    Summary

    Postoperative choledochoscopy using a choledochofiberscope is effective for evaluating and removing retained biliary stones. This minimally invasive technique offers improved outcomes for difficult or multiple stones compared to traditional methods.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Endoscopy
    • Biliary Tract Surgery

    Background:

    • Retained biliary calculi management is challenging.
    • Current methods like T-tube irrigation and basket catheters have limitations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness of postoperative choledochoscopy for retained biliary stones.
    • To assess the feasibility of using a choledochofiberscope via T-tube tract.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 17 patients undergoing postoperative choledochoscopy.
    • Utilized a choledochofiberscope passed through the T-tube tract.
    • Dilation of T-tube tract was performed when necessary.

    Main Results:

    • Choledochoscopy was consistently effective in evaluating filling defects.
    • Successful removal of difficult or multiple retained stones was achieved.
    • T-tube tract dilation was easily accomplished.

    Conclusions:

    • Postoperative choledochoscopy is a valuable tool for retained biliary stone management.
    • The technique allows direct visualization and stone removal.
    • Larger T-tube designs may further enhance access and visualization.
