Abstract

Our results suggest that suprapapillary fistulosphincterotomy is a valuable adjunct in the management of biliary disease at ERCP, but, in view of the increased risk of complications, it should be reserved for patients in whom the index of suspicion for biliary disease is high and further endoscopic treatment is likely.
