dc.description.abstractRecent development of new cannulation instruments and techniques, improvement in the lithotripsy methods and the advent of laparoscopic surgery have changed the management of common duct stones. Previously surgical intervention was the mainstay of treatment, but now most can be successfully treated endoscopically. Endoscopic Retrogradecholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and Endoscopic Sphincterotomy ( EST) is accepted as the gold standard for the management of common duct stones. There are many reports of early results of EST, however few reviews regarding the medium to long term sequelae of EST for the treatment of common duct stones. The local data about this subject is very scanty. Hence forth a study conducted to include the demography, success rate and medium to long term sequelae of EST in patients with common duct stones. This is a retrospective descriptive study done on 224 patients with common duct stones who underwent EST in Endoscopy Unit of Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia from 1992 to 1998.en_US
