As a result, Ersoz et al started a combined technique in 2003, which is called Endoscopic sphincterotomy with balloon dilation（ESBD）. ESBD can preserve SO function, reduce the adverse events, increase the stone removal rate. Especially, it can be applied for the stones larger than 12mm in diameters with large balloon dilatation. When ESBD is being performed, the duration of dilation is one of the most important factors affecting the postoperative complications. Whereas, there are issues regarding this technique that need further evaluation, such as the optimal duration of EPBD after EST. Some believe that short-term dilation can achieve the desired results and the duration of balloon dilation is not significantly correlated with postoperative pancreatitis, while opponents believe that although the small sphincterotomy is performed, short-term dilation has not been able to fully relax the residual sphincter. For long-term complications of ESBD, including the incidence of cholangitis, biliary stones recurrence rate, the incidence of biliary stenosis, there is no relative report either.
