Preoperative Evaluation of Common Bile Duct Stones in Patients with Gallstone Disease

¹ Department of Diagnostic Radiology and Research Institute of Radiological Science, Yonsei University College of Medicine, 134 Shinchon-dong, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul 120-752, South Korea.
² Department of Internal Medicine, Yonsei Institute of Gastroenterology, Yonsei University College of Medicine, Seoul, South Korea.
³ Department of Surgery, Yonsei University College of Medicine, Seoul, South Korea.

OBJECTIVE. Our objective was to suggest criteria for selection of a preoperative diagnostic technique for patients with gallstone disease.

CONCLUSION. Use of MR cholangiography preferentially before laparoscopic cholecystectomy, on patients who have a moderate or high risk of common bile duct stones, can significantly reduce purely diagnostic endoscopic retrograde cholangiography.
