[Technique of bile duct revision].
In view of the progress of endoscopic treatment of common bile duct pathologies the management of retained common duct stones following simple cholecystectomy has become a minor problem. Nevertheless duct stones should be recognized and removed during the cholecystectomy procedure. High risk patients or extreme forms of acute inflammation are an exception. For this purpose a standardized technique of revision of the common bile duct is recommended. We describe such a technique of the exploration of the common bile duct by means of manual extraction, Fogarty catheter, irrigation, distension--irrigation and flexible choledochoscopy.
