Core Tip	In 6 cases in which a retained stone was detected following cholecystectomy, topical nitrate drip infusion via cystic duct tube (C-tube) was carried out. Retained stones of 2-3 mm diameter with no dilated common bile duct in 3 patients were removed by drip infusion of glyceryl trinitrate or isosorbide dinitrate. Three other cases failed, and endoscopic sphincterotomy in 2 cases and endoscopic biliary balloon dilatation in 1 case were performed. The topical nitrate drip infusion via C-tube is old but safe, easy, and inexpensive procedure for retained stone following cholecystectomy, inasmuch as removal rate was about 50% in our cases.
