“…Whatever the figure quoted, there is agreement that the incidence of choledocholithiasis in acute cholecystitis is similar to that for cholecystectomy as a whole. In a large series of cholecystectomies Zollinger, Boles, and Crawford (1955) found common bile-duct stones at 14 per cent of operations for acute cholecystitis and in 17 per cent of patients undergoing elective cholecystectomy. Corresponding figures reported by Glenn and Thorbjarnarson (1963) were 7.1 per cent and 9 per cent, and by Colcock and Perey (1964), 11.4 and 7.9 per cent.…”

A series of 144 patients with acute cholecystitis included 32 who were jaundiced. Seventy‐three per cent of the jaundiced group had stones in the common bile‐duct, compared with only 6.5 per cent of nonjaundiced patients. Jaundice in acute cholecystitis is, therefore, a strong indication for exploration of the common bile‐duct. This applies not only to elective but also to emergency or early operation.
