Core Tip	Endoscopic papillary large balloon dilation (EPLBD) is a highly effective technique for treating difficult bile duct stones. However, the safety of EPLBD is of concern, especially in patients with periampullary diverticula (PAD). In the present study, the clinical outcomes and complications of EPLBD with limited endoscopic sphincterotomy (ES) (EPLBD + ES) and EPLBD alone according to the presence of PAD were not significantly different. We suggest that EPLBD + ES and EPLBD alone are safe and feasible modalities for large bile duct stone removal in patients with PAD. Furthermore, the presence of PAD was not found to affect therapeutic outcomes.
