Adult patients diagnosed with common bile duct stones scheduled for laparoscopic cholecystectomy undergo intraoperative endoscopic sphincteric balloon dilatation (EBD). Postoperatively patients receive a MRT to confirm bile duct clearance. Patients are monitored for 30 day postoperative complications. EBD results are compared with those of ERCP that is more commonly used for bile duct clearance.
