Core Tip	The incidence of choledocholithiasis during pregnancy has been estimated to be 1 in 1000. Although Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) remains the gold standard for treatment of symptomatic choledocholithiasis during pregnancy, there still remain safety concerns about it use. Women who conceive at “extremes of age” are at an increased risk for complications during pregnancy. Our study supports the safety and efficacy of ERCP during the peripartum period for both mothers and their newborns. Neither advanced age nor trimester in which the procedure was performed carried a higher risk for adverse outcomes during pregnancy.
