Management of bile duct stones in the era of laparoscopic cholecystectomy

J Perissat et al. Br J Surg. 1994 Jun.

Abstract

The introduction of laparoscopic cholecystectomy has resulted in increased options for the management of bile duct stones and has stimulated a fundamental reappraisal of the situation before the laparoscopic era. This article reviews the natural history of bile duct stones and details the different ways in which they may now be treated. New areas of controversy are highlighted and the need for further studies is emphasized.
