Endoscopic papillotomy effectively removes bile duct stones in over 95% of cases. This minimally invasive procedure offers a safer alternative to surgery for high-risk patients needing choledochus stone removal.

Area of Science:

Gastroenterology
Minimally Invasive Surgery

Context:

Choledochus stones (bile duct stones) pose a significant clinical challenge.
Traditional surgical methods for stone removal carry higher risks.

Purpose:

To describe the efficacy and techniques of endoscopic papillotomy for bile duct stone removal.
To compare endoscopic papillotomy with surgical interventions.

Summary:

Endoscopic papillotomy involves incising the papillary sphincters endoscopically, achieving over 95% success.
Choledochus stones are passed spontaneously or extracted with a Domia basket in over 80% of cases.
Electrohydraulic lithotripsy is available for large stones, with dissolution therapy under investigation.

Impact:

Endoscopic papillotomy is a safer, less invasive option for patients at risk.
It offers a lower lethality rate compared to traditional surgical stone removal.
Successful stone clearance reduces complications associated with bile duct obstruction.
