Results of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography procedures at surgical clinics: A multicenter observational study in Türkiye
There is a huge shortage of ERCP endoscopists worldwide due to insufficient ERCP training and centers especially in developing and underdeveloped countries. As patients requiring ERCP usually present to surgical practitioners, the incorporation of surgeons into this training program is an effective and reliable solution. The BSG recommends the incorporation of surgeons and radiologists in addition to gastroenterology specialists. This study is the first to present the results of ERCP procedures from fourteen surgical centers throughout Türkiye. The results suggest that the surgical centers included were able to achieve the targets set by the BSG. This study demonstrated that the surgical ERCP units in the present work have reached satisfactory results and provided a reliable and successful ERCP service. There are currently no issues regarding the validity and appropriateness of the surgeons performing ERCP. Therefore, ERCP training should be encouraged in surgeons and more surgical ERCP centers should be provided.
