The aim of this study was to assess retrograd cholangiogram findings and first-line endoscopic sphincterotomy followed by laparoscopic cholecystectomy for the treatment of main bile duct lithiasis. Clinical, biological and echographic criteria predictive of main bile duct lithiasis were observed in 125 patients (32 men, 93 women, mean age 44.2 years) who underwent retrograde cholangiography. Results suggested lithiasis of the main bile duct in 105 case (87.5%) and were confirmed at endoscopic sphincterotomy in 99. There were no deaths; four complications occurred (3 moderate cases of pancreatitis, 1 cholecystitis). Conversion was required in 11.6%, usually because of difficulties in dissecting. No residual lithiasis was observed. Mean duration of hospitalization was 11.4 days. This sequential treatment scheme for main bile duct lithiasis appears to be effective, minimally invasive and safe.
