Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Clinics of North America, 1995
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.

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 ...

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%
