Abstract in brief

Selective biliary cannulation (SBC) is a key challenge in endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for trainees, and this study evaluates the effectiveness of a rotatable sphincterotome versus a conventional one.
The trial involved 200 patients assigned to either the rotatable sphincterotome group or the conventional group, measuring the success rate of SBC within 10 minutes as the primary endpoint.
Results showed no significant difference in SBC success rates or post-ERCP pancreatitis between the two groups, but the orientation of the papilla was found to significantly impact the difficulty of cannulation for trainees.

Sometimes devices help but many times it's getting the papilla to be in the right place... Nice French study @endoscopyjrnl #ercpskills https://t.co/adtG8bJBYe https://t.co/TFh6d55y0g
