Even when using jaundice, cholangitis, abnormal liver enzymes, gallstone pancreatitis, or ultrasound showing a dilated CBD or CBD stones, only 60% of patients had CBD stones by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography.

Am J Gastoenterology 1996, 91:1326-1330. Elevated liver enzymes alkaline phosphatase >300 IU/L and alanine transferase (>40 IU/L) and CBD dilatation (>8mm) by ultrasound predicted a 95% probability of CBD stones. This is the highest predictive value reported. Most other series are closer to 60%.

In 100 patients with CBD stones, laparoscopic techniques of transcystic duct CBD exploration were used in 63 and choledochostomy and CBD exploration in 33, for an overall success rate of 96%.
