Guidelines are applicable to all physicians who address the clinical problem(s) without regard to specialty training or interests, and are intended to indicate the preferable, but not necessarily the only acceptable approaches due to the complexity of the healthcare environment. Each year choledocholithiasis results in biliary obstruction, cholangitis, and pancreatitis in a significant number of patients. A transductal approach can be attempted laparoscopically if the surgeon has the needed expertise and if the common bile duct is at least 7mm in diameter to reduce the risk of post-operative stricture. However, the main disadvantage of MRCP is that common bile duct stones identified require intervention by another method to be removed. This study aimed to assess the diagnostic performance of the revision and to compare it to the previous guidelines. A biliary sphincterotome can then be back-loaded over the guidewire to allow for direct cannulation of the common bile duct followed by stone extraction through a single-stage laparoscopic-endoscopic approach [21].
