Abstract
Laparoscopic management of CBDS is less and less a commonly used technique because the learning curve is long and advanced technology like flexible choledocoscopy is required. Most of the surgeons prefer an endoscopic sphincterotomy performed by themselves or by the gastroenterologists. However, there are some clinical conditions where the latter approach fails and where surgical CBD desobstruction is necessary.
