[Long-term results after endoscopic papillotomy]

A long-term control study after endoscopic papillotomy was performed in 102 patients at least 12 months after the procedure. 14 patients were no longer alive, from those only one patient died due to biliary problems. Complications occurred in 10 patients (9,8%). There was no cholangitis, but 2 cases of an acute cholecystitis some time after papillotomy. Therefore a cholecystectomy after papillotomy is suggested in the interval.
