Area of Science:

Medical Imaging
Surgical Procedures
Gastroenterology

Background:

Cholecystectomy and choledochotomy are common surgical procedures for gallstone disease.
Missed common bile duct stones can lead to complications if not identified postoperatively.

Observation:

This case report details a missed stone identified after cholecystectomy and choledochotomy.
Postoperative cholangiography was crucial for diagnosing the retained stone.

Findings:

Theoretical and practical aspects of postoperative cholangiography are discussed.
Recommendations are provided for optimal contrast dilution and radiographic factors to enhance diagnostic accuracy.

Implications:

Improved diagnostic strategies for retained common bile duct stones.

Enhanced understanding of postoperative cholangiography techniques for surgical teams.

Potential reduction in complications associated with missed gallstones.
