Background: Management of choledocholithiasis in patients with Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery is challenging. This study aims to compare technical success rates, adverse events, and procedural time between 3 current approaches: endoscopic ultrasound-directed transgastric Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) (EDGE), enteroscopy-assisted ERCP (E-ERCP), and laparoscopic-assisted ERCP (LA-ERCP).
Methods: A systematic search of 5 databases was conducted.

Background/aims: Selective bile duct or pancreatic duct cannulation remains a significant initial hurdle in endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) despite advances in endoscopy and accessories. This study evaluated our experience with a rotatable sphincterotome in cases of difficult cannulation.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed ERCP cases using TRUEtome, a rotatable sphincterotome, as a rescue device for cannulation at a cancer institute in Japan from October 2014 to December 2021.

Lasers emit highly directional light with consistent wavelengths, and recent studies have demonstrated their successful applications in gastrointestinal endoscopic therapy. Although argon plasma coagulators (APC) became the preferred treatment option due to improved safety profile and lower costs, advancements in laser and optic fiber manufacturing have reignited interest in laser treatment. Different laser wavelengths have distinct features and applications based on their tissue absorption coefficient.
