    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Biliary endoscopy aids surgeons in detecting and removing residual common duct stones after choledochotomy. This technique improves stone clearance rates and clarifies operative strategy without increasing patient risk.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Innovation
    • Biliary Tract Surgery

    Background:

    • Retained common duct stones are a persistent challenge in biliary surgery.
    • Conventional exploration methods may miss residual calculi.
    • Biliary endoscopy offers a potential solution for improved stone detection.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of biliary endoscopy in detecting residual common duct stones.
    • To assess the impact of endoscopy on surgical strategy and stone clearance.
    • To determine if biliary endoscopy increases postoperative morbidity or mortality.

    Main Methods:

    • A compact, rigid, right-angled choledochoscope was used in 100 patients undergoing choledochotomy.
    • Biliary endoscopy was employed for intraoperative inspection of the biliary tract.

  • Completion operative cholangiography and postoperative T-tube cholangiography were performed.

    • Main Results:

    • Biliary endoscopy detected residual stones in 17 patients, with 5 requiring endoscopic retrieval.
    • Endoscopic findings aided interpretation of cholangiograms in 11 patients and clarified strategy in 3.
    • Stone clearance rates were high, and endoscopy did not increase postoperative complications.

    Conclusions:

    • The evaluated choledochoscope is effective for operative biliary endoscopy.
    • Biliary endoscopy significantly improves the detection and management of retained common duct stones.
    • This technique is a valuable addition for biliary surgeons, addressing the problem of residual stones.
