    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Endoscopic electrosurgery, specifically endoscopic papillotomy (EP), effectively relieves common bile duct obstruction. This minimally invasive approach offers a safe and efficient alternative for managing gallstones and papillary stenosis, reducing hospitalization.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Endoscopic Surgery

    Background:

    • Common bile duct obstruction is a significant clinical challenge.
    • Endoscopic electrosurgery offers a less invasive treatment option.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of endoscopic electrosurgery for common bile duct obstruction.
    • To assess outcomes of endoscopic papillotomy (EP) in patients with choledocholithiasis and papillary stenosis.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 267 patients undergoing endoscopic electrosurgery.
    • Endoscopic papillotomy (EP) was performed for stone extraction and relief of papillary stenosis.

    Main Results:

    • Successful stone evacuation in 192 of 222 patients with choledocholithiasis.

  • Complications included pancreatitis (9), bleeding (7), and perforation (2).
  • Restenosis occurred in 2 of 32 patients treated for papillary stenosis.

    • Conclusions:

    • Endoscopic papillotomy is a primary treatment for common duct stones and papillary stenosis, especially in high-risk patients.
    • The endoscopic approach leads to shorter hospital stays and faster recovery.
    • EP is effective for retained or reformed stones post-cholecystectomy.
