Objective  To investigate the effect of endoscope assisted microincision cholelithotomy(EMC) in the  treatment of gallstone. Methods   The clinical data of 86 patients with gallbladder stone treated by EMC were analyzed retrospectively.Of them, 63 cases  were follwed-up and studied. Results   All eighty-six patients were successfully operated on and discharged, no operative complications occurred. Among 63 patient being   followed up for 1~3 years,the recurrence rate of gallbladder stones was 3.2%(2/63). No recurrence was noted in 46 patients with single gallstone. In the other seventeen patients with multiple stones,  gallstone   recurrence was found in 2 patients, the recurrence rate was 11.8%(2/17). Conclusions   If selection of the  operation idications are strict, endoscope assisted microincision cholelithotomy for treatment of gallstone is simple, safe, effective and less  trauma, and can  preserves the function of gallbladder, but it  can not replace the  cholecystectomy.
