  • Title: [Two-stage minimally invasive therapy of cholecysto- and choledocholithiasis].
    Author: Schmiederer R, Kubitzky M, Razek P, Tuchmann A.
    Journal: Chirurg; 1994 May; 65(5):441-4. PubMed ID: 8050298.
    Abstract:
    Therapeutical splitting consisting of endoscopic sphincterotomy, stone removal and laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a valuable alternative method compared to open cholecystectomy with common bile duct exploration. In our prospective study we performed this procedure in 89 patients (28.7.1990-28.7.1993). Morbidity was 4.5% and mortality was 0. A follow-up study of 50 patients shows residual stones in 2% and papillary stenosis in 2%.
