Abstract:
Common bile duct stones are among the most common diseases in elderly patients.In the past 20 years,minimally invasive techniques,including endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and laparoscopic common bile duct exploration,have been developed rapidly and provided more options for patients.Choosing appropriate treatment plans will help reduce postoperative complications and lead to better outcomes in elderly patients with common bile duct stones.
