    Gallbladder-less common bile duct stones were found in 4 of 190 patients undergoing cholecystectomy. Diagnostic imaging like ERCP and PTC accurately identified these stones, highlighting a rare surgical finding.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Radiology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Context:

    • Cholecystectomy is a common surgical procedure.
    • Gallstones are typically found within the gallbladder.
    • This study examines a rare presentation of gallstones exclusively in the common bile duct.

    Purpose:

    • To analyze the clinical and radiological characteristics of patients presenting with common bile duct stones without gallbladder stones.
    • To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of various imaging modalities in detecting these specific stones.

    Summary:

    • Retrospective analysis of 4 patients (out of 190) who underwent cholecystectomy but had stones solely in the common bile duct.
    • Sonography revealed common bile duct dilatation in 2 out of 3 patients.
    • Intravenous cholangiography (IVC), endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), and percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography (PTC) demonstrated common bile duct stones in all tested patients (2/2, 3/3, and 1/1, respectively).

  • ERCP suggested gallbladder stones in one patient, but this was not confirmed during surgery.

    • Impact:

    • Highlights a rare clinical scenario of isolated common bile duct stones.
    • Underscores the importance of considering common bile duct stones even when gallbladder appears normal or stones are absent.
    • Demonstrates the efficacy of advanced imaging techniques like ERCP and PTC in diagnosing challenging cases of choledocholithiasis.
