Resumo1.1. Four cases are reported which illustrate some of the difficulties encountered in the treatment of choledocholithiasis. 2.2. In one case an unusual anomaly of the extrahepatic ducts was found; in another the common bile duct terminated in a duodenal diverticulum. 3.3. Non-operative methods of removal of remaining common duct stones are discussed. 4.4. Incidence and symptoms of choledocholithiasis and indications for choledochotomy are presented. 5.5. The factors which make for success in management of common duct stones are emphasized: (1) knowledge of the frequent occurrence of common duct stones; (2) knowledge of the indications for exploration of the common duct; (3) presence of congenital anomalies which affect removal of stones; (4) cholangiography, especially at time of surgery and (5) nonsurgical procedures for the removal of remaining common duct calculi.
