Neo-tract creation methods
Cauterization	Non-cauterization
Easy neo-tract creation with no need for forceful manipulation More tissue injury from thermal burn The procedure takes less time More complications, especially bile leakage or perforation	More difficult and forceful manipulation, especially when the intervening tissue is thick or the direction is inappropriate Less injury, smaller diameter of the neo-tract Lower risk of bile leakage or bleeding
