  • Title: [Endoscopic papillosphincterotomy in the treatment of choledocholithiasis].
    Author: Kotovskiĭ AE, Grafskaia ND.
    Journal: Vestn Khir Im I I Grek; 1984 Jun; 132(6):25-8. PubMed ID: 6474695.
    Abstract:
    The article analyzes an experience with endoscopic papillosphincterotomy in 45 patients with recurrent or residual choledocholithiasis with/without stenosis of the major duodenal papilla. In 38 pathients stones were removed after endoscopic papillosphincterotomy or were eliminated spontaneously. In later terms none of the patients showed restenosis of the major duodenal papilla. Thus, endoscopic papillosphincterotomy is considered to be an effective method of treatment of choledocholithiasis.
