First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated May 06, 2026 · Updated 17 times
Summary
This study tested a new surgical technique called Antegrade Sphincterotomy Dovbenko (ASD) against the standard method for removing bile duct stones or treating blockages. Over 1,500 adults participated. The new method uses a special tool designed to cut only the necessary muscle layer, potentially reducing risks like bleeding, infection, or injury. The goal was to see if this gentler approach leads to fewer complications.
