A prospective comparative study to evaluate operative cholangiography and laparoscopic ultrasonography in the detection of common bile duct (CBD) stones was undertaken in 54 patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Laparoscopic ultrasonography with a 7.5-MHz linear-array probe was performed

## Abstract ## Background Although intraoperative cholangiography has been recommended for avoiding bile duct injury during laparoscopic cholecystectomy, radiographic cholangiography is time consuming and may itself cause injury to the bile duct. Recently, a novel fluorescent cholangiography techn
