With the advent of ERCP and medical grade biliary stents, the art of T-tube placement seems to be on the wane. We aim to present our experience of primary closure of the CBD with antegrade stenting after CBD exploration.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
