note = "Recurrent biliary pancreatitis frequently is associated with an intact gallbladder containing stones. This condition has been effectively treated by removing the gallbladder, but there is evidence that endoscopic sphincterotomy might obviate the need for cholecystectomy in some patients. We performed prophylactic sphincterotomy in 49 patients who presented with biliary pancreatitis more than once and who were considered at risk for surgery.",
