Abstract: | For each of the years 1991-1994 400, 209, 170 and 133 open common bile duct stone extraction were performed in Denmark, corresponding to 35%, 17%, 12% and 5% respectively of patients diagnosed with common bile duct stone. There was only little variation between the 16 hospital counties. The expected decrease in open common bile duct surgery corresponds to the introduction of several non-invasive methods for the treatment of common bile duct stones. To achieve further reduction in open surgery, centralization of the treatment of common bile duct stones is necessary. |
