Eligibility

Age
No minimum to 100 Years

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Patients with indication for ERCP with papillary papillotomy without previous papillotomy Older than 18 years Agreement with the consent form Selective cannulation of the biliary tract through the major duodenal papilla

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Non-acceptance of the consent form Previous papillotomy Incorrigible coagulopathy Need for cannulation of the biliary tract by advanced modalities: Fistula; Precut, transpancreatic sphincterotomy Surgical history that does not allow endoscopic access to the biliary tract (Billroth II, Roux-en-Y gastrectomy, etc.)

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Primary outcome: pancreatitis (diagnosis by amylase values greater than 3 times the reference value and clinical evaluation with new characteristic abdominal pain). It will be stratified by the Cotton criteria for post-ERCP acute pancreatitis.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
We will evaluate the following secondary outcomes: bleeding (serial hematimetric indices - bleeding will be considered to be a hemoglobin drop of at least 1g / dL or exteriorization such as melena, hematochezia or hematemesis), perforation (diagnosis by endoscopic visualization or clinical evaluation and pneumoperitoneum imaging if cholangitis (clinical evaluation with fever T > 37,8 degrees - and discharge of purulent bile secretion).
