Joe Y1 - 2019 N1 - T2 - Maingot's Abdominal Operations, 13e AB - With advanced endoscopic and laparoscopic techniques 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 in order to achieve the highest probability of safety and success.
