Question:
Has anyone ever heard of a sphincter of Oddi dysfunction

Through research I came up with this: The sphincter of Oddi regulates both bile and pancreatic juice flow into the duodenum. When dysfunction occurs it leads to problems relating to either the bile or pancreatic ducts. On the biliary side, the most common problem is recurrent biliary type pain following cholecystectomy. I'm not sure if this would be helped by having the DS or if the DS would not be able to be performed if you have this. Thank you in advance Anniee    — Ann M. (posted on June 1, 2003)
