The treatment of choledocholithiasis discovered incidentally during laparoscopic cholecystectomy is not yet standardized. Options include laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE), postoperative endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography with endoscopic sphincterotomy (ERCP-ES), and no intervention. We undertook a review of our case series to determine whether LCBDE is obligatory and which LCBDE method is unsuccessful. During the 6-year study period, 91 patients with choledocholithiasis were identified. Fifty-six patients (62%) underwent LCBDE. Thirteen (23%) of these 56 patients subsequently required ERCP. Balloon sweeping of the common bile duct failed in 10 of 21 patients (48% failure) compared to any other combination of techniques with a failure rate of 1/33 (3%; P < 0.001). Two patients did not undergo complete duct exploration because of technical problems. Thirty-five patients (38%) did not undergo LCBDE. Nine of these patients (26%) did not have ERCP-ES. None of the patients who underwent postoperative ERCP-ES required additional procedures or surgery. LCBDE can successfully treat common bile duct stones, with minimal to no morbidity, but is not mandatory for safely treating choledocholithiasis. Additionally, advanced techniques for clearing the common bile duct are more successful. Surgeons should be proficient at performing these techniques.

BACKGROUND: Endoscopic retrograde cholangiography is highly accurate in diagnosing choledocholithiasis, but it is the most invasive of the available methods. Endoscopic ultrasonography is a very accurate test for the diagnosis of choledocholithiasis with a risk of complications similar to that of upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. AIM: To compare the accuracy of endoscopic ultrassonography and endoscopic retrograde cholangiography in the diagnosis of common bile duct stones before laparoscopic cholecystectomy and to analyze endoscopic ultrasound results according to stone size and common bile duct diameter. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Two hundred and fifteen patients with symptomatic gallstones were admitted for laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Sixty-eight of them (31.7%) had a dilated common bile duct and/or hepatic biochemical parameter abnormalities. They were submitted to endoscopic ultrassonography and endoscopic retrograde cholangiography. Sphincterotomy and sweeping of the common bile duct were performed if endoscopic ultrassonography or endoscopic retrograde cholangiography were considered positive for choledocholithiasis. After sphincterotomy and common bile duct clearance the largest stone was retrieved for measurement. Endoscopic or surgical explorations of the common bile duct were considered the gold-standard methods for the diagnosis of choledocholithiasis. RESULTS: All 68 patients were submitted to laparoscopic cholecystectomy with intraoperative cholangiography with confirmation of the presence of gallstones. Endoscopic ultrassonography was a more sensitivity test than endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (97% vs. 67%) for the detection of choledocholithiasis. When stones >4.0 mm were analyzed, endoscopic ultrassonography and endoscopic retrograde cholangiography presented similar results (96% vs. 90%). Neither the size of the stone nor the common bile duct diameter had influence on endoscopic ultrasonographic performance. CONCLUSIONS: For a group of patients with an intermediate or moderate risk with respect to the likelihood of having common bile duct stones, endoscopic ultrassonography is a better test for the diagnosis of choledocholithiasis when compared to endoscopic retrograde cholangiography mainly for small-sized calculi.

Summary. Purpose. To optimize the tactics of endoscopic interventions for cholelithiasis complicated by obstruction of the terminal portion of the common bile duct to reduce the incidence of postoperative complications and mortality in elderly and senile people. Materials and methods. The results of examination and treatment of 221 elderly and senile patients with cholelithiasis complicated by obstruction of the terminal section of the common bile duct were analyzed. Results. Using of existing methods and proposed new methods of endoscopic management of cholelithiasis complicated by obstruction of the terminal section of the common bile duct allow to reliably reduce the incidence of postoperative complications in elderly and senile patients from 19.8 to 9.5%, postoperative mortality from 10.3 to 2.9% Conclusions. In elderly and senile patients with obstruction of the terminal section of the common bile duct and common bile duct stones who bear high operational risk, endoscopic papillosphincterotomy with stone removal is a sufficient method of treatment. In case of unremovable common bile duct stones, endoscopic papillosphincterotomy and stenting allow to avoid revision of the common bile duct, and in high-risk patients those methods allow to refrain from open surgery.

Background: Standard recommendations for patients recovering from an episode of biliary pancreatitis include cholecystectomy with intra operative cholangiogram or ERCP during the same hospital admission as it is believed that the instigating factor is the passage of stones through the common bile duct. As ERCP is not widely available and expensive, cholecystectomy with IOC is routinely performed to rule out choledocholithiasis. However detection of common bile duct stones is challenging. Whether these patients undergoing cholecystectomy require direct common bile duct evaluation is controversial.Objectives: To see the presence of common bile duct stones in patients with resolving acute mild biliary pancreatitis.Materials and Methods: Patients admitted in the surgical ward in Patan and Bir hospital with the diagnosis of mild acute biliary pancreatitis that underwent cholecystectomy with intra operative cholangiography from August 2010 to July 2011 were studied. The outcome of cholangiogram was analyzed together with findings of Common bile duct exploration.Result and Conclusion: A total of 52 patients with acute mild biliary pancreatitis were operated during this period. The Common bile duct stone was found in 1.9%. Out of four patients with abnormal cholangiogram, only one patient (25%) had stone on exploration, rest of the three cases (75%) had negative exploration. The presence of common bile duct stone in case of mild acute biliary pancreatitis undergoing cholecystectomy is very low (1.96%), and thus policy of selective IOC should be applied for cases with mild biliary pancreatitis.Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.15(4) 2016 p.517-521

Abstract. Aim: to determine the factors influencing on bacteribilia in patients with benign obstruction of the extrahepatic biliary tract (BOEBT). Materials and Methods. A study of 30 cases of BOEBT with bacteriologic bile assessment was performed. A comparison of the incidence of different factors in patients with or without bacteriobilia was done. Results. Positive bile culture was in 22 (73.3%) patients. The most common were E. coli and Klebsiella (68.2%). There was no difference (p<0.05) in sex, age, bilirubin level, gallbladder condition, common bile duct size, major duodenal papilla (MDP) size, common bile duct stones, sludge, Mirizzi syndrome, impacted stone in MDP. Significant differences were found in number of common bile duct stones: 1-2 stones (p<0,001) and multiple stones (p<0,05). Conclusions. Risk factors for bacteriobilia is 1-2 stones in the common bile duct (p<0,001). Multiple stones (≥3) are not associated with bacteriobilia (p<0,05).
