Abstract
- Approximately 3-15% of patients who have undergone removal of bile duct stones with endoscopic sphincterotomy have recurrence of stones which often presents as acute cholangitis. Despite better understanding on the factors and mechanisms underlying the recurrence of bile duct stones achieved during the past few decades, endoscopic removal still remains the mainstay of management for recurrent bile duct stones. Recently investigated and suggested management of recurrent bile duct stones are highlighted in this review.
