Abstract
-
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Juxtapapillary duodenal diverticuli are often associated with biliary stones. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of juxtapapillary duodenal diverticuli in biliary stones.
METHODS
Three hundred and thirteen patients underwent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography were studied prospectively.
RESULTS
Seventy-five patients had juxtapapillary duodennl diverticuli(24%). The occurrence of diverticuli increased with age and more commomly in female patients. The prevalence of diverticulii was higher in patients with commom bile duct stones(35.6% vs 17.6%; P 0.002) and gallbladder stones(33.3% vs 17.6%; P=0,001) than in patients without biliary stones (17.6%).
CONCLUSIONS
We conclude that biliary stones are associated with juxtapapillary diverticuli.
