Abstract
The advent of new technologies in the 1980s allowed the increase in diagnosis and treatment of biliary diseases in the pediatric population. Nowadays, in case of pediatric common bile duct stones, the most popular procedure is laparoscopic cholecystectomy, associated to retrograde endoscopic stones removal, even if in adult age laparoscopic common bile duct clearance is a common procedure. The Authors report a case of cholelithiasis with common bile duct stones in a 10 year-old girl treated by laparoscopic cholecystectomy associated with laparoscopic trans-choledochotomy common bile duct clearance.File in questo prodotto:
