There are three treatment options for choledocholithiasis: endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) followed by laparoscopic cholecystectomy; laparoscopic exploration of the main bile duct with concomitant cholecystectomy; and open cholecystectomy with exploration of the main bile duct. A retrospective, descriptive, observational study was taken of patients with a diagnosis of cholecystocholedocholithiasis that failed ERCP and who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy with exploration of the bile duct.
