About this trial
The aim of this prospective randomized study is to evaluate whether telemedical assistance via SmartGlasses is equivalent to physical presence in teaching Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreaticography (ERCP) in terms of examination success and safety. Endoscopic papilla cannulation is a key skill for successful ERCP and therefore a measurable primary endpoint of the study. This can be measured as the time (in seconds/minutes) between stable visualization of the papilla and successful endoscopic cannulation of the target structure (bile duct or pancreatic duct).
