- Abstract: Common bile duct (CBD) stone is a biliary disease with an increasing incidence in Korea. Many advances have been made in diagnosis and treatment according to the development of imaging equipment and various devices to diagnose and treat CBD stones. The Korean Society for Pancreatobiliary Association has developed clinical practice guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of CBD stones to assist clinicians in their management. The guidelines were divided into three parts: evaluation of CBD stones, endoscopic management of CBD stones, and endoscopic management of difficult and recurrent CBD stones. The purpose of this review is to summarize and present the diagnosis and treatment guidelines for CBD stones established in Korea.
