[Endoscopic fistulotomy in choledocholithiasis].

P Kratochvil, G Brandstätter, T Stupnicki

    Zeitschrift Fur Gastroenterologie
    |August 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    Endoscopic fistulotomy successfully treated choledocholithiasis and papillary stenosis when endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography failed. This minimally invasive technique allowed spontaneous bile duct stone clearance and patient recovery.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Endoscopic Surgery

    Background:

    • Choledocholithiasis and papillary stenosis can obstruct bile flow.
    • Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a standard treatment, but can fail.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of endoscopic fistulotomy for managing complex bile duct obstructions.
    • To assess a novel endoscopic approach when standard ERCP is not feasible.

    Main Methods:

    • Endoscopic creation of a prepapillary choledochoduodenal fistula.
    • Papillotome-guided fistulotomy to split the fistula cranially.
    • Observation of spontaneous clearance of bile duct stones.

    Main Results:

    • Successful treatment in 9 cases of choledocholithiasis and 2 of papillary stenosis.
    • Spontaneous disappearance of choledochal concrements and successful patient recovery.
    • This method was applicable in cases with a dilated common bile duct.

    Conclusions:

    • Endoscopic fistulotomy is a viable alternative when ERCP fails for choledocholithiasis or papillary stenosis.
    • The procedure is indicated in dilated common bile ducts, especially when surgery is considered after ERCP failure.
