Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Retained bile duct stones in patients who have undergone prior cholecystectomy are removed by operation or endoscopic sphincterotomy. We achieved dissolution of cholesterol duct stones by perfusion with monooctanoin, a commercially available mixture of medium chain glycerides. Sixteen patients were treated in whom endoscopic sphincterotomy was impossible or unsuccessful. In 12 patients, 16 stones were dissolved within 6 to 25 days (mean, 15.6 days). In all successfully treated patients elevated serum liver enzymes became normal during therapy. |
