The Authors describe 132 cases of sequential treatment of cholecysto-choledochal lithiasis by videolaparoscopic cholecystectomy after endoscopic Common Bile Duct (CBD) clearance and 3 endoscopic sphincterectomy and CBD stone extraction during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. No complications occurred during the procedure. Even though the second one is not a routine method undoubtedly represents the best solution when the surgeon meets an unexpected choledocholithiasis. However, laparoscopic CBD exploration requires a good experience of the surgeon and currently there are not sufficient data to support this procedure.

Introduction: In our paper we present the results of a study that was meant to provide a complex answer to the question:"Which is the most appropriate, most correct and least expensive treatment for mixt cholecysto-choledochal lithiasis(MCCL)?"
Material And Methods: Based on a five year experience (2008-2012), analysed retrospectively, during which 143 patients with MCCL were treated, we are trying to find answers to some of the questions that we have asked ourselves from the very beginning of this period. The answers were guided by alternative therapeutic options, for a pathology that does not have a "gold standard", with respect to the solutions available.
Results: Given the fact that the period during which the study was conducted was chosen randomly and that the patients were included consecutively, the representativeness of the results is ensured for any other patient diagnosed with this pathology and admitted to a clinic with the same specialty, dimensions and equipment as the one presented.

Aim Of The Study: To demonstrate how, on the basis of the personal experience, the rendezvous technique, in the management of cholelithiasis associated with choledocolithiasis , whenever there is the indication, is better than the sequential treatment.
Methods: From January 2008 to May 2011, 48 patients with cholelithiasis and choledocolithiasis combined were treated with endolaparoscopic technique. Of these patients, 23 were treated with the sequential treatment and 25 with the rendezvous method.

Introduction: In subjects operated by videolaparoscopic cholecystectomy (VLC) incidence of synchronous cholecysto-choledochal stones is 7-20%. Aim of the study is to report our experience in endoscopic treatment of common bile duct (CBD) stones before VLC (sequential treatment).
Patients And Methods: From January 2001 to May 2007, 189 ERCP for synchronous cholecysto-choledochal stones were performed with analgo-sedation.
