Dysfunction of Biliary Sphincter of Oddi
Biliary Sphincter of Oddi dysfunction (SOD) is one of the main causes of post-cholecystectomy pain. Biliary SOD is classified into three types according to Milwaukee classification, based on clinical presentation as well as laboratory and/or imaging abnormalities. As a functional disorder, SOD is classified according to Rome IV criteria. Currently, patients with post-cholecystectomy pain and SOD are mostly diagnosed by the Rome IV criteria. The management of SOD most often involves non-pharmacologic treatment, and high-level evidence supports sphincterotomy in type 1 and 2 SOD. Emerging high-quality data show no effect of sphincterotomy for patients with type 3 SOD. However, ERCP with biliary sphincterotomy is associated with post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) pancreatitis rates from 10% to 15%.
