| Abstract |
Endoscopic treatment of difficult common bile duct (CBD) stones (diameter ≥ 10 mm, or four or more) is difficult in patients who have undergone Billroth II (B-II) gastrectomy. Endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) can be particularly troublesome due to anatomical changes effected by the gastrectomy. |
