Core Tip	Common bile duct (CBD) stone recurrence in Billroth II anatomy patients is challenging, and CBD morphology had never been noticed as a potential risk factor of CBD stone recurrence. In this study, CBD morphology was the independent risk factor of CBD stone recurrence in Billroth II anatomy patients. Furthermore, S type and polyline type were associated with increased risk of recurrent CBD stones. Periodic surveillance and prophylactic therapy can be recommended for Billroth II anatomy patients with S type and polyline type after successful endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography.
