Core Tip	Multiple trials are available in literature, but still the optimal timing of precut sphincterotomy is debatable. We conducted systemic review and meta-analysis to explore the effect of early precut sphincterotomy on post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) pancreatitis with emphasis on analysis of optimal timing of precut sphincterotomy. Our meta-analysis showed that early precut sphincterotomy decreases the odds of post-ERCP pancreatitis, particularly if done within 5-10 min of failed cannulation without compromising cannulation rates or increasing other complications.
