“…2 Stone re-formation because of chronic inflammation of the biliary duct is generally considered the other important cause of CBDS recurrence, which is associated with bile stasis and duodenal-biliary reflux (DBR). [3][4][5][6][7][8][9] Stone recurrence occurs more frequently in patients who undergo endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST ) than endoscopic papillary balloon dilation (5.7%-26.7% vs 1.6%-8.1%). [3][4][5][6] More DBR may be the cause of the higher recurrence rate in patients undergoing EST.…”

“…Long-term complications of EBD versus ES have also been specifically assessed in two trials, including 314 patients. Compared to EBD, ES is a risk factor for stone recurrence and biliary sphincter dysfunction in studies with follow-up periods of up to 7 years [18,19].…”

“…36 This high complication rate 37 has not been duplicated in Asian trials. 38 More recently, endoscopic papillary balloon dilatation following a small sphincterotomy has been reported 39 and is rapidly becoming the approach of choice for removing large stones (> 12-15 mm).…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
