We report a series of 370 common bile duct stones in which the diagnosis was made preoperatively in 56% of cases. We performed: choledochotomy with Kehr drainage in 70% of cases, biblio-intestinal anastomosis in 20%, transcystic extraction with drainage via the same route in 7%, surgical sphincterotomy in 2%. The global mortality was 2.7% related to preexisting deficiency states. The residual stone rate was 5.6%.
