[Treatment of choledocholithiasis in the era of laparoscopic cholecystectomy].
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (L-CHE) is currently considered to be the optimal standard in the therapy of cholecystolithiasis. However, it is choledocholithiasis which is problematic, especially the timing of the solution in relation to L-CHE. In general, the opinion predominates that in preoperatively verified choledocholithiasis the ERCP with EPS and extraction of choleliths should be performed 24-28 hours prior to the elective L-CHE. Surgical removal of choleliths from the main biliary ducts indicated only in a small group of patients. The authors of the study reflect upon the current trends of the choledocholithiasis therapy in the era of laparoscopic cholecystectomy. They present their own set of patients and recommend the procedure of the choledocholithiasis therapy concommitted with cholecystolithiasis with the subjective of the full use of endoscopic methods in the therapy of this disease.
