[Endoscopic papillosphincterotomy in treating the complications of gallstones].
The authors believe that endoscopic papillosphincterotomy is a relatively safe but sufficiently effective method for dissecting the papilla. It should be used mainly in patients with the postcholecystomic syndrome in order to abolish stenosis of the papilla duodeni major and to liquidate choledocholithiasis. It may be also used in the patients with calculous cholecystitis complicated by choledocholithiasis, stenosis of the papilla and jaundice, if there is an increased degree of surgical risk.
