Video Summary

In the video, John gives a talk on the history of ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography) from 1968 to the present. He discusses the early devices used for ERCP, such as the primitive-looking Eder duodenoscope, and the first successful cannulation of the ampulla of Vater. He also highlights the pioneers in the field, including Bill McCune, Meinhard Klassen, Keiichi Kawai, and others who described and advanced the technique of sphincterotomy. John emphasizes the progress made over the past 54 years and expresses gratitude to the clinicians and technical experts who have contributed to the development of ERCP for the benefit of patients with pancreatic biliary disorders.
