“…The first report of endoscopic extraction of common bile duct stones in PCC 8 was soon followed by other small series 5,[9][10][11][12][13] reporting success without an increase in complications, though some workers reported hemobilia during the procedure. [14][15][16][17] In many centers, endoscopic management has remained confined to establishing drainage of the obstructed biliary system before surgery, in the expectation that either the obstruction would resolve after a period of endoscopic drainage or that portosystemic shunt surgery (PSS), with or without second-stage biliary surgery, would provide definitive management.…”

“…Eleven series published between 1992 and 2011 9,10,12,13,[18][19][20][21][22][23] have reported a mean frequency of 26.3% (16-85%) for biliary calculi among a total of 331 patients, including 143 with symptomatic PCC. Prevalence of both, gallbladder (mean 13.6%, range 0-69%) as well as biliary ductal calculi (mean 17.8%, range 0-77%), is increased and prevalence is much higher in symptomatic PCC, being 60.8% overall in 143 symptomatic patients (35.1% for gallstones, 41.2% for choledocholithiasis).…”
