The utility of conventional short‐type double‐balloon endoscopy (DBE) for pancreatobiliary disease in patients with postoperative anatomy had been widely acknowledged and accepted. However, some technical difficulties yet remained.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of N‐short DBE for ERC in postoperative patients.
