Minimally invasive surgery for bile duct stones is minimally invasive and has a quick recovery, and the procedure usually takes about one hour. Bile duct stones are relatively common hepatobiliary surgical diseases, divided into intrahepatic bile duct stones and common bile duct stones. Minimally invasive surgery for bile duct stones mainly includes laparoscopic choledochotomy, choledochoscopic stone extraction, endoscopic ERCP stone extraction and percutaneous transhepatic choledochoscopic stone extraction. The size, number, and location of bile duct stones vary depending on the minimally invasive surgical approach used. Usually, the procedure can be completed in about one hour. When preoperative preparation, anesthesia and postoperative awakening time are added, minimally invasive bile duct stone surgery takes about 2-3 hours. However, not all bile duct stones are suitable for minimally invasive surgery, and some special cases require open surgery, which should be individualized on a case-by-case basis.
