Background and Aims
Precut sphincterotomy, usually performed after prolonged and failed cannulation, is considered a risk factor for post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP). There are limited studies on primary needle-knife precut for the prevention of PEP. The aim of this study was to assess the safety and efficacy of primary precut.
Methods
A randomized controlled trial was conducted in a tertiary care setting on patients who underwent ERCP. Patients were randomized to very early precut (group A, precut after 2 failed attempts of wire-guided sphincterotome cannulation) and primary precut (group B, direct needle-knife precut). All procedures were done by an experienced endoscopist. The primary outcome of the study was to compare the incidence of PEP between the 2 groups.
Results
Three hundred three patients were randomized to group A (n = 152, age 48.2 ± 15.4 years, 61 men) and group B (n = 151, age 46.7 ± 13.8 years, 65 men). There was no significant difference in baseline characteristics and indications for ERCP between the 2 groups. Development of PEP (5.2% vs .67%; P = .04) and asymptomatic hyperamylasemia (12.5% vs 2.6%; P = .01) were lower in group B compared with group A. The bile duct cannulation time (13.8 ± 2.2 vs 7.2 ± 1.7 minutes; P = .001) was lower in group B, whereas the overall cannulation success rate (98% vs 98.6%; P = 1.0) was similar in both the groups.
Conclusions
Primary precut by an experienced endoscopist results in low risk of PEP. (Clinical trial registration number: CTRI/2017/08/009510.)

早期预切与初次预切括约肌切开术以减少 ERCP 术后胰腺炎:随机对照试验(附视频)
背景和目标
预切括约肌切开术,通常在长时间插管失败后进行,被认为是 ERCP 术后胰腺炎 (PEP) 的危险因素。关于预防 PEP 的初级针刀预切的研究有限。本研究的目的是评估初级预切的安全性和有效性。
方法
在三级医疗机构对接受 ERCP 的患者进行了一项随机对照试验。患者被随机分配至极早期预切(A 组,2 次线引导括约肌切开插管失败后的预切)和初次预切(B 组,直接针刀预切)。所有程序均由经验丰富的内镜医师完成。该研究的主要结果是比较两组之间 PEP 的发生率。
结果
303 名患者被随机分配到 A 组(n = 152,年龄 48.2 ± 15.4 岁,61 名男性)和 B 组(n = 151,年龄 46.7 ± 13.8 岁,65 名男性)。两组的基线特征和 ERCP 指征无显着差异。与 A 组相比,B 组的 PEP(5.2% 对 0.67%;P = .04)和无症状性高淀粉酶血症(12.5% 对 2.6%;P = .01)的发生率较低。胆管插管时间(13.8 ± 2.2 B 组与 7.2 ± 1.7 分钟相比;P = .001)较低,而两组的总体插管成功率(98% 对 98.6%;P = 1.0)相似。
结论
由经验丰富的内镜医师进行初步预切可降低 PEP 的风险。(临床试验注册号:CTRI/2017/08/009510。)
