Abstract: Obstructive jaundice
(icterus) was an emergency situation in gastroenterology. Endoscopic retrograde
cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) was a nonsurgical approach to release obstruction,
mostly in common bile duct. Nowadays, this procedure was become frequently used
in daily practice, but several complications also emerging. One of the severe
complication was Post-ERCP Pancreatitis (PEP). Since it has a high mortality
and morbidity, and also reduce patient quality of life, several approaches have
been developed to reduce its incidence. In general, approaches consist of
patient identification, efficient procedure, until pharmacological agent
prevention. Although there were still contradiction among these, careful
approach should be considered for each patients for a better outcomes.
