ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND/AIMS:
The progression of endoscopy and devices as well as newly developed treatment methods have enabled endoscopic lithotomy. In this study, we examined to what degree is it possible to endoscopically treat patients who are diagnosed as having common bile duct stones.METHODOLOGY:
Lithotomy was conducted using a backward side-viewing endoscope for patients without surgical history of upper gastrointestinal tract and patients with stomach reconstructed with Billroth-I method, using an ordinary endoscope for patients with stomach reconstructed with Billroth-II method (Bil-II) and using a double balloon endoscope for patients with difficulty in reaching the papilla or patients of Roux-en-Y anastomosis (R-Y). As for treatment methods, we selected endoscopic sphincterotomy as the first choice for papilla treatment and selected endoscopic papillary balloon dilation for patients with bleeding tendency or patients of Bil-II or R-Y. For patients with multiple stones or giant stones, lithotripsy was selected depending on judgment of the endoscopist.RESULTS:
Endoscopic complete lithotomy was successful in 97.7% (168/172). An accidental disease was observed in 2.9% (5/172). In one patient with the perforated gastrointestinal tract, a surgery was performed but others were mild.CONCLUSIONS:
Common bile duct stones can be endoscopically treated safely with high rate.
