Performance of Published Criteria in Predicting Choledocholithiasis in Practice
Choledocholithiasis can be identified through multiple means, including a right upper quadrant ultrasound, endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERCP), magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP), and
Fluoroscopy-Free ERCP for Choledocholithiasis Is Safe and Effective in a Pilot Study
In select patients – most commonly during pregnancy – using a fluoroscopy-free approach to stone removal is preferred. Given some initial success with this approach
Updated Criteria for Prediction of Choledocholithiasis Add Specificity
A variety of recommendations have been proposed for predicting choledocholithiasis based upon presenting signs, symptoms, initial laboratory studies, and imaging. In this retrospective study, the
