  • Title: Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography for stone burden in the bile and pancreatic ducts.
    Author: Rosenkranz L, Patel SN.
    Journal: Gastrointest Endosc Clin N Am; 2012 Jul; 22(3):435-50. PubMed ID: 22748241.
    Abstract:
    Stones in biliary and pancreatic ducts are entities that plague hundreds of thousands of patients worldwide every year. Symptoms can be mild (pain) to life threatening (cholangitis, severe acute pancreatitis). In the last few decades, management of these stones has transitioned from exclusively surgical to now predominantly endoscopic techniques. This article reviews the evolution of endoscopic techniques used in the management of stones in the common bile duct and pancreatic duct.
