    Case volume and outcome of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography: results of a nationwide Austrian benchmarking project.

    Endoscopy·2008

    Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) with sphincterotomy (EPT) is effective for treating bile duct stones. This study shows high success rates and low complication rates, supporting its wider use in specialized centers.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Endoscopic procedures

    Context:

    • ERCP is a common procedure for diagnosing and treating biliary and pancreatic duct diseases.
    • From 1975 to July 1980, 383 EPT procedures were performed across 5 Austrian gastroenterologic centers.
    • A total of 10,031 ERCP procedures were conducted during this period.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Endoscopic Papillotomy (EPT) for treating choledocholithiasis.
    • To assess the success rate, complication rate, and mortality associated with EPT.

    Summary:

    • 383 EPT procedures were performed with a success rate of 91.3% in 350 cases.
    • The primary indication was choledocholithiasis (bile duct stones) in 85.7% of cases (300 patients).
    • Complete gallstone clearance was achieved in 94% of patients, with a 4% complication rate and 0.6% mortality.

    Impact:

    • The study highlights favorable outcomes of EPT, encouraging its more frequent use for choledocholithiasis treatment in Austria.
    • It recommends limiting EPT to specialized centers to minimize complications and improve patient outcomes.
    • The findings support EPT as a safe and effective treatment option when performed by experienced endoscopists.
