Abstract
Incidence of common bile duct stones (CBDS) is approximately 10% in patients with symptomatic gallstones undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Transcystic laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (TC-CBDE) is safe and efficient in achieving bile duct clearance from stones, with a success rate of between 85% and 95%. The aim of this retrospective study is the evaluation of risk factors and recurrence in patients treated with TC-CBDS.
