“…Compared to open procedure, laparoscopic bile duct exploration is associated with less blood loss, post-operative pain and morbidity, shorter hospital stay as well as shorter recovery time. 7 , 8 A study by Grubnik et al 9 showed that the post-operative morbidity in open CBD exploration was higher at 12.7% compared to 6.5% in the laparoscopic group. Another study utilising the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database to compare open and minimally invasive bile duct exploration involving 2635 patients showed that the open procedure was associated with a statistically significant higher rate in mortality, composite morbidity, bleeding, return to the operation room and readmission.…”

Choledochotomy and choledochoduodenostomy were commonly used technique in the early twentieth century to extract bile duct stones. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and sphincterotomy revolutionised the scenario and is currently the preferred first-line option for managing choledocholithiasis. However, in certain circumstances, where endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography fails, choledochotomy and choledochoduodenostomy are the only available options. We present the case of an 86-year-old female with a background of multiple previous presentations with biliary sepsis and ascending cholangitis requiring multiple endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatographies that failed to remove all stones in the common bile duct. She underwent a laparoscopic choledochotomy and choledochoduodenostomy that successfully resolved her common bile duct obstruction. Laparoscopic choledochotomy and choledochoduodenostomy reduce the length of hospital stay and help to minimise complications associated with open surgery.
