Objective To investigate the value of intraoperative choledochofiberscopy and B-ultrasonography for intrahepatic bile duct calculus. Methods After bile duct stone removal by routine instruments, choledochofiberscopy and B-ultrasonography were conducted for detecting and removing the residual cholelith in intrahepatic bile ducts. Results The incidence of residual cholelith was 29.8% (14 of 47) after stone removal by routine instruments, and it declined to 10.6% (5 of 47) ( ? 2=5.267, P
