    Endoscopic sphincterotomy offers a safe and effective treatment for bile duct stones and other conditions, with a lower mortality rate than surgery. This minimally invasive procedure is particularly beneficial for elderly patients and those with significant health issues.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Endoscopic procedures
    • Biliary tract interventions

    Context:

    • Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) allows for therapeutic interventions beyond diagnosis.
    • Diathermy incision of the papilla and intraduodenal common bile duct is a key ERCP application.
    • Traditionally used for choledocholithiasis, indications are expanding.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of endoscopic sphincterotomy for various biliary conditions.
    • To compare mortality rates between endoscopic sphincterotomy and surgical interventions.
    • To assess the suitability of endoscopic sphincterotomy for high-risk patient populations.

    Summary:

    • Endoscopic sphincterotomy was performed in 362 cases with a 95.8% success rate (347 patients).

  • Successful bile duct stone removal was achieved in 279 out of 309 patients treated for lithiasis.
  • Complications occurred in ~10% of cases, with a 1.4% mortality rate, primarily due to bleeding.

    • Impact:

    • Endoscopic sphincterotomy demonstrates a favorable mortality profile compared to surgical operations when indications are precise and technique is optimal.
    • The procedure, performed without general anesthesia, is highly indicated for elderly patients or those with comorbidities, achieving a 93% success rate in 140 personal cases.
    • This technique provides a less risky therapeutic option, improving patient outcomes in complex biliary interventions.
