Abstract
Endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography (ERCP) is an interventional endoscopic technique aimed at the diagnoses and treatment of biliary and pancreatic diseases under the guidance of endoscopy and X-ray ima-ging. ERCP was introduced into China from the 1970s. In the 1990s, ERCP was gradually popularized and applied in China with the development of medical technique and improvement of equipment, more medical institutions started to carry out ERCP. After 2000, ERCP technology and equipment were further upgraded and improved in China. Many secondary and tertiary hospitals began to establish the ERCP centers. Meanwhile, workshops and training also facilitated the teaching and practice of ERCP and cultivated more professionals of ERCP. In recent years, the technical level of ERCP in China has been continuously improved, and technologies and equipments are constantly updated and iterated. Currently, ERCP has become one of important techniques in the endoscopic field, playing an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of biliary and pancreatic diseases. The vigorous development of ERCP in China is attributed to the advancement of medical science, the improvement of technology and the efforts of generations of ERCP specialists.
