SPHINCTEROTOMY, ENDOSCOPIC

Specialty Definition: SPHINCTEROTOMY, ENDOSCOPIC

DomainDefinition

Health

Incision of Oddi's sphincter or Vater's ampulla performed by inserting a sphincterotome through an endoscope (duodenoscope) often following retrograde cholangiography (cholangiopancreatography, endoscopic retrograde). Endoscopic treatment by sphincterotomy is the preferred method of treatment for patients with retained or recurrent bile duct stones post-cholecystectomy, and for poor-surgical-risk patients that have the gallbladder still present.
