The aim of this study was to assess the value of performing prophylactic endoscopic sphincterotomy in patients suffering from acute biliary pancreatitis and absent common bile duct stones on endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Methods:\u2002<\/jats:bold> Hospital notes of patients admitted to our unit with a diagnosis of acute pancreatitis from January 2000 to January 2005 were reviewed. Endoscopic sphincterotomy was performed when patients were deemed unfit for cholecystectomy, suffering from a severe attack of acute pancreatitis and\/or showing evidence of transient common bile duct obstruction. The outcomes of patients with and without endoscopic sphincterotomy were compared.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:\u2002<\/jats:bold> A total of 427 patients were admitted with a diagnosis of acute pancreatitis during the study period. Eighty\u2010eight patients with absent common bile duct stones on ERCP were identified. Endoscopic sphincterotomy was performed in 71 patients and not performed in 17 patients. There was no significant difference in recurrent pancreatitis rates (1.4% <jats:italic>vs<\/jats:italic> 5.8%, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2003=\u20030.35), recurrent biliary complication rates (5.6% <jats:italic>vs<\/jats:italic> 5.9%, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2003=\u20031) or mortality rates (5.8% <jats:italic>vs<\/jats:italic> 1.5%, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2003=\u20030.35). The time to recurrent complications (38.4\u2003days <jats:italic>vs<\/jats:italic> 41.0\u2003days, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2003=\u20030.38) was not significantly different between the two groups. There was no ERCP\u2010related morbidity or mortality.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion:\u2002<\/jats:bold> Prophylactic endoscopic sphincterotomy is not recommended in patients with transient common bile duct obstruction or as an option to cholecystectomy in elderly patients.
