However, large or impacted stones often necessitate choledochotomy, which is associated with increased morbidity and longer operative duration. In 2025, routine intraoperative lithotripsy was introduced in our unit to facilitate trans-cystic stone clearance. Aim To evaluate the impact of routine i…
Open article record in new tab ↗Aim Laparoscopic CBD exploration (LCBDE) for Common bile duct (CBD) stones with laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is an alternative to open CBD exploration, in patients with failed endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography (ERCP). It is being performed at few centres with adequate surgical expertise. Herein, we present our experience of LCBDE with LC over a period of 10 years. Patients and methods A retrospe…
Open article record in new tab ↗Aim To assess the feasibility, safety of rigid tubal ligation scope in laparoscopic common bile duct (CBD) exploration. Materials and methods Rigid nephroscope was used for laparoscopic CBD exploration until one day we tried the same with the rigid tubal ligation scope, which was passed easily into CBD both proximally and distally visualising the interior of the duct for presence of stone that were removed using e…
