This study describes our experience with a new method of identifying and cannulating the main pancreatic duct (MPD) using only an ultrasonically activated scalpel that overcomes the disadvantages of previously used methods. The main difference between our new method and that of previous methods is the greater ability to identify the MPD (success rate was greater than 81.3%). This technique is easy to learn, even for inexperienced surgeons, and is a reliable way of identifying the MPD.
