The Japan Gastroenterological Endoscopy Society has developed the ‘ EPLBD Clinical Practice Guidelines’ as fundamental guidelines based on new scientific techniques. EPLBD is a treatment method that has recently become widely used for choledocolithiasis. The evidence level in this field is usually low, and in many instances, the recommendation grading has to be determined on the basis of expert consensus. At this point, the guidelines are divided into the following six sections according to the ‘ EST Clinical Practice Guidelines’: (i) Indications, (ii) procedures, (iii) special cases, (iv) procedure‐related adverse events, (v) treatment outcomes, and (vi) postoperative follow up observation.
