Abstract:Concomitant extra- and intrahepatic bile duct stones are common conditions in general surgery, and their treatment methods include not only the traditional surgery but a variety of minimally invasive methods such as endoscopic, laparoscopic and choledochoscopic technique. However, any use of a single treatment method has its limitations and also cannot achieve the highest efficacy. The authors, based on literature review and extraction of recent relevant documents, address the current status and progress in minimally invasive treatment of concomitant extra- and intrahepatic bile duct stones.
