Article Synopsis
- A study of 672 patients with gallstone disease undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) from 1993 to 1996 revealed that 78 patients (11.7%) had endoscopic sphincterotomy (ES) prior to their surgery due to obstructive jaundice.
- ES was successful in 90% of cases, and LC was conducted after bilirubinemia normalized, with a mean hospital stay of 6.3 days.
- The findings showed that patients who received both ES and LC experienced shorter treatment times and fewer complications compared to those undergoing traditional open cholecystectomy with T drainage.
The aim of the study is an analysis of the complications among the patients who underwent endoscopic sphincterotomy. In years 1991-1996 in our Department 412 patients underwent endoscopic sphincterotomy. Bile ducts stones, acute bile pancreatitis, papilla Vateri stricture and the postoperative bile fistula were the indications for the procedure.
