Endoscopic papillotomy (EPT) with removal of common bile duct stones
Abstract
Endoscopic papillotomy with removal of common bile duct stones was successfully performed in 14 patients. In 11 patients stones were found after cholecystectomy. In the remaining 3 patients there was a high operative risk. No serious complications occurred. Consequently the removal of choledocholithiasis by endoscopic papillotomy is an alternative to traditional treatment.
