BACKGROUND: Endoscopic papillary large balloon dilation (EPLBD) without prior endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST ) produces excellent outcomes for the treatment of large common bile duct (CBD) stones . However, it remains unclear how the outcomes of EPLBD alone compare with those of EPLBD with EST . In this study, we assessed the safety and therapeutic outcomes of EPLBD with vs. without EST for the removal of large bile duct stones . METHODS: This prospective, multicenter study was conducted on 200 patients with bile duct stones of ≥ 10 mm in diameter . Patients were randomly assigned to an EPLBD alone group (n = 100) or an EPLBD with EST group (n = 100). These two groups were compared with respect to overall procedure-related adverse events, overall stone removal success rate, number of endoscopic sessions required for complete stone removal, need for mechanical lithotripsy, and total procedure time . RESULTS: The incidence of adverse events was not significantly different between the groups (EPLBD alone vs. EPLBD with EST : overall adverse events 6 % vs. 4 %, P = 0.75; pancreatitis 1 % vs. 3 %, P = 0.62). Overall success (P = 0.35), initial success (P = 0.28), and the need for mechanical lithotripsy (P = 0.39) were also similar between groups. Median total procedure time tended to be greater in the EPLBD alone group (20.5 minutes) than in the EPLBD with EST group (18 minutes; P = 0.08). CONCLUSION: The therapeutic outcomes and adverse events of EPLBD alone for the removal of large bile duct stones were comparable to those of EPLBD with EST . © Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart · New York.
