Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Primary precut fistulotomy  In this group, we will start ERC upfront by performing primary precut fistulotomy without attempting standard cannulation method. This will be done with the help of needle knife (Microknife XL, Boston Scientific, USA) preloaded with guidewire by performing a linear free hand cut (ENDOcut I mode-effect 2, watt-60, ERBE, Tubingen, Germany) on to the ampullary bulge 3-4 mm separate from the papillary orifice and then deepening the cut in a stepwise manner till we reach the whitish muscle layer of the lower end of common bile duct (CBD). Once the muscle layer is reached a further deep cut will be giving after which wire will be advanced under the fluoroscopic guidance. Once the wire is seen going into the liver, selective biliary cannulation will be confirmed by water soluble contrast cholangiogram.  
Comparator Agent  Primary precut papillotomy   In this group, we will start ERC by performing primary precut papillotomy without attempting standard cannulation method. This will be done with the help of needle knife (Microknife XL, Boston Scientific, USA) preloaded with guidewire by performing a linear free hand cut (ENDOcut I mode-effect 2, watt-60, ERBE, Tubingen, Germany) starting from the upper margin of the papillary orifice and positioning the needle at the upper margin and giving a linear cut in below upward fashion of around 2-3 mm and then deepening the cut in a stepwise manner till we reach the whitish muscle layer of the lower end of common bile duct (CBD). Once the muscle layer is reached a further deep cut will be giving after which wire will be advanced under the fluoroscopic guidance. Once the wire is seen going into the liver, selective biliary cannulation will be confirmed by water soluble contrast cholangiogram.

Brief Summary  

Post ERCP pancreatitis (PEP) is the most common and worrisome complication of ERCP with an incidence ranging from 3.5-9.7%. Among the high-risk group for PEP the incidence reported is around 14.7%. As per ESGE guidelines 2020 a patient is considered to be high risk for PEP in presence of at least 1 definite or 2 likely patient /procedure related risk factors. A recent multicenter randomized trial has shown very good efficacy and safety of primary precut fistulotomy in high risk cohort for PEP. Another randomized trial compared very early precut papillotomy (PP) with primary PP. The primary PP group had only 1 case of PEP (0.67%), suggesting good safety of the primary PP approach, although the very early group had PEP rate of 5.2%, same as has been reported in standard cannulation. In the second study the PP was done in average risk patients and even among them the PEP rate in the very early group was 5.2%. We do not know what is role of primary PP in high risk cohort for PEP, hence, we planned this randomized trial to compare the effect of primary PP with primary PF on PEP rate in high risk cohort for PEP.
