    Author: Gya D, Sali A, Angus D.
    Journal: Aust N Z J Surg; 1989 Nov; 59(11):900-2. PubMed ID: 2818354.
    Abstract:
    Endoscopic sphincterotomy is a commonly performed procedure for recurrent stones and retained stones in the common bile duct. This procedure, however, has significant morbidity and mortality. A complication, which appears to be unique, of endoscopic sphincterotomy leading to a right pneumothorax and subcutaneous emphysema is reported.
