    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Endoscopic Procedures
    • Biliary Tract Interventions

    Background:

    • Choledocholithiasis is a common indication for intervention.
    • Endoscopic sphincterotomy (ES) is a key procedure for managing common bile duct (CBD) stones.
    • Patient populations include those with gallbladder in situ and post-cholecystectomy.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of endoscopic sphincterotomy (ES).
    • To assess ES outcomes in patients with choledocholithiasis.
    • To determine the success rate of stone clearance from the CBD.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 116 endoscopic sphincterotomies (ES) in 110 patients over two years.
    • Indications included choledocholithiasis (93%) and other biliary conditions (7%).

  • Success rates and complication rates were recorded.

    • Main Results:

    • ES was achieved in 97.4% of attempts and was successful in 81% of patients.
    • CBD stones were cleared in 83% of patients with choledocholithiasis and available follow-up.
    • Complications occurred in 3 patients; no deaths were reported.

    Conclusions:

    • Endoscopic sphincterotomy (ES) is an effective and safe treatment for choledocholithiasis.
    • ES is particularly beneficial for retained stones and patients with gallbladder in situ who are poor surgical risks.
    • The procedure demonstrates a high success rate for CBD stone clearance with low morbidity.
