Laparoscopic Transcystic Cholangioscopic Lithotripsy for Common Bile Duct Stones During Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

Abstract

LTCL in combination with LC allows shortening of the hospital stay and a swift return to work for patients with CBD stones. This procedure also preserves the function of the sphincter of Oddi, so that the longterm prognosis for patients is likely to be very good.
