Methods A retrospec-tive analysis was carried out for 43 cases of cholelithiasis concurrent with choledocholithiasis from January 2006 to December 2008. Results The procedures were successfully accomplished in 40 patients, the suc-cess rate was 93%. The successful clearance rate of common bile duct stone was 95.2%. Complication oc-curred in 2 cases, including 1 case of papilla bleeding and 1 case of hyperamylesemia. All complications were cured with non-operating treatment.
