Outcome of laparoscopic common bile duct exploration after failed endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography: a comparative study.
(Mary Ann Liebert, 2019-11)Common bile duct stones (CBDS) are treated with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) followed by laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) or with the single-stage laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) ... -
