Abstract
- Stones in the common duct occur in 10% to 15% of patients with cholelithiasis. In our case, coexistent cholelithiasis and choledocholithiasis were diagnosed by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. The stone basket was easily introduced into the gallbladder and common bile duct, then fortunately removed stones. However, endoscopic retrograde cholelithiasis removal is known to be difficult because of the anatomical approach. We herein present a rare case of cholelithiasis successfully treated by retrograde endoscopic removal.
