Abstract

Endoscopy plays an important role in the treatment of complications of biliary stones [3]. An indication for endoscopic sphincterotomy (ES) may also occur in early complications after biliary surgery [23]. The indications for ES in our endoscopy unit over the past 10 years are presented in Table 1; those for patients with choledocholithiasis are listed in Table 2. Indications for emergency endoscopic sphincterotomy are urgent medical conditions that require a prompt, life-saving treatment. Indications for EES in our series are presented in Table 3.
