ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

Transduodenal sphincteroplasty is a safe, effective, reliable procedure in the treatment of choledocholithiasis. The fact that it can be practiced without radiographic surveillance makes it uniquely applicable during pregnancy. There are no reports applying this mode of treatment to the pregnant woman with choledocholithiasis
