Abstract:
Although choledochoscope has been described as an ideal approach for cholelithiasis, larger,impacted or residual biliary duct stones could hardly be taken out. Choledochoscopic laser lithotripsy was used in 1978. At present, however, it has not wildly been applied in the biliary surgery. In this article, we reviewed the domestic and foreign literatures to state the application and prospect of choledochoscope combined with laser lithotripsy in cholelithiasis.
