Performance measures for small-bowel endoscopy: a European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) Quality Improvement Initiative.

abstract：:Despite advances in imaging and device technology over the past decade, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) continues to be one of the most technically challenging interventions in endoscopy. The procedure remains compounded by two persistent problems: failure of successful biliary cannulation and po...
