Defining Sphincter of Oddi Dysfunction
Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Clinics of North America, 1996Sphincter of Oddi (SO) dysmotility may give rise to pain. The golden standard for the demonstration of SO dysfunction is endoscopic manometry. A number of abnormalities are observed in patients with postcholecystectomy pain and in patients with idiopathic recurrent pancreatitis.

Physiology and Pathophysiology of the Biliary Tract: The Gallbladder and Sphincter of Oddi—A Review
ISRN Physiology, 2013 The biliary tract collects, stores, concentrates, and delivers bile secreted by the liver. Its motility is controlled by neurohormonal mechanisms with the vagus and splanchnic nerves and the hormone cholecystokinin playing key roles.

Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, 1996
In 1887, Ruggero Oddi, described the sphincter of Oddi (SO) (1). But until recently, problems related to sphincter of Oddi dysfunction were either poorly diagnosed or were treated empirically with surgery. The introduction of endoscopie retrograde examination of the biliary and pancreatic ducts provided an opportunity for evaluating the sphincter ...

Pharmacology of the Sphincter of Oddi
Endoscopy, 1988The sphincter of Oddi is the smooth muscle connection between the bile duct and the duodenum. Its physiological function is associated with a regular motility characterized by phasic contractions superimposed on the sphincter of Oddi baseline pressure. Recently introduced ERCP-manometry permits further studies of sphincter of Oddi pharmacology.

Pathophysiology of the Sphincter of Oddi
Surgical Clinics of North America, 1993Pathophysiology of the sphincter of Oddi--or sphincter of Oddi dysfunction--manifests as either a biliary-type pain syndrome or recurrent pancreatitis. Imaging studies are unreliable, and direct endoscopic manometry is used to diagnose this entity. Milwaukee biliary classification, in addition to manometry, helps guide therapy.

Hormonal control of sphincter of Oddi
Digestive Diseases and Sciences, 1986The sphincter of Oddi (SO) is normally closed during fasting, limiting bile flow. It then relaxes during a meal, allowing bile to enter the intestine. Many investigators believe that not only gallbladder contractions but also relaxation of the SO are necessary for emptying the biliary tree, as pointed out by Ryan (1).

The Gastroenterologist, 1996
It has been more than 100 years since Rugero Oddi described the sphincter that bears his name. In that time, investigators have determined its precise anatomy and they have demonstrated its independence from the duodenal muscle wall. Modern manometric techniques have defined the motor activity of the sphincter and motility abnormalities in patients ...

EVALUATION OF SPHINCTER OF ODDI FUNCTION
Australian and New Zealand Journal of Surgery, 1989Disorders of sphincter of oddi motility are being recognized as a cause for post‐cholecystectomy pain. Objective diagnosis of sphincter of oddi dysfunction is difficult because of the relative inaccessibility of the sphincter. In recent years, a number of investigations have been used in order to diagnose motility disorders of the sph meter of oddi ...
