Technique of transduodenal exploration of the common bile duct. Duodenoscopic appearances after biliary

Abstract:
A simple technique for performing biliary sphincterotomy is described. From an experience of 150 such operations this has been found to provide satisfactory access for exploring the biliary tree and makes T-tube drainage unnecessary. Duodenoscopic observation up to 9 years after the operation showed that the sphincteric region had healed without stenosis. Sphincteric activity had not been completely abolished.

An Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is a diagnostic procedure in which an endoscopist uses a flexible, lighted endoscope to visualize the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The procedure includes visualizing the oropharynx, esophagus, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine, the duodenum.
During an EGD, the endoscope can be used to:

Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a diagnostic procedure that combines endoscopy and fluoroscopy to diagnose and treat conditions related to the bile ducts, pancreatic ducts, and gallbladder. This procedure is beneficial for identifying and addressing blockages, gallstones, strictures, and tumors within the biliary or pancreatic systems. ERCP is both diagnostic and therapeutic, offering the ability to visualize and treat identified problems in one session.
