Successful treatment of recurrent pyogenic cholangitis depends on the ability to delineate the pathology of the entire biliary system and to eradicate all stones, strictures, and destroyed liver segments. Recent advances in imaging techniques and stone fragmentation technology have been applied successfully in the management of this condition. Apart from direct cholangiography and ultrasonography, valuable information can be obtained from computed tomography which is particularly helpful in patients with recurrent disease after previous biliary surgery. Application of electrohydraulic lithotripsy in this disease solves the problem of difficult stone retrieval due to large size, impaction behind relative strictures and inside angulated segmental bile ducts. Together with construction of a hepaticocutaneous jejunostomy serving as a permanent access to the bile duct, it is anticipated that the incidence of recurrence and reoperation in the future can be reduced.
