    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report the initial experience with endoscopic papilosphincterotomy in Czechoslovakia.
    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the procedure for choledocholithiasis and benign papilla of Vater stenosis.

    Main Methods:

    • Endoscopic papilosphincterotomy was performed on 29 patients.
