Routine or Selective Intraoperative Cholangiography?: A Single-Center Analysis of 1506 Laparoscopic Cholecystectomies

Selective use of IOC appears to be a safe and effective strategy with comparable BDI and residual CBD stone rates, compared with routine IOC. However, as selective IOC was associated with a lower success rate of IOC, surgical training for its performance should not be neglected.

Abstract

Selective use of IOC appears to be a safe and effective strategy with comparable BDI and residual CBD stone rates, compared with routine IOC. However, as selective IOC was associated with a lower success rate of IOC, surgical training for its performance should not be neglected.
