| description | Endoscopic sphincterotomy refers to the incision of the terminal
portion of the biliary or pancreatic ducts by a variety of techniques, depending
on anatomic circumstances, goals and risks. Alternative methods include percutaneous
transhepatic or surgical techniques. The initial Erlangen method -
complete sphinccerotomy - carried an unavoidable risk of perforation and
hemorrhage. Fractional incision or 'endoscopic papillotomy' - incision of the
inferior sphincter - carries no risk of hemorrhage or perforation, done properly.
Techniques of papillotomy including 'pull,' 'precut,' stent placement, infundibulotomy,
percutaneous cholangiography, and internal spring wire are
described, and general electrosurgical principles discussed. |
