[Combined use of laparoscopic cholecystectomy and endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERC) and papillotomy (ERCP) in management of cholecysto-choledocholithiasis].

Abstract

In a review of 328 cases the combination of laparoscopic cholecystectomy with specific use of endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (pre- and postoperatively) proved to be a riskless, secure and time-saving procedure. In our opinion this is a minimal invasive method of treatment for patients with cholecysto-/choledocholithiasis.
