**Sphincterotomy for Acute Recurrent Pancreatitis Study**
This study examines if a procedure called **Endoscopic Retrograde CholangioPancreatography (ERCP)** with sphincterotomy helps reduce pancreatitis risk in people with a condition called **pancreas divisum**. Pancreas divisum is when the ducts in the pancreas aren't joined together as they usually are. ERCP uses x-rays and a long, flexible tube with a light to check the pancreatic fluid duct. If eligible, participants will either have the ERCP procedure or a fake (sham) procedure. Follow-up visits are scheduled 30 days after, then every 6 months, up to 48 months.
Key Points:- Participants are randomly assigned to have the ERCP with sphincterotomy or a sham procedure.
- Follow-up visits occur 30 days after the procedure and every 6 months for up to 4 years.
- The study will last about 5 years, with a total of around 234 participants.
