Endoscopic sphincterotomy is a key procedure for bile duct stones after gallbladder removal. Its use is expanding to treat pancreatitis, cholangitis, and before other surgeries.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Hepatobiliary Surgery

Background:

  • Choledocholithiasis (bile duct stones) management often involves endoscopic sphincterotomy.
  • This procedure is standard for patients post-cholecystectomy or those with high surgical risk.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review literature on expanded indications for endoscopic sphincterotomy.
  • To provide recommendations for new uses of this endoscopic procedure.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies on endoscopic sphincterotomy.
  • Analysis of evidence for new indications.

Main Results:

  • Endoscopic sphincterotomy is effective for choledocholithiasis post-cholecystectomy.
  • Evidence supports its use in poor-surgical-risk patients with gallbladder in situ.

Conclusions:

  • Endoscopic sphincterotomy is indicated for acute biliary pancreatitis.
  • It is also recommended for acute cholangitis and pre-definitive surgery choledocholithiasis removal.
