Abstract

Cholecystocholedocholithiasis is a common disease. The traditional treatment is open surgery which has its inherent invasiveness and slow recovery. The advent of laparoscopic and endoscopic techniques change surgery in many ways. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is now the gold standard for cholecystitis, while endoscopic procedure is a treatment of choice for choledocholithiasis. To combine them as a laparoendoscopic rendezvous procedure treats cholecystitis and choledocholithiasis in a single stage, and results in a safe, effective and minimal invasive procedure. Key words: Cholecystitis; Choledocholithiasis; Laparoscopic; Endoscopic
