Laparoscopic Common Bile Duct Exploration

Abstract

As discussed in Chap. 2, Laparoscopic Bile Duct Exploration (LBDE) is considered a valid option, if not the option of choice, in the management of ductal stones with gallbladder in situ. Outcomes used to compare it with the other treatment modalities include clearance rate, retained stones, morbidity and hospital stay (Table 7.1). As expected, mortality is very low in all approaches, and therefore is often not used as a parameter to compare different treatment options [1].
