Abstract
Common duct stones present a special problem to the surgeon when he performs a laparoscopic cholecystectomy. We describe a method of exploring the common duct and extracting stones. The procedures for opening of the common duct, removal of stones, and the placement of a T-tube are carefully outlined.
