To evaluate a new lithotomy for postoperatively residual cholelithes. Using rigid choledochoscopy to extract the residual cholelithes which could hardly be extracted by fibrocholedochoscopy through the T-tube sinus in 31 cases. The residual cholelithes were extracted in 30 cases, reoperation was avoided. The residual cholelithes can be effectively extracted by the rigid choledochoscopy plus mechanical lithotripsy through T-tube sinus.
