Abstract

Common bile duct stones (CBDS) are the most common cause of acute cholangitis. Removal by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography became the standard of care after endoscopic sphincterotomy was introduced. On the other hand, it is still difficult to remove 10-15% of CBDS completely in the first attempt for various reasons. This review describes the methods for the complete endoscopic clearance of CBDS, including difficult cases, reflecting the latest knowledge and techniques.

Keywords: Cholangiopancreatography, endoscopic retrograde; Common bile duct calculi; Sphincterotomy, endoscopic.
