P . Conflicts of Interest: The authors have no potential conflicts of interest. Traditionally, patients with CBD stones that were unable to be extracted endoscopically would have to undergo common bile duct exploration. Unauthorized use of these marks is strictly prohibited. Furthermore, laparoscopic common bile duct exploration is contraindicated in the absence of common bile duct pathology, in patients with hemodynamic instability, or when a hostile porta hepatis is encountered intraoperatively [16].

Endoscopic ultrasound-guided biliary drainage via choledochoduodenostomy is also another documented method of accessing the common bile duct in which the common bile duct is directly punctured via a transduodenal approach to both clear and stent the common bile duct but this does require advanced endoscopic expertise [27].

Of these 25 patients, 9 patients had choledocholithiasis, 9 patients had sludge and 7 patients had a normal ERCP. Relative contraindications to the transcystic approach include a small, friable cystic duct, multiple stones in the common bile duct, stones larger than 1cm or stones in the proximal duct [16,22]. The guidelines by the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) suggest that in patients with gallbladder in situ, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) should be performed in the presence of high-risk criteria for choledocholithiasis, after biochemical tests and abdominal ultrasound. 0000099974 00000 n 0000005752 00000 n Bivariate, multivariate, and receiver operating characteristic analysis were performed.

The Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) framework was used to rigorously review and synthesize the contemporary literature regarding the following topics: EUS versus MRCP for diagnosis, the role of early ERCP in gallstone pancreatitis, endoscopic papillary dilation after sphincterotomy versus sphincterotomy alone for large bile duct stones, and impact of ERCP-guided intraductal therapy for large and difficult choledocholithiasis. Following this, immediate antimicrobial therapy targeted to the biliary tract and biliary drainage are the key goals of the treatment of acute cholangitis [38]. cholangiography (IOC) at elective cholecystectomy This study aimed to assess the diagnostic performance of the revision and to compare it to the previous guidelines.

While the results of this study are promising, the most important consideration when deciding on the treatment of choledocholithiasis for an individual patient are expertise in the procedure, characteristics of the biliary tree, and local availability of resources. Alternatively, a flexible guidewire can be placed intraoperatively through a cystic ductotomy into the biliary tree across the ampulla into the duodenum under fluoroscopy to allow for ERCP via a rendez-vous procedure, in which the duodenoscope can then be inserted per os to capture the guidewire.
