    This study evaluated indicators for common bile duct stones in 457 patients. A combination of criteria effectively predicted choledocholithiasis, guiding the need for intraoperative cholangiography.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Hepatobiliary Surgery

    Background:

    • Gallstone disease is common, with potential complications like common bile duct calculi (choledocholithiasis).
    • Accurate prediction of choledocholithiasis is crucial for appropriate surgical management and preventing complications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the predictive accuracy of various clinical and laboratory indicators for common bile duct calculi.
    • To determine the optimal strategy for intraoperative cholangiography during cholecystectomy.

    Main Methods:

    • Prospective screening of 457 patients undergoing cholecystectomy for 11 predefined criteria of choledocholithiasis.
    • Assessment of individual and combined predictive abilities of these criteria.
    • Comparison of outcomes between patients with and without common bile duct exploration.

    Main Results:

    • Most criteria, excluding pancreatitis history, significantly predicted choledocholithiasis.
    • A positive correlation was observed between the number of positive criteria and the incidence of common bile duct calculi.
    • The total set of criteria demonstrated a high negative predictive value (98%) and sensitivity (89.5%).
    • Common bile duct exploration led to increased complications and hospital stay compared to simple cholecystectomy.

    Conclusions:

    • A combination of criteria can reliably predict the presence of common bile duct calculi.
    • Intraoperative cholangiography is recommended for patients with one or more positive predictive criteria.
    • Routine cholangiography in patients without positive criteria is not indicated.
