Needle-knife fistulotomy (NKF) is traditionally used to achieve biliary access when standard cannulation (SC) techniques are unsuccessful. Based on technical factors and the design of prior studies, the literature suggests NKF should be reserved for expert advanced endoscopists. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of NKF compared to SC for primary biliary access performed by advanced endoscopists with a range of experience including advanced endoscopy trainees.
