Summary

This study looked at 163 adults having a procedure called ERCP, which examines the bile and pancreatic ducts. Doctors used two different scopes one after the other to see if a forward-viewing scope finds more important problems (like ulcers or bleeding) than the usual side-viewing scope. The goal was to learn which tool helps doctors catch more issues that change how a patient is treated.
