Тактические вопросы лечения больных с резидуальным и рецидивным холедохолитиазом

177 patients were included in the prospective cohort study, the patients received endosurgery for choledocholithiasis. The patients are divided into groups depending on the nature of disease. In the first group (n = 50) we included patients with residual choledocholithiasis, in the second group (n = 127) — patients with recurrent choledocholithiasis. The results of the study have shown that in patients with choledocholithiasis endoscopic transpapillary surgery in combination with thoracic epidural analgesia was effective and safe, irrespective of the cause of the disease.
