Risk factors for recurrence after surgery for common bile duct stones / 临床肝胆病杂志

ABSTRACT

Recurrence after surgery for common bile duct stones has not been solved properly,and recurrence of calculi often requires reoperation,which brings patients great pain and economic burden.Various risk factors may mediate the recurrence of common bile duct stones,including biliary tract infection,bile duct stenosis,cholangiectasis,cholestasis,Oddi sphincter dysfunction,abnormal bile composition,and surgical procedure.These risk factors are analyzed and related preventive measures are summarized.Current research findings show that prevention and treatment of risk factors for recurrence of calculi can reduce the recurrence rate of calculi and play an important role in preventing the recurrence of common bile duct stones.
