Abstract:
Objective To investigate the risk factors and management of retained common bile duct stones.Method The clinical data of 14 patients with retained common bile duct stones between 1994 and 2000 was statistically analyzed in comparison with 191 patients of the negative postoperative T tube cholangiography. Results Common bile duct stones were present in 20% of patients undergoing cholecystectomy. In 7% of patients, stones were left in the bile ducts after common bile duct exploration. Statistically significant difference was observed in the age of the patient population, the percentage of associated acute cholangitis, the number of the stones present in common bile duct and the frequercy of the intraoperative choledochoscopy when compared retained bile duct stones with negative postoperative T tube cholangiography. Conclusions Retained common bile duct stones is related to age of the patient, the association of acute cholangitis, the number of the common bile duct stones and the operative choledochoscopy. Postoperative flexible choledochoscopy or endoscopic papillotomy is an effective method for managing patients with retained common bile duct stones.
