    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Endoscopic procedures
    • Biliary tract interventions

    Context:

    • Choledocholithiasis (bile duct stones) is a common condition, particularly in aged patients.
    • Re-intervention of the bile ducts can be challenging in elderly individuals.
    • Endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) presents a minimally invasive therapeutic option.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) as an alternative treatment for choledocholithiasis in the aged population.
    • To compare the outcomes of EST with other interventions for bile duct stones.

    Summary:

    • EST demonstrates a high success rate of 87.7% in treating choledocholithiasis in elderly patients.
    • The complication rate for EST is 8.4%, with a mortality rate of 1.1%.

  • Mortality associated with EST is significantly lower than that of transduodenal papillotomy or surgical reoperation.

    • Impact:

    • EST provides a safe and effective endoscopic solution for choledocholithiasis in the elderly.
    • The procedure offers a favorable risk-benefit profile compared to traditional surgical approaches.
    • Long-term complications following EST are not anticipated, suggesting a durable outcome.
