About Transduodenal Sphincteroplasty

Transduodenal sphincteroplasty is a specialized surgical procedure performed by a surgical gastroenterologist to treat chronic or recurrent issues related to the sphincter of Oddi, a muscular valve that controls the flow of bile and pancreatic juices from the liver and pancreas into the small intestine. The procedure involves making an incision through the wall of the duodenum (the first part of the small intestine) to directly access and surgically widen this sphincter. This alleviates obstruction, improves drainage, and relieves debilitating symptoms like severe upper abdominal pain, pancreatitis, or jaundice. It is typically considered when less invasive endoscopic treatments have failed or are not feasible, offering a definitive solution for patients with complex biliary or pancreatic duct disorders.

Key Highlights

Definitive surgical solution for complex sphincter of Oddi dysfunction.Direct visualization and repair of the anatomical obstruction.Can prevent recurrent episodes of acute pancreatitis or cholangitis.Often considered when endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) with sphincterotomy is unsuccessful or risky.Performed by highly trained surgical gastroenterologists for precision.

Who is this surgery for?

Chronic or recurrent pancreatitis caused by sphincter of Oddi dysfunction.
Stenosis (narrowing) or scarring of the sphincter of Oddi.
Failed or complicated previous endoscopic sphincterotomy.
Recurrent bile duct stones or cholangitis (bile duct infection).
