Summary

To compare the technique of combined balloon sphincter dilation after an initial sphincterotomy and standard sphincterotomy in the endoscopic removal of large bile duct stones. The investigators hypothesize that combined balloon dilation and sphincterotomy allows for easier stone removal without added morbidities when compared to standard sphincterotomy.
