Rescue Needle Knife Papillotomy Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) Cannulation: Success and Complications in a Retrospective Comparative Study With Procedure Time-Matched Controls
RNKP is a highly effective rescue technique for difficult biliary cannulation, significantly increasing success rates following failed conventional SPTO cannulation, without elevating complication risks. This approach offers valuable clinical utility, especially for early-career endoscopists managing complex ERCP cases.
