Summary
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a key procedure for managing biliopancreatic diseases, although it is associated with complications such as post-ERCP pancreatitis. This study assessed the efficacy of a prophylactic protocol combining rectal indomethacin with aggressive hydration to reduce the incidence of post-ERCP pancreatitis and serum amylase and lipase levels.
