Core Tip	Endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) is generally accepted as a safe and effective endoscopic modality in the treatment of choledocholithiasis. However, there are few reports evaluating whether EST contributes to better health-related quality of life improvement in patients undergoing cholelithotomy compared with open choledochotomy (OCT). The present study is the first report regarding the benefits of EST and OCT on gastrointestinal quality of life in a prospective comparative design. The current results show that EST, compared with OCT, is associated with better overall gastrointestinal quality of life in choledocholithiasis patients.
