Patient age (over 65), and lithiasis of the common bile duct are two factors which increase the morbidity and mortality rate in emergency surgery for biliary lithiasis. Normally, calculi in the CBD can be cleared by means of supraduodenal or transduodenal access. In both cases, however, complications are frequent in high risk patients. Treatment of gallstones can be modified to achieve a reduction in the morbidity and mortality rate. This study presents an initial survey of 4 elderly patients, presenting with acute gallbladder disease and CBD stones, treated with surgical cholecystectomy and contemporary perioperative endoscopic papillotomy and CBD clearance. The underlying rationale and the good initial results support this combined surgical and endoscopic approach.
