Bleeding after endoscopic sphincterotomy.

A total of 194 patients who underwent 235 endoscopic sphincterotomies for common bile duct (CBD) stones were reviewed with respect to bleeding after the procedure. Evidence of bleeding was found in 21, but was occult in 7. Of the 14 patients with overt bleeding, 6 required operation and 2 died. There was also one death prior to surgery. Early consultation with surgical colleagues, observance of the usual surgical criteria for upper gastro-intestinal haemorrhage and the use of non-absorbable suture material to achieve haemostasis may reduce the morbidity and mortality of this complication of endoscopic sphincterotomy.

The reproducibility of the station pullthrough technique for measuring lower oesophageal sphincter pressure.

The results are presented of two studies of the station pullthrough technique for lower oesophageal manometry. The first part of the work is an assessment of the reproducibility of this technique using both an infused tube system and a system of subminiature, intraluminal strain gauge transducers. The second part of this report describes a study into the effect that the position of the recording hole on the probe may have in relation to the measured pressure for the lower oesophageal sphincter.
