During the period 1982-1988 the author has performed 532 endoscopic papillosphincterotomies. In 288 patients (53.13%) the gall bladder had been previously surgically removed and they suffered from a well-expressed postcholecystectomy syndrome. In 73.6% of the 532 patients there were one or more stones in the main bile duct. In 76 patients a stenosing papillitis was found. The endoscopic papillosphincterotomy was performed mainly in patients over 65 years of age--244 patients (45.86%) suffering from various cardiovascular and other accompanying diseases which increase the risk of operation. The following complications following the endoscopic papillosphincterotomy occurred: bleedings--0.50, acute pancreatitis--3%, lethality--4 patients (0.75%), three patients died following perforation of the duodenal wall (in spite of the immediate surgical treatment) and one patient died from acute destructive hemorrhagic pancreatitis.

We performed 121 endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatographies (ERCPs) in 92 patients (60 girls and 32 boys), aged 4 months to 19 years, as part of diagnostic evaluation for suspected pancreatic or biliary tract disease or as therapeutic intervention. ERCP was successful in 116 attempts. The most common indications were recurrent pancreatitis (35 children), nonresolving acute pancreatitis (20), unexplained elevated amylase or lipase (19), postcholecystectomy syndrome (14), and elevated biliary tract enzymes (12). One hundred and one ERCPs were performed for more than one indication. The most common findings included chronic pancreatitis (26 cases), pancreas divisum (14), dilated pancreatic duct (10), gallstones or sludge (8), and abnormal common bile duct (8). Complications were uncommon and usually minor. ERCP is a safe and helpful procedure in the evaluation of suspected pancreatic and biliary tract disease in children and frequently allows for nonoperative treatment of these disorders.

The results of laparoscopic cholecystectomy, conducted in 71 patients, suffering cholelithiasis, were analyzed. In early postoperative period an acute cholangitis have occurred in 2 (2.8%) patients, an acute pancreatitis--in 1 (1.4%), postoperative infiltrate--in 14(19.7%), suppuration of postoperative cicatrix--in 6 (8.4%); late compli- cations as a kind of postcholecystectomy syndrome was observed in 29 (40.8%) patients, and abdominal hernia--in 3 (4.2%).
