Abstract
Single-stage laparoscopic treatment of gallstones and common bile duct (CBD) stones in elective patients is an alternative treatment option to two-stage endo-laparoscopic treatment and to open choledocholithotomy with cholecystectomy [1]. In some centers it has been performed for more than 10 years and several reports have demonstrated its feasibility, safety, efficacy and cost-effectiveness [2–7].
