Endoscopic methods are currently the treatment of choice for patients with common bile duct (CBD) stones, but subsequent management of the intact gallbladder for patients following endoscopic treatment is still controversial.

Additionally, we also sought to determine risk factors for recurrent biliary complications in these patients.
