Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) has become one of the most important techniques for the diagnosis and treatment of choledocholithiasis. Endoscopic balloon dilatation (EBD) and endoscopic sphincterotomy (ES) are the most important endoscopic techniques used for retrieval of common bile duct stones (1) and ES is the most commonly used method as a standard technique. (2) Despite the relative safety of ES the overall complication rate is about 10%. (3) The short-term risk of pancreatitis
