Which scope spots more gut problems? new study investigates
NCT ID NCT05627882
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether using a forward-viewing scope during a procedure called ERCP helps doctors find more important gut problems than the usual side-viewing scope. 163 adults who needed ERCP had two back-to-back exams with different scopes. The goal was to see how often the forward scope catches issues like ulcers or bleeding that the other scope might miss.
