[Endoscopic sphincterotomy experience at the Cancer Control Center].
Endoscopy Sphincterotomy is an important therapeutic procedure in the treatment of some biliary and pancreatic disorders. In this paper, we report our experience over this subject. In our patients the main indication to perform this procedure was common bile duct stones; they were 83% of the total cases. In those cases, 67% were residual stones after cholecystectomy by laparotomy and laparoscopy. We performed sphincterotomy in 33% of patients with gallbladders in situ. In five patients (7.57%), we made the diagnosis of Oddi's sphincter dysfunction taken in account clinical, biochemical an radiological findings. No manometric measurements were done. We found some unusual cases, such as: choledococele and Sump syndrome. In five patients we had complications, 3 of them bled and the other two developed edematous pancreatitis. All these complications were solved with medical treatment.
