Abstract:
Objective To investigate the feasibility and clinical value of laparoscope combined with choledochoscope in the treatment of intra- and/or extrahepatic bile duct cholelithiasis. Methods 10 patients with intra- and/or extrahepatic bile duct stones underwent common bile duct incision exploration to remove stones under laparoscope combined with fiber-choledochoscope from September 2000 to March 2002. Common bile duct was directly sutured or T-tube drainage was performed. Results All cases were operated on successfully without conversion to open operation. There was no serious complication except 1 case of postoperative bile leakage cured by conservative treatment. The residual stones of 2 cases were removed by choledochoscope. Conclusions Laparoscope combined with choledochoscope in the management of intra- and/or extrahepatic bile duct stones is a safe, reliable and minimally invasive procedure. However, it is important to choose indications.
