is usually indicated in patients with type I injuries, patients with type II or III injuries should be treated initially non-operatively. A minority of them will finally require surgical intervention.
