Treatment of common bile duct stones--is the role of ERCP changed in era of minimally invasive surgery?

Unlabelled: In 10-15% of the patients that underwent cholecystectomy, common bile duct stones were found either during the preoperative, intraoperative or postoperative evaluation. Their treatment traditionally was based on open approach and extraction of calculi, with development of endoscopic procedures we have ERCP with endoscopic sphincterotomy, but due to rapid development of laparoscopic procedures now-days we have other therapeutic options such as laparoscopic transcystic extraction and laparoscopic choledohotomy.

Methods: During the period between 2007-2009 we treated 168 patients with common bile duct stones.
