ERCP is an advanced endoscopic technique that combines endoscopy and fluoroscopy to diagnose and treat biliary and pancreatic duct disorders. A duodenoscope is advanced to the second portion of the duodenum to cannulate the Ampulla of Vater.

Bile duct injuries are serious complications during cholecystectomy. They can lead to significant morbidity, prolonged hospitalization, and long-term consequences. Early intraoperative recognition is crucial to minimize these risks and improve patient outcomes.

Bile duct injury remains a serious and potentially life-altering complication following cholecystectomy, whether performed laparoscopically or via an open approach.

Pr. Ivo Boškoski’s lecture at Gemelli Hospital highlights the role of interventional endoscopy in managing complex biliary diseases.

 Lecture from the webinar BDI Prevention and Management in 2024 held on February 20, 2024.

This lecture explores how surgical data science and AI can improve safety in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. It discusses the variability of procedural difficulty and the need for validated tools to guide surgeons toward achieving the Critical View of Safety.

Bile duct injury (BDI) after cholecystectomy is a serious iatrogenic complication associated with high morbidity and mortality.
