Severe jaundice suggests another cause of symptoms such as choledocholithiasis.
2.
If clogged by a gallstone, a condition called choledocholithiasis can result.
3.
Morbidity is common and is caused by complications of cholangitis, sepsis, choledocholithiasis, and cholangiocarcinoma.
4.
Laparoscopic bile duct exploration ( LBDE ) is recommended in current treatment guidelines for the management of choledocholithiasis with gallbladder in situ.
5.
MRCP provides useful information regarding the etiology of acute pancreatitis, i . e ., the presence of tiny biliary stones ( choledocholithiasis or cholelithiasis ) and duct anomalies.
6.
Choledocholithiasis ( stones in common bile duct ) is one of the complications of cholelithiasis ( gallstones ), so the initial step is to confirm the diagnosis of cholelithiasis.
7.
Diseases of the gallbladder and bile ducts are commonly diet-related, and may include the formation of gallstones that impact in the gallbladder ( cholecystolithiasis ) or in the common bile duct ( choledocholithiasis ).
8.
A new technique, LABEL ( Laser-Assisted Bile duct Exploration by Laparoendoscopy ) has been developed to enhance LBDE in cases of impacted or large stones using holmium-laser increasing the feasibility of the transcystic stone retrieval and reducing overall operative time in the treatment of choledocholithiasis.
