Abstract
PROCEDURES FOR diagnosing common bile duct stones (CBDSs) include intraoperative cholangiography (IOC),1 endosonography,1 and endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERC)—the most widely used of these 3 techniques2,3 because it offers the opportunity to provide therapy on determination of the diagnosis, with only a single invasive intervention.4 Intraoperative cholangiography is still considered by some as the criterion standard for diagnosis of CBDSs.1 However, ERC and IOC are associated with a relatively high incidence of negative diagnoses if used routinely on an unselected population.5,6Keywords
