Abstract
Thirty-seven patients underwent cholecystectomy without intraoperative cholangiography. Patients were selected using clinical and investigatory parameters. One patient had a negative common bile duct exploration. During the follow-up period of 2½–3½ years, all patients remained symptomatically and sonologically free of stones.
