Endoscopic papillary large balloon dilation in patients with large biliary stones and periampullary diverticula: Results of a multicentric series.

2018

Abstract Introduction Stone extraction represents the most frequent indication for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Endoscopic papillary large balloon dilation (EPLBD) is a recent introduced approach consisting of an endoscopic papillary large balloon dilation following limited endoscopic sphyncterotomy (ES), which has been proven to be safe and effective for extraction of large common bile duct (CBD) stones. Peri-ampullary diverticula (PAD) are described in 10–20% of patients undergoing ERCP. Aim of our study is to evaluate efficacy and safety of EPLBD for the extraction of large biliary stones in patients with PAD. Methods The prospectively collected endoscopy databa…

THE ROLE OF ENDOSCOPY IN ACUTE RECURRENT AND CHRONIC PANCREATITIS AND PANCREATIC CANCER

1999

Endoscopy plays an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic pancreatitis as well as pancreatic cancer. Sphincterotomy and stone removal in biliary pancreatitis, stone extraction and drainage in chronic pancreatitis, and stent implantation in pancreatic cancer are the predominant procedures. With endoscopy, minimal invasive techniques are at hand to solve urgent and long term problems.
