We carried out the first questionnaire survey about pancreas and biliary endoscopy Japan. The questionnaire was distributed to 19 institutions during the period 4 months and we gathered information from 1193 respondents. The endoscopic approaches to bile duct‐related regions accounted for 81% of all procedures. Therapy accounted for 74% of these. The examination and therapy procedures both achieved a success rate of over 80% The standard type of cannula was the first choice in 52% of endoscopic retrograde pancreatography (ERP) and 45% of endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERC). The short taper type (30%) is the second choice in ERP, and the short taper type (26%) and long taper (22%) are the second choice in ERC. EST is currently used in 71% of bile duct stone endoscopies in Japan, where EPBD was thought to be relatively prevalent. Various types (over 30) of sphincterotomes are used and the overall frequencies of guidewire usage are 65%.
