Abstract
Selective use of transcystic bile duct exploration during laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a safe and highly effective approach for treatment of most common duct stones. The technique obviates the need for selec tive endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography-sphincterotomy pri or to cholecystectomy and is a more cost-effective approach.
