Incidence <strong>of</strong> Retroduodenal<br />
Perfor<strong>at</strong>ion<br />
• Retroduodenal perfor<strong>at</strong>ion was reported in 0.5 to<br />
2.1% <strong>of</strong> sphincterotomies in older large series<br />
• More recently, the incidence <strong>of</strong> perfor<strong>at</strong>ion has<br />
appeared to decrease to less than 0.5%,<br />
probably because <strong>of</strong> improvement in experience<br />
and skill <strong>of</strong> the endoscopists<br />
