Management of Choledocholithiasis

Abstract: SINCE CHOLEDOCHOLITHIASIS is responsible for much of the serious morbidity of gallstone disease the detection and elimination of stones within the common bile duct are major objectives of biliary surgery. Various strategies can be used to achieve these goals. For

“…In the case of diagnostic doubt, the external biliary drainage may be the best option because it allows the possible postoperative diagnostic confirmation, and if so, helps the additional endoscopic procedure (31) . The risk to treating calculi less than 3 mm must be balanced with the risk of arising complications (80) . Treatment in such cases should only be indicated in those with history of acute biliary pancreatitis.…”

“…This emphasizes the role of routine intraoperative cholangiography as the only way to establish diagnosis in these circumstances (35,49,65) . Classically, the surgery by laparotomy for access to the main biliary tract constituted the standard treatment for choledocholithiasis, preceding choledocholithotomy and external biliary drainage (80) . In the 70's, the introduction of the retrograde endoscopic cholangiography and subsequently papillotomy permitted a therapeutic alternative, especially in those patients that had previously been subject to cholecystectomy (12,17,23,44) .…”

“…Based on epidemiological evidence the most common bile duct stones originate in the gallbladder. 1,2 Ten percent to 15% of the patients with cholecystectomy experience postcholecystectomy syndrome. 3 Cystic duct stones are involved in post-cholecystectomy pain, failure of insertion of on-table cholangiogram (OTC) catheter and the subsequent development of common bile duct (CBD) stones.…”
