    Routine operative cholangiography is recommended for detecting common bile duct stones during cholecystectomies. Selective use may increase retained stones, making routine examination the preferred method for patient safety.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Procedures
    • Diagnostic Imaging

    Background:

    • Common bile duct stones present a significant challenge in general surgery.
    • Operative cholangiography is the established standard for stone detection.
    • Recent debate questions the routine use of cholangiography, advocating for selective application.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To re-evaluate the efficacy of routine operative cholangiography.
    • To compare the outcomes of routine versus selective cholangiography in cholecystectomies.
    • To assess the impact on positive exploration and retained stone rates.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of 262 cholecystectomy cases.
    • Comparison of outcomes between routine and selective cholangiography strategies.

  • Evaluation of positive exploration rates and retained stone incidence.

    • Main Results:

    • Routine cholangiography yielded a 66% positive exploration rate with a 5% retained stone rate.
    • Selective cholangiography might have involved 47% of patients, with a 70% positive rate but a potential 10% retained stone rate.
    • Potential improvements for routine cholangiography's positive exploration rate were identified.

    Conclusions:

    • Routine operative cholangiography demonstrates a lower retained stone rate compared to selective use.
    • The findings support the continued recommendation for routine cholangiography in cholecystectomies.
    • Selective cholangiography appears less favorable due to a higher risk of retained common bile duct stones.
