Overview

The mainstay of treatment for choledocholithiasis is biliary endoscopic sphincterotomy (BES); About 85% of bile duct stone can be removed by BES. Biliary endoscopic sphincterotomy (BES) is an essential procedure of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Other treatments include

  • Biliary stenting
  • stone extraction
  • fragmenting stones (lithotripsy)
  • Patients with choledocholithiasis secondary to gallstone can be treated with cholecystectomy.
