Background: Common bile duct stones occur in 2-12 % of all patients who undergo laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Laparoscopic transcystic extraction of bile duct stones as a one-step procedure is an alternative to endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), with comparable success and complication rates. The study aimed to survey the clinical course in patients who underwent transcystic stone extraction and cholecystectomy simultaneously.
Material And Method: All patients who underwent transcystic stone extraction in conjunction with laparoscopic cholecystectomy at Oslo University Hospital, Ullevål in the period 1 January 2019 to 30 November 2023 were registered.
Results: The study included 23 patients, of whom 16 were women and 7 were men. Five patients had previously undergone a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. A total of 20 patients had undergone surgery with gallstones as the indication. Transcystic stone extraction was successful in 22 patients. The median length of surgery (range) was 190 (115-302) minutes. Three patients developed mild complications related to the procedure. The median number of hospital bed days following the operation was 1 (range: 1-22).
Interpretation: Laparoscopic transcystic stone extraction in conjunction with cholecystectomy may be a good alternative treatment for common bile duct stones and appears to be associated with few complications.

Experience in laparoscopic transcystic common bile duct exploration for super-elderly patients with choledocholithiasis-A 96-year-old case report.

Background: Super-elderly patients with choledocholithiasis are considered to be at high risk for undergoing surgery. While laparoscopic transcystic common bile duct exploration (LTCBDE) is regarded as a challenging procedure for super-elderly patients with choledocholithiasis, there have been no reported cases of its use in super-elderly patients over the age of 96.
Case Summary: This case study presents the case of a 96-year-old female patient with acute calculous cholecystitis and choledocholithiasis.
Background: Stone impaction is an obstacle to successful laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE). This study aims to identify the incidence, operative difficulties and techniques used to disimpact and remove impacted stones during LCBDE.
Methods: Prospectively collected data from a large series of LCBDE.

Article Synopsis
- A surgery-first approach using robotic common bile duct exploration (RBCDE) offers an effective alternative for treating CBD stones in patients with gallbladders, showing equal efficacy at a lower cost compared to traditional methods.
- The RBCDE technique simplifies the process by using a cystic ductotomy and a cholangiogram to identify stones, allowing for targeted removal with different techniques based on stone size.
- This method aims to enhance the adoption of a straightforward, one-stage surgery for CBD stone treatment, overcoming technical limitations associated with traditional laparoscopic procedures.

Gallstone-related diseases, particularly common bile duct (CBD) stones, pose a significant global health challenge. The emergence of laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) has transformed the management of these conditions by offering a less invasive alternative to traditional open surgery. This literature review aims to analyze published literature to identify and understand the risk factors associated with LCBDE.

Background: Technological advances have made the laparoscopy procedure popular for simultaneous cholecystectomy and bile duct exploration. We aimed to assess the implementation of a structured mentorship program for training in laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE). We explored the effectiveness thereof in facilitating the learning of LCBDE as a single-stage treatment of common bile duct stones (CBD) with gallbladder in situ.
