PY - 2013 T2 - Maingot's Abdominal Operations, 12e AB - With advanced endoscopic and laparoscopic techniques being readily accessible to the treating surgeon, determining the wisest path to the successful treatment of choledocholithiasis and cholangitis has become more challenging. Nevertheless, a large number of options allow one to tailor-specific therapy to each individual clinical situation so as to achieve the highest probability of success. In this chapter we attempt to give the reader a better understanding of the methods available for the diagnosis and treatment of common bile duct (CBD) stones and cholangitis so that treatment plans are developed that are patient-specific and have the highest chance of success.
