The reported complications are pancreatitis, perforation, sub-cutaneous emphysema, pneumoperitoneum, pneumomediastinum, pneumothorax and exceptionally sub capsular liver hematoma. We report the particulars of the proceedings. The total number of complications was 54 cases (3.98% of 1356 interventions). The Acute pancreatitis PA was the most common complication in 39 cases (2.88% of the total and 72% of complications). The 79.49% of the PA was mild. 82% of the PA occurs in women. The procedure related mortality was 1 case (0.007%).
