Summary

The use of interventional endoscopy of the biliary and pancreatic ducts has increased dramatically in recent years. Although choledocholithiasis is the most common reason for endoscopic treatment, other indications include pancreatolithiasis, cholangitis, biliary pancreatitis, papillary stenosis, sphincter of Oddi dysfunction, and benign or malignant ductal strictures. The Guest Editor has assembled an issue full of expert authors to present state-of-the art information biliary and pancreatic endoscopy procedures and techniques.
