Abstract

Courvoisier reported the first successful choledocholithotomy (CL) before the turn of the century.1 A few years later, in 1912, the father of biliary surgery, Hans Kehr, published his landmark textbook based on 2,000 cases including patients with CBD stones. He invented T-tube drainage after surgical exploration of the CBD.2 It is ironic that the great American surgeon, William Halstead, a few years after a cholecystectomy, died of complications from a choledocholithotomy for retained stones.
