Abstract
Functional biliary Sphincter of Oddi disorder, previously referred to as Sphincter of Oddi Dysfunction, is an established cause of recurrent acute pancreatitis which is defined as two or more episodes of documented acute pancreatitis per year. Data on the efficacy of endoscopic sphincterotomy in preventing future episodes of pancreatitis is limited. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the clinical efficacy of index endoscopic sphincterotomy in patients with Recurrent Acute Pancreatitis secondary to manometrically proven functional biliary Sphincter of Oddi disorder. Our goal was to assess reduction in episodes of pancreatitis following sphincterotomy, and not to assess chronic pain in these patients.
