Endoscopic examination of the common bile duct offers excellent diagnostic results using either rigid or flexible instruments. This study highlights its effectiveness in detecting bile duct stones with minimal complications.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Endoscopy
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Context:

  • Endoscopic examination is a key diagnostic tool for common bile duct pathologies.
  • Both rigid and flexible endoscopic instruments are available for common bile duct examination.
  • The cystic duct stump can aid in diagnosing distal bile duct issues via X-ray.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the diagnostic efficacy and safety of endoscopic examination of the common bile duct.
  • To compare the outcomes of endoscopic examination via the cystic duct versus choledochotomy.
  • To report the incidence of bile duct stone detection and missed stones.

Summary:

  • Over 16 years, 1023 patients underwent endoscopic common bile duct examination (330 via cystic duct, 693 via choledochotomy).

  • Bile duct stones were detected in 541 cases (52.9%), with 16 cases (2.9%) of missed stones.
  • Operative choledochoscopy resulted in no severe complications.

    • Impact:

    • Endoscopic examination of the common bile duct is a highly effective diagnostic procedure.
    • The technique demonstrates a low rate of missed diagnoses and a favorable safety profile.
    • Findings support the routine use of endoscopic examination for common bile duct stone detection.
