Abstract
Cholecystolithiasis is a common disease of the digestive system. In recent years, due to the changes in diet and daily living habits, the incidence of cholecystolithiasis in the world is rising gradually. Choledocholithiasis can form initially in situ, mainly due to infection and cholestasis, but also secondary to cholecystolithiasis or intrahepatic bile duct stones.Symptomatic gallstone disease in patients with laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the standard treatment.However, for patients with common bile duct calculi, traditional open surgery, laparoscopic combined choledochoscope, laparoscopic combined endoscopic and laparoscopic combined laser lithotripsy are all effective ways of treatment. But which one specific operation method is the best choice has yet to agree a consensus. In this paper, several different surgical treatment methods of common bile duct calculi are reviewed in order to provide certain reference value for clinical practice.
Key words:
