Based on two clinical cases that developed subcapsular hematoma after ERCP procedure and resolved each one differently (conservative management and surgery, respectively) we have made a brief review of current status, risk factors and treatment options. We also summarize the cases that required surgery. With the increase of endoscopic procedures, it is important to consider this type of major and severe complication.
