[Treatment of residual choledochal calculi in patients with Kehr's T drainage: role and results of endoscopic sphincterotomy].
The results of sphincterotomy in the treatment of residual gallstones after cholecystectomy in a series of 62 patients, bearers of a T tube are reported. The mean time after surgery was 26.4 +/- 19.2 days. The procedure was technically successful in 59/62 (95.1%). Stones were passed spontaneously or were retrieved in 55/62 patients (88.7%). In four patients gallstones persisted in spite of sphincterotomy. All were operated with favorable results. Complications were observed in 4 patients (6.4%), without mortality. Sphincterotomy is a safe and relatively efficient technique in the treatment of cholecystectomized patients with residual gallstones and a T tube drainage.
