Triple non-invasive diagnostic test for exclusion of common bile ducts stones before laparoscopic cholecystectomy

Abstract

AIM:To evaluate the impact of a preoperative "triple non-invasive diagnostic test" for diagnosis and/or exclusion of common bile duct stones. METHODS:All patients with symptomatic gallstone disease, operated on by laparoscopic cholecystectomy f r o m M a r c h 2 0 0 4 t o M a r c h 2 0 0 6 w e r e s t u d i e d retrospectively. Two hundred patients were included and reviewed by using a triple diagnostic test including: patient's medical history, routine liver function tests and routine ultrasonography. All patients were followed up 2-24 mo after surgery to evaluate the impact of triple diagnostic test.

“…In our institute we reserve this procedure only for patients with unclear anatomical route of the extrahepatic bile ducts. Instead, we perform a triple diagnostic test preoperatively including medical history, routine liver function tests, and ultrasound examination of the right upper quadrant of the abdomen [ 16 ].…”
