Abstract: | Background Common bile duct stones (CBDS) that are seen in the Asian population are very different from those seen in the west. It is
not infrequent to see multiple, large, and impacted stones and a hugely dilated CBD. Many of these patients have been managed
by open CBD exploration (OCBDE), even after the advent of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC), because these large stones pose
significant challenges for extraction by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. This series presents the largest
experience of managing CBDS using a laparoscopic approach from Indian subcontinent. |
