Abstract:Objective:To study the therapeutic methods of cholecystic duct stones. Methods:A retrospective analysis of the clinical data of 158 cases of cholecystic duct stones treated in the recent 6 years was made. Results:97 of the 158 cases of cholecystic duct stones were removed by open surgical operation and 61 cases by laparoscopic cholecystectomy(LC).In 49 of the 61 casestreated with LC,the cholecystic duct stones were removed together with removal of the gallbladder, and 12 by duodenoscopy after LC. Conclusions:One should strive to extract the cholecystic duct stones while removing the gallbladder. If the stones or stone fragments escape into the common bile duct, they could be removed through a choledochotomy at the time of the open operation,or by postoparative duodenoscopy in cases undergoing LC. The latter method of treatment is associated with minor trauma, quick recovery and definite therapeutic results.
