Abstract

A descriptive and retrospective study was carried out at the Gastroenterology Services of the Arnaldo Milian Castro University Hospital in Santa Clara, Villa Clara. It included all the patients who were considered as having symptoms of obstructive disease of the main bile duct, with the indication of an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, since February 2004 to March 2007. The universe of study was formed by the total amount of procedures carried out, and the sample was formed by the concluding reports of benign disease of the main bile duct. The information was obtained by a review of the reports of cholangiopancreatographies. In the series, the patients from the age group between 51 and 60 years of age (31.1%) were prevalent; being the female sex the most frequent one (67.9%). The suspicion of gallbladder lithiasis and choledocal lithiasis was the most frequent indication (39.9 %), being the choledocal lithiasis (44.4%) and odditis (29.9%) the most diagnosed conditions. The most used therapeutic procedure was the endoscopic sphincterotomy with extraction of calculus (52.6%); the complications represented 3.9 percent, with prevalence of discrete bleeding.
