Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the treatment results of large common bile duct stones using endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (NSMTND) combined with minimal sphincterotomy and large balloon dilation. Subjects and methods: A case series study on 82 patients with common bile duct stones >1 cm indicated for NSMTND treatment. All patients underwent administrative information collection, pre-intervention ultrasound evaluation of stones, NSMTND stone removal according to a standardized protocol, and complications of the procedure were recorded. Results: The successful cannulation rate was 93.9%, the complete stone clearance rate was 89,6%. The average procedure time was 31.4 minutes. Complications were usually mild, including 1 case of gastrointestinal perforation was treated endoscopically, 5 cases acute pancreatitis, 7 cases of bleeding. The complete stone clearance rate by NSMTND in the group with distal stone location, stone size <15mm, single stone, and non-angulated common bile duct was 98.0%, 87.3%, 92.3%, and 96.4% respectively, significantly higher (p<0.05) compared to the other groups. The accumulated stones clearance rate after the second and third times NSMTND is 85.7% and 89.6% respectively. Conclusion: Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography is an easily performed procedure with a high success rate of stone removal and few serious complications.
