Choledochoscopy in choledocholithiasis

Journal of British Surgery, 1973
Abstract Stones are overlooked in the bile-ducts during operations for gall-stones sufficiently often to pose a continuing problem. The choledochoscope, first described 50 years ago, has recently been developed to a degree which makes it valuable in locating common-duct stones, besides permitting observation of changes in the ducts which

When Enzymes Mislead: Assessing the Value of MRCP in Suspected Choledocholithiasis

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The diagnosis of choledocholithiasis (CDL) requires balancing timely intervention against the risks of unnecessary invasive procedures. Although liver function tests (LFTs) are widely used for risk stratification, their static values and short‐term trends remain poorly defined in predicting persistent common bile duct stones.

Cost-Effectiveness Analysis of Endoscopic Ultrasound versus Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography in Patients with Suspected Common Bile Duct Stones. [PDF]

, 2015
Patients with suspected common bile duct (CBD) stones are often diagnosed using endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), an invasive procedure with risk of significant complications.

Diagnostic Guidelines for the Evaluation of Choledocholithiasis in Patients With Acute Biliary Presentations: A Study of Their Applicability and Feasibility in a Publicly Funded Healthcare System

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The American and European Societies of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE and ESGE) have published diagnostic guidelines for the evaluation of choledocholithiasis. The applicability and feasibility of these guidelines in a publicly funded health care system, such as ours in Aotearoa New Zealand, are not known. This retrospective study

Cost‐Effectiveness of Laparoscopic Common Bile Duct Exploration Versus Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography in Emergency Stone Management

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
Among 337 patients undergoing emergency management of common bile duct stones, laparoscopic common bile duct exploration was associated with lower healthcare costs, fewer procedures and shorter hospital stays than ERCP‐based management, supporting single‐stage surgical management as a safe and cost‐effective treatment strategy.

Liver cirrhosis may increase the incidence of delayed bleeding and mortality after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography for common bile duct stones

Frontiers in Medicine
Background and purposeCholedocholithiasis is a common disease. However, the results of studies on the complications of choledocholithiasis with cirrhosis by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) are inconsistent. Therefore, the purpose of
