Needle Knife in ERCP – Precision Access for Complex Biliary Procedures

What is a Needle Knife?

A needle knife is a specialized endoscopic accessory designed for precise incisions in the gastrointestinal tract. It is mainly used during ERCP when traditional access to the bile or pancreatic ducts is difficult. The fine electrosurgical tip allows safe and accurate entry into the ducts.

From Surgery to Endoscopy: History of the Needle Knife

The needle knife was introduced as an advancement in endoscopic technology to assist in complex biliary and pancreatic procedures. Earlier techniques were limited in precision, often requiring surgical intervention. Over time, the design improved with electrosurgical compatibility, refined tips, and enhanced safety features. Today, it is a key tool for gastroenterologists performing advanced ERCP.
