    Author: Saowaros V.
    Journal: J Med Assoc Thai; 1989 May; 72(5):266-70. PubMed ID: 2769120.
    Abstract:
    Endoscopic sphincterotomy was attempted in 75 CBD stone patients. The procedure was successful in 62 patients (82.7%), and all duct stones were removed successfully in 59 patients (95.2% of successful EST). Immediate complications occurred in 7 patients (9.3%), who required no operation. No patient died. This procedure is a major therapeutic advance in the treatment of choledocholithiasis.
