SO: sphincter of Oddi, CBD: common bile duct, PAD: periampullary diverticula. No significant difference in basal SO pressure, amplitude, and frequency compared with the CBD diameter, CBD stone numbers, prior cholecystectomy, periampullary diverticula (PAD), and symptoms. The mean basal SO pressure in patients with CBD stones ≤ 10 mm was significantly higher than in those with larger CBD stones. The differences of SO amplitudes and frequencies were not significant. |
