Operative choledochoscopy effectively aids biliary surgery by reducing retained stones. This technique complements traditional methods for exploring the bile duct, improving surgical outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • Biliary surgery often involves challenges in completely clearing the bile duct.
  • Retained stones and other complications can necessitate further interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of operative choledochoscopy in biliary surgery.
  • To assess its role in reducing retained stones and aiding other procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of 46 patients undergoing operative choledochoscopy during biliary surgery.
  • Review of patient diagnoses, focusing on benign (38 calculi) and malignant conditions (4 cases).

Main Results:

  • Operative choledochoscopy proved effective in complementing cholangiography and conventional bile duct exploration.
