[Dysfunction of the sphincter of Oddi in cholecystectomy patients].
Sphincter of Oddi dysfunction (SOD) is an obstructive syndrome of the papilla not resulting from a stone. It may cause recurrent biliary type pain to cholecystectomized patients. SOD is caused by sphincter dyskinesia or benign stenosis. Diagnosis is usually based on symptoms, serum biochemistry, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and Sphincter of Oddi manometry. The latter is the best means of evaluating Sphincter of Oddi dynamics. However, because of the many inconveniences of Sphincter of Oddi manometry and of its high morbidity rate, it is seldom used. Non invasive techniques, such as cholescintigraphy, have been developed to replace Sphincter of Oddi manometry in diagnosing SOD. Patients can be cured by sphincterotomy. Certain drugs could also be effective but few controlled studies have been carried out of date.
