    Fluorocholangiography is recommended after bile duct exploration for stones. Choledochoscopy is useful for residual stones or strictures, especially with abnormal X-ray findings.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Procedures
    • Diagnostic Imaging

    Background:

    • Bile duct calculus disease necessitates exploration.
    • Accurate intraoperative assessment is crucial for successful outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To prospectively evaluate the utility of per-operative fluorocholangiography and choledochoscopy.
    • To assess their roles in bile duct exploration for calculus disease.

    Main Methods:

    • Prospective evaluation of 59 patients undergoing bile duct exploration.
    • Utilized fluorocholangiography and choledochoscopy for diagnosis and guidance.

    Main Results:

    • Fluorocholangiography identified filling defects in 13 cases, aiding stone localization and ampullary patency assessment.

  • Choledochoscopy confirmed stones in nine cases, identified four false-positive X-rays, and facilitated removal of residual stones.
  • Biopsy of a benign stricture was performed during choledochoscopy.

    • Conclusions:

    • Fluorocholangiography should be a routine procedure post-bile duct exploration.
    • Choledochoscopy serves as a valuable adjunct, particularly for abnormal X-ray findings, residual stone removal, and stricture biopsy.
