| Core Tip |
Recurrence of choledocholithiasis is considered a late complication following endoscopic extraction of bile duct stones. There are various factors associated with the risk of recurrence. In our study the rate of recurrence was 13.5%. Although univariate analysis identified four different risk factors associated with both anatomical parameters (common bile duct diameter) and stone characteristics (stone size, use of mechanical lithotripsy, difficult lithiasis), multivariate analysis confirmed only bile duct diameter as being important. The underlying pathogenetic mechanism of recurrence is likely multifactorial in nature. Bile stasis, duodenal - biliary reflux and unfavorable stone characteristics probably contribute towards stone reformation. |
