Abstract
Relief of symptoms postoperatively in pediatric patients with BD is inconsistent. Postoperative studies, though numerous, are of low diagnostic yield and generate high costs. These findings suggest that the initial diagnostic criteria and treatment algorithm may require revision to better predict symptom improvement after surgery. Improvement seen after ERCP/sphincterotomy is anecdotal but appears to merit further investigation.
