Abstract
A 6-year-old girl previously diagnosed with hereditary spherocytosis was admitted to our hospital with gallstones and cholangitis. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) was performed, and fluoroscopy revealed a dilated common bile duct (CBD) without evident stones, possibly due to spontaneous excretion through the papilla of Vater. A 7-French plastic stent was inserted into the CBD. After the procedure, a marked increase in pancreatic enzyme levels was observed, and she was diagnosed with post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP). Stent placement could have been a cause of pancreatitis; therefore, we removed the stent. Subsequently, recovery from pancreatitis was confirmed, although she suddenly complained of abdominal pain and was diagnosed with choledocholithiasis recurrence. ERCP was repeated, and fluoroscopy revealed a dilated CBD with a stone. A minimal endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) was performed to reduce the risk of PEP, and a biliary dilation balloon placed across the papilla was gradually inflated until the waist of the balloon disappeared. Stones were extracted using a retrieval balloon catheter. The abdominal pain resolved immediately, and the patient recovered without developing PEP. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of a pediatric patient treated with minimal EST followed by papillary balloon dilation for choledocholithiasis.

Abstract
Background: Endoscopic management of common bile duct stones (CBDS) is standard; however, various techniques are performed via the papilla, and the best procedure in terms of both efficacy and safety has not been determined. Methods: Endoscopic procedures were classified into five categories according to endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) and balloon dilation (BD): (1) EST, (2) endoscopic papillary BD (≤10 mm) (EPBD), (3) EST followed by BD (≤10 mm) (ESBD), (4) endoscopic papillary large BD (≥12 mm) (EPLBD), and (5) EST followed by large BD (≥12 mm) (ESLBD). We performed a literature review of prospective and retrospective studies to compare efficacy and adverse events (AEs). Each procedure was associated with different efficacy and AE profiles. Results: In total, 19 prospective and seven retrospective studies with a total of 3930 patients were included in this study. For EST, the complete stone removal rate at the first session, rate of mechanical lithotripsy (ML), and rate of overall AEs in EST were superior to EPBD, but a higher rate of bleeding was found for EST. Based on one retrospective study, complete stone removal rate at the first session, rate of ML, and rate of overall AEs were superior for ESBD vs. EST, and the rate of bleeding for the former was also lower. Complete stone removal rate at the first session and rate of ML for ESLBD were superior to those for EST, with no significant difference in rate of AEs. For EST vs. EPLBD, complete stone removal rate at the first session and rate of ML were superior for the latter. For EPLBD vs. ESLBD, the efficacy and safety were similar. Conclusions: ESBD is considered the best procedure for the management of small CBDS, but strong evidence is lacking. For large CBDS, both ESLBD and EPLBD are similar.
