| Common Bile Duct Neoplasms Neoplasms of the common bile duct including Vater's ampulla and Oddi's sphincter. | |
| Urinary Sphincter, Artificial Genitourinary Sphincter, Artificial | Artificial Genitourinary Sphincter | Artificial Genitourinary Sphincters | Artificial Urinary Sphincter | Artificial Urinary Sphincters | Genitourinary Sphincters, Artificial An artifical implanted device, usually in the form of an inflatable silicone cuff, inserted in or around the bladder neck in the surgical treatment of urinary incontinence caused by sphincter weakness.

| Sphincterotomy, Endoscopic Endoscopic Papillotomy | Endoscopic Sphincterotomy | Papillotomy, Endoscopic | Endoscopic Papillotomies | Endoscopic Sphincterotomies | Papillotomies, Endoscopic | Sphincterotomies, Endoscopic Incision of Oddi's sphincter or Vater's ampulla performed by inserting a sphincterotome through an endoscope (DUODENOSCOPE) often following retrograde cholangiography (CHOLANGIOPANCREATOGRAPHY, ENDOSCOPIC RETROGRADE). Endoscopic treatment by sphincterotomy is the preferred method of treatment for patients with retained or recurrent bile duct stones post-cholecystectomy, and for poor-surgical-risk patients that have the gallbladder still present. | |
| Rectal Prolapse Anus Prolapse | Anus Prolapses | Prolapse, Anus | Prolapse, Rectal | Prolapses, Anus | Prolapses, Rectal | Rectal Prolapses Protrusion of the rectal mucous membrane through the anus.

| Esophageal Achalasia Achalasia, Esophageal | Cardiospasm | Megaesophagus | Achalasias, Esophageal | Cardiospasms | Esophageal Achalasias Disorder of lower esophagogastric motility due to failure of the lower esophageal sphincter to relax with swallowing. It is sometimes caused by degeneration of the ganglion cells of the myenteric plexus or of the vagal motor nuclei. | |
| Gallbladder Emptying Gall Bladder Emptying | Emptying, Gall Bladder | Emptying, Gallbladder A process whereby bile is delivered from the gallbladder into the duodenum. The emptying is caused by both contraction of the gallbladder and relaxation of the sphincter mechanism at the choledochal terminus. | |
