  • Chapter
  • 261 Accesses

Abstract

When stones are found in the bile ducts long after the first CBD operation has been done, the T-tube tract is healed and Burhenne’s method of retrieval cannot be applied. The options then available to the surgeon are: endoscopic radiographic cholangio-pancreatogram (ERCP)-papillotomy, transabdominal choledocholithotomy, biliary-intestinal bypass, or sphincteroplasty. The pros and cons of these procedures are discussed below.
