Core Tip
Core tip: A postoperative endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is used as a treatment modality for common bile duct stone (CBDS) clearance when a laparoscopic common bile duct exploration has failed or retained stones are discovered after an operation. If a secondary ERCP fails, the clinicians must be ready for a laparoscopic or open exploration. Because of this, different techniques are required to exclude surgical intervention. We describe a modified Rendezvous technique for an ERCP in patients operated on for CBDSs having a T-tube with retained CBDSs and with intradiverticular papilla. The modified Rendezvous technique is a very easy method and increases the success of postoperative ERCP, especially in patients with large duodenal diverticula and with intradiverticular papilla.
