title: [Dissolution of a radiolucent stone in the common bile duct by sodium cholate infusions through the T-tube (author's transl)].
abstract: A case of a retained gallstone in the common bile duct after cholecystectomy (in a 38-year old man) is reported in which infusions with saline and spasmolytics failed to flush out the retained stone into the duodenum. An infusion with sodium cholate over nine days through the T-tube was successful in dissolution of the radiolucent stone.
