ABSTRACT
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) placement of biliary stents is the procedure of choice for bile duct strictures. Complications of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography have a low incidence. Hepatic subcapsular hematoma is uncommon but potentially serious. It is caused by laceration of the bile duct with guidewire or biliary traction during the procedure. Initial management is conservative with supportive measures. In case of hemodynamic instability or superinfection, embolization of the affected branch or even surgery could be performed.

The aim of the IBDU is to provide comprehensive care for patients with IBD (1,2). During the COVID-19 pandemic, telephone medical consultations and telemedicine training sessions were implemented to ensure patient safety (3). The aim of this study was to determine whether there was a difference in the degree of satisfaction between face-to-face and telephone care, as well as in the annual patient sessions.
