[Laparoscopic techniques in therapy of choledocholithiasis].
Several methods for therapy of common bile duct stones (CBDS) during laparoscopic cholecystectomy are available. After intraoperative cholangiography laparoscopic removal of CBDS can be achieved via the cystic duct or a choledochotomy using a thin cholangioscope, balloon catheters and Dormia baskets. Lithotripsy (electrohydraulic or laser) is necessary in presence of larger stones. Also combined procedures with intraoperative antegrade or retrograde papillotomy have been described. Published studies show that laparoscopic common bile duct exploration can be performed successfully by experienced surgeons. However, these procedures are demanding and time-consuming. Further evaluation is essential.
