Sphincterotomy

12/01/2021 - "Chemical sphincterotomy avoids the risk of permanent incontinence in the treatment of chronic anal fissure, but it does not reach the efficacy of surgery and recurrence is high. "
04/01/2007 - "Thus, sphincterotomy continues to be a good treatment for patients with chronic anal fissure."
12/01/2001 - "Chemical sphincterotomy is an effective treatment for chronic anal fissure and has the advantages over surgical treatment of avoiding long term complications (notably incontinence) and not requiring hospitalisation."
02/01/2008 - "Surgical and biologic sphincterotomy are almost equally effective in the treatment of chronic anal fissure. "
08/01/2001 - "Chemical sphincterotomy has proved effective in treating chronic anal fissure. "

01/01/1997 - "The other patient was markedly symptomatic from pancreatitis, but improved dramatically after treatment with a needle-knife sphincterotomy done within 24 hours of the original ERCP. "
04/01/2016 - "Whether early ERCP with sphincterotomy is beneficial in patients with predicted severe pancreatitis remains subject to debate. "
06/01/2013 - "It is premature to conclude pancreatic sphincterotomy is not beneficial in idiopathic pancreatitis."
01/01/2002 - "Endoscopic pancreatic sphincterotomy or temporary stenting, or both, appear to be beneficial in idiopathic recurrent pancreatitis. "
10/01/2001 - "Small bile duct diameter, sphincter of Oddi manometry, biliary sphincterotomy, and lower ERCP case volume were not multivariate risk factors for pancreatitis, although endoscopists performing on average more than 2 ERCPs per week had significantly greater success at bile duct cannulation (96.5% versus 91.5%, p = 0.0001). "

04/01/2008 - "Surgical sphincterotomy was significantly more effective in providing pain relief and was associated with significantly better fissure healing rates at 6 weeks and 10 weeks (both p < 0.001). "
12/01/2005 - "Sphincterotomy relieved pain much earlier compared to GTN (70% vs 40% at 2 weeks, P = 0.0032); but after 4 weeks of treatment, pain relief in both groups was comparable. "
07/01/1999 - "She improved following laparoscopic cholecystectomy and later on sphincterotomy, but her pain has not yet completely resolved. "
08/01/1997 - "Pancreatic abnormalities are commonly seen with ARSC and may be responsible for some of the pain not relieved by biliary sphincterotomy. "
08/01/1995 - "Pain was relieved by sphincterotomy in nine patients, but the other clinical or biological features were not influenced. "

09/25/2021 - "Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) with sphincterotomy and stone extraction is the treatment of choice for choledocholithiasis, reaching a successful clearance of the common bile duct (CBD) in up to 90% of the cases. "
10/01/2009 - "In more than 90% of choledocholithiasis cases, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography with sphincterotomy and stone extraction are successful therapeutic options for clearance of the bile duct with the use of a stone retrieval balloon or basket. "
10/01/2021 - "Background Prophylactic cholecystectomy following endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography with sphincterotomy (ERCP-S) remains the gold standard management of choledocholithiasis. "
01/01/2021 - "We wished to determine the role of an improved method of sphincterotomy in choledocholithiasis: "radial sphincterotomy". "
11/01/2009 - "To revisit the diagnostic accuracy of sonography in the detection of choledocholithiasis using modern equipment with tissue harmonic imaging (THI) and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) with sphincterotomy as the gold standard. "

07/01/1986 - "Severe lower anal canal stenosis was best treated by V-Y anoplasty (18 of 20 patients [90 per cent] with good results), although a simple sphincterotomy or multiple anal sphincterotomies achieved a good result in 75 of 111 patients (67 per cent). "
07/01/1988 - "Endoscopic retrograde sphincterotomy is effective for the removal of stones of the common bile duct, and at relieving the symptoms of papillary stenosis. "
04/12/1982 - "Therefore, endoscopic sphincterotomy appears to be an effective treatment for benign papillary stenosis and is a low-risk procedure compared with surgical sphincterotomy."
06/28/2014 - "ESLBD is effective and safe in the removal of large CBD stones, however, small sphincterotomy might be preferred and CBD strictures should be considered as a relative contraindication. "
03/01/1996 - "Transpapillary bile duct biopsy without sphincterotomy is a simple, safe, and effective technique for diagnosing biliary stricture. "
