    Summary

    A novel endoscopic technique uses ultrasonography to confirm papillotomy device placement before endoscopic sphincterotomy. This safe and easy method may be suitable for patients with common bile duct stones.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Endoscopic Surgery

    Background:

    • Endoscopic sphincterotomy is a common procedure for bile duct stones.
    • Accurate device placement is crucial for successful and safe sphincterotomy.

    Observation:

    • A new endoscopic method utilizes ultrasonography to verify papillotomy device positioning.
    • This technique was initially applied to a pregnant patient and subsequently to twelve others.

    Findings:

    • The described endoscopic method allows for precise confirmation of the papillotomy device's placement before the procedure.
    • Ultrasonographic examination ensures correct positioning, enhancing procedural safety and efficacy.

    Implications:

    • This easy-to-perform technique may be applicable to a broad range of patients with common bile duct stones (under 1.2 cm) and no other bilio-pancreatic pathology.
