Pancreatitis Acute Biliary

This study is a randomized clinical trial evaluating the efficacy of rectal indomethacin in preventing post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) pancreatitis in patients undergoing biliary ERCP who have a history of prior biliary sphincterotomy. While rectal indomethacin has demonstrated benefits in preventing post-ERCP pancreatitis in high-risk patients, its utility in this specific patient subgroup remains unclear. This trial aims to determine whether prophylactic administration of indomethacin offers a measurable benefit over no intervention in this lower-risk population. Eligible patients will be identified prior to their scheduled biliary ERCP and screened for inclusion criteria. Following informed consent, participants will be randomized to receive either rectal indomethacin or no indomethacin prior to the procedure.
