    Summary

    Endoscopic sphincterotomy effectively removed retained bile duct stones in 43 patients over 4 years. This minimally invasive procedure is a favorable alternative to surgery and other treatments, suitable for routine use.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Endoscopic procedures

    Background:

    • Retained bile duct stones pose a clinical challenge.
    • Non-operative treatments are sought to avoid surgical intervention.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of endoscopic sphincterotomy for retained bile duct stones.
    • To compare endoscopic sphincterotomy with other treatment modalities.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 51 endoscopic sphincterotomies in 43 patients over 4 years.
    • Data collection on complications and need for subsequent surgery.

    Main Results:

    • Successful endoscopic removal of retained stones in all cases.
    • Low complication rate (2 complications in 51 procedures).
    • Only 7 patients required surgery despite the procedure.

    Conclusions:

    • Endoscopic sphincterotomy is a safe and effective treatment for retained bile duct stones.
    • It demonstrates superiority over other non-operative treatments like percutaneous stone extraction.
    • The procedure is suitable for routine implementation, even in smaller hospitals.
