    Author : Fredrik Swahn; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ERCP;

    Abstract : Background: During the last 30 years, important changes have been introduced in the management of common bile duct stones (CBDS) which can be detected in about 10% of patients undergoing cholecystectomy because of symptomatic gallstone disease. Established minimally-invasive treatment options for CBDS include endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and laparoscopic common bile duct exploration. READ MORE

  7. 10. Trends and current clinical aspects of complicated gallstone disease - with special reference to endoscopic treatment

    Author : Eric Kullman; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Time trends regarding incidence, management, and outcome of acute (AC) and elective cholecystectomy (EC), as well as symptomatic (cholangitis, pancreatitis, jaundice) and asymptomatic (detected accidentally during cholecystectomy) common bile duct (CBD) stones were studied during the time period 1970-1986 in a welldefined Swedish population. From period I (1970-1978) to period II (1979-1986) there was a four-fold increase in the ratio of AC (period I: mean 10/100,000/year, period II: mean 30/100,000/year) to EC (period 1: mean 190/100,000/year, period II: mean 120/100,000/year).
