Abstract:
The sphincter of Oddi (SO), located at a crucial anatomical site, continues to present diagnostic and therapeutic problems. A combination of the techniques of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and manometry has permitted direct assessment of the SO function, and has opened up a new era in the study of this structure.
