Place of EUS and ERCP in the Management of Biliopancreatic diseases Advanced Course

Place of EUS and ERCP in the Management of Biliopancreatic diseases Advanced Course

This course focuses on diagnostic EUS and the role of endoscopy (ERCP, EUS) in biliopancreatic diseases. It covers normal anatomy, indications, EUS-guided tissue sampling (FNA/FNB), complications, results, and therapeutic impact. EUS is now essential for both the diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal diseases.

Particular attention will be given to pancreatic cancer, cholangiocarcinoma, and acute and chronic pancreatitis, highlighting the role of ERCP, cholangioscopy, and EUS in their management. Through diverse clinical scenarios, participants will gain practical insight into modern endoscopic approaches to digestive diseases.
