BACKGROUND: Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a common technique for assessing the pancreas and the biliary system; however, the potential complications have raised concern among endoscopists and @entity1 . Recently, the need of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) as an additional tool of assessment before the ERCP procedure has been increasing. The need of EUS in developing countries is still a matter of debate regarding the cost, investment, and training. Here, we report the significant impact of EUS on several unselected interesting cases of @entity74 . METHOD: We selected several interesting cases from the @entity1 who underwent EUS at our private hospital in Jakarta, Indonesia. The EUS procedures were performed by one experienced endosonographer and one EUS trainee who are very experienced with transabdominal ultrasound. The equipment was an Olympus JF UCT 180 EUS scope which was connected to an Aloka IPF-1701C ultrasound machine (Tokyo, Japan). RESULTS: Five interesting cases were included from @entity1 who underwent EUS due to @entity74 . The cases included recurrent @entity788 due to pancreatic stone at the small branch that obstructed the main pancreatic duct, common bile duct (CBD) stone with insignificant duct dilatation, @entity788 with @entity3885 at the distal CBD and portal vein infiltration, @entity788 in a young @entity1 , and distal CBD mass that @entity3883 . CONCLUSIONS: The EUS procedure has shown a significant impact in managing @entity1 with @entity66 . In most developing countries, EUS needs to be evaluated further regarding the cost, investment, and training.
