We report the cases of three patients who fulfilled the criteria for sphincter of Oddi dysfunction of biliary type II and underwent needle-knife suprapapillary sphincterotomy. These patients presented with episodes of biliary-type pain after cholecystectomy and significant elevation of liver enzymes. Ultrasonography and MRI cholangiography revealed dilatation of the common bile duct, without visible stones. The patients all underwent needle-knife suprapapillary sphincterotomy because free cannulation of the common bile duct could not be achieved. Needle-knife suprapapillary sphincterotomy enabled catheterization of the common bile duct. After clearing of the common bile duct with a balloon catheter, no stones, fragments of stones, or sludge were observed to exit from the sphincterotomy. None of our patients developed postprocedure pancreatitis. When needle-knife suprapillary sphincterotomy is performed by an experienced biliary endoscopist, it is a safe and effective procedure for patients with sphincter of Oddi dysfunction of biliary type II, who otherwise constitute a high-risk group for the development of postsphincterotomy pancreatitis.
