Brief Title: Interventional Endoscopy Database for Pancreatico-biliary, Gastrointestinal and Esophageal Disorders
Official Title: Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography, Endoscopic Ultrasound and Interventional Endoscopy in Pancreatico-biliary, Gastrointestinal and Esophageal Disorders
Study ID: NCT01438385
Brief Summary: Our institution performs therapeutic ERCP (Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography ), Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) and Interventional Endoscopy in around 1000 patients a year. Procedures such as biliary and/or pancreatic sphincterotomy, stents placement (metallic or plastic) and removal for revision, cysts and pseudocysts drainage are conducted in patients suffering from pancreatico-biliary disorders, gastrointestinal disorders and esophageal disorders. The investigators would like to assess prospectively the efficacy and safety of these routine procedures to permit identification of technical details about the procedures or other factors which might be associated with outcome or results. Assessment of these details would help us with problem identification and recommendations to improve health outcomes and quality of life in these patients.
