Choledochoscopy is a key technique for removing common bile duct stones during surgery, offering high success rates and low morbidity. This method enhances patient care and cost-effectiveness in bile duct exploration procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Gastroenterology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Laparoscopic cholecystectomy and common bile duct exploration are standard surgical procedures.
  • Common bile duct stones require effective management for successful patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the importance of choledochoscopy in managing common bile duct stones.
  • To outline various methods of choledochoscope insertion for optimal surgical strategy.

Main Methods:

  • Choledochoscopy can be introduced intraoperatively via the cystic duct or directly into the common bile duct.
  • Alternative insertion routes include transhepatic via a T-tube tract and peroral using a duodenoscope.

Main Results:

  • Successful stone extraction rates using choledochoscopy range from 75% to 95%.

  • The procedure is associated with a morbidity rate of less than 5%.

    • Conclusions:

    • Familiarity with multiple choledochoscopy techniques maximizes surgical care options.
    • Choledochoscopy improves the cost-benefit ratio of common bile duct exploration.
