Endoscopic sphincterotomy can lead to bile duct and pancreatic duct stenosis, causing acute pancreatitis. Repeat sphincterotomy and endoscopic stenting can resolve these complications, offering an alternative to surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Endoscopic procedures
  • Biliary tract disorders

Background:

  • Endoscopic sphincterotomy is a common procedure for bile duct stones.
  • Complications following endoscopic sphincterotomy can occur.
  • Post-sphincterotomy stenosis is a potential adverse event.

Observation:

  • Two female patients developed acute pancreatitis after endoscopic sphincterotomy for bile duct stones.
  • ERCP revealed cicatricial stenosis of the common bile duct and pancreatic duct in both cases.
  • One patient required multiple endoscopic interventions, including endoprosthesis insertion.

Findings:

  • Repeat sphincterotomy successfully resolved the stenosis and pancreatitis in both patients.
  • Endoscopic management, including stenting, can be effective for post-sphincterotomy stenosis.

  • Endoscopists report fewer postpapillotomy stenoses compared to surgical literature.

    • Implications:

    • Highlights the risk of stenosis after endoscopic sphincterotomy.
    • Demonstrates the efficacy of repeat endoscopic intervention for managing complications.
    • Suggests a need for increased awareness of post-sphincterotomy stenosis in endoscopic practice.
