Delayed bleeding occurs from a few hours up to 2 wk after the procedure. [13] Perforation: the incidence of sphincterotomy related perforation, also named Type 2 duodenal perforation, is between 0% and 1.8%. [12] Cholangitis/sepsis: the incidence of cholangitis after biliary endoscopic sphincterotomy is between 1% and 3%. [1]
Cholecystostomy or (cholecystotomy) is a medical procedure used to drain the gallbladder through either a percutaneous or endoscopic approach. The procedure involves creating a stoma in the gallbladder, which can facilitate placement of a tube or stent for drainage , first performed by American surgeon, Dr. John Stough Bobbs , in 1867.

Endoclips have also found an application in preventing bleeding when performing complicated endoscopic procedures. For example, prophylactic clipping of the base of a polyp has been found to be useful in preventing post- polypectomy bleeding, especially in high-risk patients or patients on anticoagulant medications.

[20] [21] Intestinal perforation is a risk of any gastroenterologic endoscopic procedure, and is an additional risk if a sphincterotomy is performed. As the second part of the duodenum is anatomically in a retroperitoneal location (that is, behind the peritoneal structures of the abdomen), perforations due to sphincterotomies are retroperitoneal.
