Surgical interventions

Sphincterotomy
As per ESGE 2016 guidelines:
Reserve biliary sphincterotomy for patients undergoing pancreatic sphincterotomy in the presence of evidence of coexisting bile duct obstruction or biliary sphincter of Oddi dysfunction.
B
Use mixed current rather than pure cut current alone for sphincterotomy, as there is a decreased risk of mild bleeding with the former.
