Laparoscopic Common Bile Duct Exploration for Choledocholithiasis: Analysis of Practice Patterns of Intermountain HealthCare.

Background: The ideal management of common bile duct (CBD) stones remains controversial, whether with single-stage management using laparoscopic CBD exploration (LCBDE) during laparoscopic cholecystectomy, or with 2-stage management using preoperative or postoperative ERCP. We wished to elucidate the practice patterns within our health system, which includes both large urban referral centers and small rural critical access hospitals.

Study Design: We conducted a retrospective data analysis from our 22-hospital, not-for-profit, integrated healthcare system.
