It is an old concept that the gallbladder is prone to recurrence, and modern technology has proven that this is a misconception and a 100-year old injustice. In the past, gallbladder lithotomy was a blind lithotomy, because neither the size and number of stones in the gallbladder nor the real situation of the internal mucosa of the gallbladder could be seen, and because the surgical instruments did not have direct vision nor the function of arbitrary bending, it was impossible to ensure complete removal of the stones, and for stones between the walls of the gallbladder, it was impossible to remove the stones without a choledochoscope; in addition, when the stones were clamped with lithotomy forceps, they were easy to be shattered. This is the true nature of the recurrence of stones after cholecystostomy. Therefore, Langenbuch’s theory that choledochostomy is prone to recurrence after surgery is an injustice, because the so-called recurrent stones are actually residual stones! The true post-operative recurrence rate is less than 7%, not 90% as claimed, after the stones are completely removed under direct choledochoscopy. This is a high-tech, new technology, new concept, completely different from the old style of choledochostomy.
