Laparoscopic common bile duct exploration: In this procedure, stones in the bile duct are removed by laparoscopic techniques. In patients with gallstones small stones can pass from the gallbladder into the bile duct. Stones in the bile duct can cause obstruction leading to the development of jaundice and pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas). The treatment is removal of the gallbladder.
