Abstract

Cholelithiasis is a common patient condition that necessitates general surgery. As a result of the rapid advancement of medical technology, the diagnosis and treatment of this condition have constantly become more advanced. Nevertheless, the biliary system is exceedingly complicated, and there is still no universally accepted method for diagnosing cholelithiasis among medical professionals. In patients with acute cholecystitis, there is a possibility of developing stones in the common bile duct (CBD), and there is a growing trend among surgeons to detect choledocholithiasis prior to surgical procedures. The magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) technique has the ability to properly detect choledocholithiasis in patients who are experiencing acute cholecystitis. The purpose of this study was to determine the number of patients who were suffering from choledocholithiasis and to examine the samples employing the use of MRCP. Nine out of the total 374 individuals were diagnosed with choledocholithiasis. When it comes to the diagnosis of choledocholithiasis, magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography is a dependable method of evaluation. It lowers the risk of overlooking choledocholithiasis and reduces the likelihood of making an incorrect diagnosis of retained choledocholithiasis using conventional biochemical predictors from occurring. For the purpose of determining whether or not choledocholithiasis is present, it has been determined that neither a single predictor nor a combination of indicators can be considered reliable.
