N2 - These are exciting times for interventional endoscopists performing ERCP. The advent of noninvasive, diagnostic techniques of the pancreaticobiliary tree has resulted in a shift toward more therapeutic procedures. The combination of major technologic advances together with endoscopists' growing comfort with invasive procedures has helped to push the boundaries of endoscopic therapy. These therapies, however, should always be sanctioned by sound science and well-controlled clinical trials.
