Gastrointestinal dysfunction usually caused by pancreatitis leads to paralytic intestinal obstruction. However, pancreatitis combined with mechanical colonic obstruction is extremely rare. It can easily be misdiagnosed as malignant intestinal obstruction, and diagnosing the cause of intestinal obstruction becomes more critical when accompanied by Sinistral portal hypertension (SPH). Surgical resection is the primary method for the previous occurrence of colonic complications.

It is associated with the risk of serious complications such as pancreatitis, bleeding, cholangitis and perforation. Endosonography should therefore also be offered for the precise indication of the higher-risk ERCP. Numerous factors influence the success of ERCP. In addition to structured training for the initial acquisition of skills and a minimum number of ERCPs of varying degrees of difficulty, maintaining a good quality of ERCP also requires a regular minimum number of examinations performed per year. There is extensive evidence that shows a significant correlation between ERCP volumes and primary success rates, lower lengths of hospital stay, fewer unwanted readmissions and fewer complications. The cut-offs for differentiating between high-volume and low-volume centers were chosen inconsistently in the studies, with the highest evidence for a cut-off value of 200 ERCPs/year. The question of specialization in ERCP has been given a relevance by the current developments in german hospital reform. Here, a minimum number of ERCPs should be defined for groups of different specialization. However, a minimum number alone will not be able to achieve good treatment quality. In terms of high-quality patient care, it is necessary to offer ERCPs in specialized gastroenterology center, which, in addition to a sufficient number of ERCPs for training and to maintain competence, offer an on-call service and complementary procedures such as EUS and which are embedded in appropriately accessible clinics that have the necessary resources for complication management.</p>","PeriodicalId":23853,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift fur Gastroenterologie","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141903067","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper explores various modalities and instructors involved in ultrasound education to identify the most effective approaches. The field of ultrasound instruction is enriched by the diverse roles of physicians, anatomists, peer tutors, and sonographers. All these healthcare professionals can inspire and empower the next generation of ultrasound practitioners with continuous training and support. Physicians bring their clinical expertise to the table, while anatomists enhance the understanding of anatomical knowledge through ultrasound integration. Peer tutors, often medical students, provide a layer of social congruence and motivation to the learning process. Sonographers provide intensive practical experience and structured learning plans to students. By combining different instructors and teaching methods, success can be achieved in ultrasound education. An ultrasound curriculum organized by experts in the field can lead to more efficient use of resources and better learning outcomes.
