Abstract
AIM: To assess the clinical effects of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in the treatment of choledocholithiasis with ectopic duodenal papilla.
METHODS: Clinical cases of choledocholithiasis were collected through the hospital's database to identify the cases with ectopic papilla of Vater. Based on the location of duodenal papilla, the safety and efficacy of ERCP were analyzed.
RESULTS: The total number of choledocholithiasis patients who had undergone ERCP was 968 cases, and the number of cases with ectopic duodenal papilla was 6 (0.62%). Of the 6 patients, 2 underwent surgery, 3 were treated by biliary stent placement, and 1 had successful stone removal.
CONCLUSION: Patients suffering from choledocholithiasis with ectopic duodenal papilla can be treated by ERCP, and surgery can be considered a useful alternative.
