Anomalies of the biliary ducts are a constant source of concern to physicians performing surgery in that area. Numerous variations in the position and length of the cystic duct as well as the cystic artery have been described in detail. Mention has frequently been made of aberrant hepatocystic ducts; however, absence of the common bile duct, discussed ...

Endoscopic lithotripsy in the common bile duct
Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, 1977After appropriate preliminary experiments in animals and in corpses, electrohydraulic lithotripsy has been used for the first time in humans in an attempt to destroy stones in the bile duct. For this purpose, a lithotripsy probe combined with a Dormia basket was constructed.

Ultrasonic evaluation of the common bile duct
Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, 1976AbstractThe efficacy of ultrasound in detecting a tumor in the head of the pancreas as a cause of obstructive jaundice has been well established. With gray scale imaging, it is possible to visualize the biliary tract including the common bile duct, and thereby to differentiate between extrahepatic (obstructive) and intrahepatic (hepatocellular and ...

Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) is a sensitive and specific modality for the detection of choledocholithiasis. In experienced hands, it can be completely effective in almost all patients without significant risk. Prospective studies have shown that the sensitivity and specificity of EUS for the detection of choledocholithiasis rival that of ERCP.

Laparoscopic Common Bile Duct Exploration
Journal of Laparoendoscopic & Advanced Surgical Techniques, 2001Laparoscopic common bile duct (CBD) exploration is gaining favor in the treatment of patients with gallstones and CBD stones. Our aim is to report our results with this procedure, focusing on the technical aspects.All patients with proven CBD stones undergo laparoscopic transcystic CBD exploration, preferably, or a choledochotomy if the former is not ...

IN recent years, cholecystectomy has been performed in an increasing number of patients. As a result, two serious complications of biliary-tract surgery have occurred with increasing frequency. The first and most serious is operative injury to the common bile duct. The other complication is the frequent need for a second operation because of inadequate

Primary closure of the common bile duct in open laparotomy for common bile duct stones
Journal of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Surgery, 2006It is common these days to treat common bile duct (CBD) stones using endoscopic techniques. However, severe complications sometimes lead to death despite the great benefit of these techniques. If the patient has many and/or large stones, it can take considerable time for duct clearance, and this is associated with high costs.

Laparoscopic common bile duct exploration
Langenbeck's Archives of Surgery, 2002In recent years, laparoscopic common bile duct exploration has become the procedure of choice in the management of choledocholithiasis in several laparoscopic centers. The increasing interest for this laparoscopic approach is due to the development of instrumentation and technique, allowing the procedure to be performed safely, and it is also the ...

The missing common bile duct (hepaticocystic duct)
Surgery, 2007A 45-year-old female patient presented to us with cholangitis. There was leucocytosis with neutrophilia, raised serum bilirubin (4.4 mg/dl), raised alkaline phosphatase (630 IU/1), normal transaminase levels, and a normal coagulation profile. Ultrasonography (USG) revealed the presence of a shrunken gallbladder with stones in the neck, an abrupt change

As pointed out by Way, Admirand, and Dunphy, the true incidence of CBD stones in patients undergoing surgery for gallstones is probably between 12% and 15% in the United States. By using indications essentially identical to those stated below and by performing routine preexploratory cystic duct cholangiography, Way performed CBD explorations in only 21%
