Abstract:
:We reviewed 574 endoscopic sphincterotomy procedures. Fifty-six precut papillotomies were performed. Presenting conditions included choledocholithiasis, cholangitis, benign and malignant papillary strictures, and stenosing papillitis. Complications were identified in 16 percent: perforation in 9 percent, pancreatitis in 5 percent, bleeding in 2 percent, and pancreatic abscess in 2 percent. One patient died. Six patients required operation for complications. Perforation of the duodenum or common bile duct seen within 8 hours was managed with drainage and closure of the perforation with minimal complications. Duodenal perforations operated on later than 8 hours required more extensive procedures. All these patients had significant post-operative complications. Three patients were managed nonoperatively. Precut papillotomy carries a significantly higher complication rate than conventional sphincterotomy. Our experience suggests that there is no place for conservative management of duodenal perforation.
