| Abstract: | An EST was performed on 33 patients with choledocholithiasis and a previous Billroth II gastrectomy according to an alternative technique, using a cannula as a cutting guide. This seems to be an easy and safe technique which may be used in cases in which the deep cannulation of the common bile duct is possible. |
