Very excited to share our recently published research on ERCP in pediatrics! This is an emerging practice, and we hope our 17-year experience will provide guidance for endoscopists and families for whom this procedure is offered.

ERCP is increasingly utilized in pediatrics. We used a large database to assess ERCP trends in the US. We hope this paper helps to show the safety of this procedure in children and highlights demographic groups that most frequently experience complication. Take a look!
