Abstract:
Objective To summarize our experience in choledochofiberscopic treatment for residual stones of biliary tract. Methods 1105 cases of residual stones of biliary tract diagnosed and treated with choledochofiberscope in the past 19 years were reviewed retrospectively. Results The 1067 patients with residual stones of bile duct were treated with choledochofiberscope for 1483 times altogether. The stones were completely removed in 1035 cases, while the stones were not cleared in other 32 cases. The clearance rate of residual stones was 97.0%(1035/1067). No patient died of choledochofiberscopic treatment. Conclusions Choledochofiberscopic treatment plays an important role in the treatment of residual stones of bile duct, because it not only reduces residual stones of bile duct to avoid repeated operation, but also has some advantages such as excellent safety, minimal invasion, low cost and quicker recovery.
