LAPAROSCOPIC CHOLEDOCH REVISION FOR THE TREATMENT OF CHOLEDOCHOLITHIASIS IN AN INFANT

Choledocholithiasis is a rare pathology in children. Various techniques have been proposed for removing calculi from the common bile duct: percutaneous puncture drainage of bile ducts, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography with papillosphincterotomy as well as revision of the common bile duct which can be done laparoscopically or in the open abdomen. However at present, there is no any unified approach to managing this pahtology in children. The article describes authors’ experience of laparoscopic revision of the common bile duct in an infant with choledocholithiasis. The authors consider that this technique can be applied in pediatric surgical practice.
