    Choledochoscopy using a rigid scope helps find retained common bile duct stones and other issues. This review of 50 procedures shows its value in ensuring bile duct clearance post-exploration.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Endoscopy

    Background:

    • Retained common bile duct stones are a complication of bile duct exploration.
    • Accurate intraoperative assessment is crucial to prevent retained stones.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the utility of rigid choledochoscopy in identifying retained common bile duct stones and other pathologies.
    • To assess the effectiveness of choledochoscopy in minimizing retained stones after common bile duct exploration.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of 50 endoscopic procedures using a rigid choledochoscope.
    • Intraoperative findings during choledochoscopy were compared with postoperative cholangiography results.

    Main Results:

    • Choledochoscopy identified retained stones or debris in 7 cases.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • An unsuspected neoplasm and a neoplastic stricture were diagnosed in 2 cases.
  • Postoperative cholangiography revealed retained stones in 2 cases not detected during choledochoscopy.

    • Conclusions:

    • Rigid choledochoscopy is a valuable tool for detecting retained common bile duct stones and other biliary tract pathologies.
    • While effective, choledochoscopy may not detect all retained stones, highlighting the importance of careful surgical technique and judicious use of postoperative imaging.
