Incidence of Pancreatitis in Patients Undergoing Sphincter of Oddi Manometry (SOM)

Abstract

The results of this study indicate that the incidence of pancreatitis was highest when SOM was followed by ERCP. A potential method of decreasing the incidence of pancreatitis after SOM is performing ERCP with or without sphincterotomy at another session, separated from the SOM by at least 24 h. Before this can be definitely recommended, the results of this study must be validated by others or by a prospective study.
