[Endoscopic papillosphincterotomy in early childhood].

Cholelithiasis may be complicated by choledocholithiasis that is quite rare in children. Surgical correction in children with distal block of the common bile duct is determined by efficacy of therapy, concomitant duodenopancreatobiliary anomalies and diseases. A 2-year-old girl (body weight 9 kg) admitted with complaints of abdominal pain, gray stool and jaundice of skin. Clinical, laboratory and instrumental examination revealed choledocholithiasis. Endoscopic retrograde typical papillosphincterotomy was performed without adverse events. The child was discharged in 3 postoperative days with positive clinical and laboratory data. In this case, body weight (9 kg) caused technical difficulties. However, appropriate experience in endoscopic procedures in children contributed to favorable postoperative outcomes.
