Intraoperative choledochoscopy significantly reduces residual common bile duct (CBD) stones after surgery for choledocholithiasis. This accessory procedure enhances the completeness of stone extraction, improving patient outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Endoscopy
  • Biliary Tract Surgery

Context:

  • Choledocholithiasis is frequently managed endoscopically.
  • Open surgery for common bile duct (CBD) stones is reserved for cases where endoscopy fails.
  • Ensuring complete stone extraction is crucial for successful treatment.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of intraoperative choledochoscopy in confirming the completeness of stone extraction during CBD exploration for choledocholithiasis.
  • To compare the incidence of residual CBD stones in patients who underwent choledocholithotomy with choledochoscopy versus those who underwent CBD exploration without choledochoscopy.

Summary:

  • A retrospective analysis of 46 patients with CBD stones was conducted over seven years.
  • Twenty-one patients underwent choledocholithotomy with intraoperative choledochoscopy, with no residual stones reported.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Twenty-five patients underwent CBD exploration without choledochoscopy, resulting in residual stones in 3 patients (p=0.10).

    • Impact:

    • Intraoperative choledochoscopy can decrease the rate of residual CBD stones.
    • The findings suggest that peroperative choledochoscopy is a valuable adjunct to CBD exploration.
    • This procedure helps prevent overlooking retained stones, potentially improving surgical outcomes.
