Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS A biological papilla made of chicken heart tissue, incorporated into the Boškoski-Costamagna ERCP Trainer simulator, was recently designed to allow training in sphincterotomy. This study aimed to evaluate the face and content validity of this tool. METHOD Participants from 2 groups (nonexperienced and experienced [<600 or >600 lifetime ERCPs, respectively]) were invited to perform standardized assignments on the model: sphincterotomy and precut for both groups and papillectomy for the experienced group. Following these assignments, all participants filled out a questionnaire to rate their appreciation of the realism of the model, and experienced endoscopists were also asked to evaluate its didactic value using a 5-point Likert scale. RESULTS A total of 19 participants were included (nonexperienced, n = 10; experienced, n = 9). Parameters regarding the realism of the tool in terms of general appearance, sphincterotomy, precut, and papillectomy were overall considered realistic (4 of 5), with good agreement rates in terms of overall realism between groups. Experienced operators reported the highest realism for "positioning the scope and needle-knife in the field of view" and "during precut," "cutting in small increments during precut," and "controlling the scope during papillectomy," and they highly agreed that this papilla should be included for training novice and intermediate trainees in sphincterotomy, precut, and papillectomy. CONCLUSIONS Our results show good face validity and excellent content validity of this biological papilla combined with the Boškoski-Costamagna ERCP Trainer. This new tool provides a useful, inexpensive, versatile, and easy tool for training regarding sphincterotomy, precut, and papillectomy. Future studies should explore whether including this model in real-life training improves the learning curve of endoscopy trainees.

Abstract
Introduction: Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangio-Pancreatography (ERCP) applications are rapidly evolving toward increasingly complex therapeutic approaches alongside with technological innovations. There are no globally agreed indications on the ERCP training path, which often requires too much time and does not always guarantee adequate skills.Areas covered: Frequency and difficulty of execution are the main objective criteria on which to draw up a training program: novel trainees should approach ERCP first through the simplest and most frequent procedures. An extensive use of training models would reduce the patient's performer-related risks. Amongst a wide variety of models, mechanical simulators have received large approval. In fact, they can be best-suited to each trainee's learning curve thanks to their precision and safety and by virtue of the unlimited repeatability of their use. However, more solid evidences are still needed.Expert opinion: Hands-on ERCP training should systematically employ mechanical simulators at least in the early stages of the learning process. An implementation of these models through sensors that objectively detect abnormalities in the movements would provide detailed feedbacks and deeper awareness. Simulators might also be useful for expert endoscopists to refine their skills. Rapid prototyping and 3D printing might be the way to create customized training models for successful training programs.

Abstract
The Japan Gastroenterological Endoscopy Society has developed the 'EPLBD Clinical Practice Guidelines' as fundamental guidelines based on new scientific techniques. EPLBD is a treatment method that has recently become widely used for choledocolithiasis. The evidence level in this field is usually low, and in many instances, the recommendation grading has to be determined on the basis of expert consensus. At this point, the guidelines are divided into the following six sections according to the 'EST Clinical Practice Guidelines': (i) Indications, (ii) procedures, (iii) special cases, (iv) procedure-related adverse events, (v) treatment outcomes, and (vi) postoperative follow up observation.

Abstract
The Japan Gastroenterological Endoscopy Society (JGES) has recently compiled guidelines for endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) using evidence-based methods. Content regarding actual clinical practice, including detailed endoscopic procedures, instruments, device types and usage, has already been published by the JGES postgraduate education committee in May 2015 and, thus, in these guidelines we avoided duplicating such content as much as possible. The guidelines do not address pancreatic sphincterotomy, endoscopic papillary balloon dilation (EPBD), and endoscopic papillary large balloon dilation (EPLBD). The guidelines for EPLBD are planned to be developed separately. The evidence level in this field is often low and, in many instances, strong recommendation has to be determined on the basis of expert consensus. At this point in time, the guidelines are divided into six items including indications, techniques, specific cases, adverse events, outcomes, and postoperative follow up.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In patients with Billroth II (B II) or Roux-en-Y anatomy, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is demanding. Here, we describe a novel simulator with simulated fluoroscopy for cannulation and sphincterotomy training in such situations. METHODS A custom-made simulation system was built based upon a common chassis of a series of previously described ERCP simulators. The papilla is made out of organic material and can be cut by high frequency current. The advancement of guidewires and other instruments within transparent mock bile ducts can be viewed in the window of the simulator without the need for fluoroscopy. The ERCP B II/Roux-en-Y simulation system was first evaluated during an ERCP course. RESULTS There were no technical problems related to the novel simulator during the course. After sphincterotomy, the organic papillae could easily be exchanged within a few seconds. Overall, the novel B II/Roux-en-Y simulator achieved favorable results by trainees and expert endoscopists in all categories assessed. CONCLUSIONS The new B II/Roux-en-Y mechanical simulator is simple and practicable. A first evaluation during an ERCP course showed promising results.
