A Comparative Study of Choledochoduodenostomy Versus Open Choledochotomy With T Tube Placement in a Hospital Lacking Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography
Abstract Background: Choledocholithiasis, or stones in the common bile duct (CBD), has two types: primary stones that form in the…
Comparison of different time intervals between laparoscopic cholecystectomy to endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography for patients with cholecystolithiasis complicated by choledocholithiasis
Abstract Background: Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) followed by laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is a common strategy for treatment of patients with…
Suspected common bile duct stones: reduction of unnecessary ERCP by pre-procedural imaging and timing of ERCP
Abstract Background: Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is the procedure of choice to remove sludge/stones from the common bile duct (CBD).…
