Key Words	Common bile duct stone; Endoscopic papillary balloon dilatation; Endoscopic sphincteropapillotomy; Meta-analysis
Core Tip	A meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the outcomes of endoscopic sphincteropapillotomy (EST) and endoscopic papillary balloon dilatation (EPBD) from previously published reports. Fourteen randomized trials involving 1975 patients were analyzed. Of those, 980 were treated with EPBD and 995 were treated with EST. Differences were observed between the treatments in total stone clearance, short-term complications, and long-term complications. Compared to EST, the overall stone clearance rate was lower, and the incidence of pancreatitis was higher with EPBD. Thus, EPBD may decrease the incidence of long-term complications and be more suitable for patients who have a high risk of bleeding.
