Abstract

Gallstones are a very common problem in developed countries\r\n[1 – 3]. Most patients with gallstones remain asymptomatic\r\nthroughout their lifetime [4, 5], but 10%– 25% of them may develop\r\nbiliary pain or complications [6 – 9], with an annual risk of\r\nabout 2%– 3% for symptomatic disease [10] and 1%–2% for\r\nmajor complications [11]. The development of symptomatic\r\ndisease and complications is mostly related to the migration of\r\nstones into the common bile duct (CBD). Common bile duct\r\nstones (CBDSs) may be treated by endoscopic retrograde\r\ncholangiopancreatography (ERCP) or surgically during cholecystectomy.\r\nThe aim of this evidence- and consensus-based\r\nGuideline, commissioned by the European Society of Gastrointestinal\r\nEndoscopy (ESGE), is to provide practical advice on\r\nhow to manage patients with CBDSs. It considers diagnostic\r\nstrategies in patients with suspected CBDSs, as well as the different\r\ntherapeutic options available for CBDSs.
