Introduction: To describe clinical and para-clinical characteristics of bile duct stones and results of laparoscopic choledochotomies in management of bile duct stones. Materials and methods: Retrospective and prospective study in 152 bile duct stones patient, who underwent laparoscopic choledochotomy with or without usage of flexible bile ducts scope and electrohydraulic technique, from January 2009 to May 2019 at Hue Central Hospital. Results: Mean age 54,2 (22 - 84), 66 male and 86 female, mean operative time: 135 minutes (90 - 235), intraoperative complications: 3,29%, open conversion: 5,92%. Complete stone clearance was achieved in 91,6% patients. Postoperative complications: 7,69%. Conclusions: Managementofbileductstonesbylaparoscopiccholedochotomy is safe and effective with high percentage of stones clearence, as well as low intraoperative and postoperative complications. This procedure can achieve good results if bile ducts scope and electrohydraulic technique were concomitantly applied.
