146 Cases of Endoscopic Sphincterotomy
Abstract
- From July 1989 to August 1991, we performed 146 cases of endoscopic sphincterotomy(EST). In our series, 9 early complications occurred in 146 cases(morbidity rate: 6.2%), and no fatalities were recognized(mortality rate:0). Four cases with late complications consisted of 2 cases of acute cholecystitis, one case of chalaagitis and restenosis. There were 36 with the gallbladder with stone(11 cases) or without stone(25 cases). Two cases with chalecystitis after EST occurred in the patients with gallbladder stones. EST gives the sufficient result in diagnosis and treatment for various disease of biliary tract. Furthermore, EST was found to be a safe procedure from low rates of complications and fatalities.
