  • Endoscopic papillotomy in Biliary Tract Pain and fluctuating cholestasis with common bile duct dilatation and small gallbladder stones.
    1992
    Co-Authors: J. Boender, M. Van Blankenstein, G. A. J. J. Nix, J. H. P. Wilson, Jan Dees
    Abstract:

    In patients suspected of having functional disorders of the papilla it is often difficult to establish the indications whether or not to perform endoscopic papillotomy (EP). We report on thirty-two consecutive patients referred for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography who all had longstanding Biliary Tract Pain and episodes of liver enzyme elevation indicating cholestasis. Further features were: 1) a dilated common bile duct (CBD) after cholecystectomy (n = 11) or 2) a dilated CBD without or with larger (greater than cystic duct diameter) gallbladder stones (n = 6) or 3) multiple small gallbladder stones, with a normal or dilated CBD, in patients with signs of acute gallstone pancreatitis or in whom elective cholecystectomy was not indicated (n = 15). No CBD stones, organic obstruction or other disorders were found in these patients. Without further diagnostic procedures, EP was routinely performed. The laboratory (up to 3 months) and clinical findings (2 to 4 years follow up) showed improvement in all patients undergoing EP. We conclude that immediate EP appears justified in these selected patients.
