    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Procedures

    Context:

    • Transduodenal sphincterotomy is a surgical intervention for cholelithiasis (gallstones).
    • This study analyzes 70 such procedures performed at RWTH Aachen University Hospital.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the outcomes and complication rates of transduodenal sphincterotomy.
    • To identify the incidence of specific postoperative complications and their management.

    Summary:

    • A 4.2% lethality rate was observed in 70 transduodenal sphincterotomies.
    • Key complications included post-sphincterotomy pancreatitis (9.5%), bleeding (1.4%), retroperitoneal abscess (1.8%), and duodenal wall insufficiency (1.9%).
    • Hemorrhagic pancreatitis, duodenal insufficiency, abscess, and bleeding necessitate immediate re-operation.
