The pathologies of endoscopic interest that require emergency intervention are mainly hemorrhages of the upper digestive tract, the removal of foreign bodies, and the ingestion of caustics. The emergency endoscopist must therefore be experienced in the management of these pathologies. Nowadays, however, we know that even some biliary tract pathologies must be managed within a variable period between 12 and 72 h, in particular acute cholangitis (Ach), acute biliary pancreatitis (ABP), biliary duct leaks (BDLs), and acute cholecystitis (AC). If, on one hand, there is little awareness among doctors about which pathologies of the biliary tract really deserve urgent treatment, on the other, the international guidelines, although not uniformly, have acquired the results of the studies and have clarified that only severe Ach should be treated within 12 h; in other cases, endoscopic treatment can be delayed up to 72 h according to the specific condition. This obviously has a significant organizational implication, as not all endoscopists have training in biliary tract endoscopy, and guaranteeing the availability of a biliary endoscopist 24\/7 may be incompatible with respecting the working hours of individual professionals. This review aims to evaluate which pathologies of the biliary tract really require an endoscopic approach in emergency or urgency and the organizational consequences that this can determine. Based on the guidelines, we can conclude that a daytime availability for urgent biliary tract procedures 7 days a week should be provided for the management of severe ACh. Patients with ABP, AC unfit for surgery, and not responsive to medical therapy or BDLs can be treated over a longer period, allowing its scheduling on the first available day of the week.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm14031017","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,6]],"date-time":"2025-02-06T04:47:31Z","timestamp":1738817251000},"page":"1017","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Urgent Endoscopic Biliary Procedures: \u201cRun Like the Wind\u201d?"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0499-7683","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Francesca","family":"Lodato","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastroenterology and Interventional Endoscopy, AUSL Bologna Bellaria, Maggiore Hospital, 40133 Bologna, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stefano","family":"Landi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastroenterology and Interventional Endoscopy, AUSL Bologna Bellaria, Maggiore Hospital, 40133 Bologna, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marco","family":"Bassi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastroenterology and Interventional Endoscopy, AUSL Bologna Bellaria, Maggiore Hospital, 40133 Bologna, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stefania","family":"Ghersi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastroenterology and Interventional Endoscopy, AUSL Bologna Bellaria, Maggiore Hospital, 40133 Bologna, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vincenzo","family":"Cennamo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastroenterology and Interventional Endoscopy, AUSL Bologna Bellaria, Maggiore Hospital, 40133 Bologna, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"a1","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0034-1393172","article-title":"Diagnosis and Management of Nonvariceal Upper Gastrointestinal Hemorrhage: European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) Guideline","volume":"47","author":"Gralnek","year":"2015","journal-title":"Endoscopy"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"489","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0042-100456","article-title":"Removal of Foreign Bodies in the Upper Gastrointestinal Tract in Adults: European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) Clinical Guideline","volume":"48","author":"Birk","year":"2016","journal-title":"Endoscopy"},{"key":"ref_3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"ASGE Standards of Practice Committee, Ikenberry, S.O., Jue, T.L., Anderson, M.A., Appalaneni, V., Banerjee, S., Ben-Menachem, T., Decker, G.A., Fanelli, R.D., and Fisher, L.R.
