Retained CBD stone after ERCP is a common problem in clinical practice. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of saline irrigation of common bile duct after complete stone removal considered by ERCP in the reduction of residual CBD stone and the effect on clinical outcome.
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of saline irrigation of common bile duct after complete stone removal considered by ERCP in the reduction of residual CBD stone and the effect on clinical outcome. Patients with CBD stone who received endoscopic stone removal were included after complete stone clearance was seen on occluded cholangiogram. One arm received saline irrigation of CBD at least 50 ml until clear effluent seen and another arm as control. Both group received endoscopic ultrasound to evaluation for residual stone and followed up for complication and outcome.
