The Transcystic Laparoscopic Common Bile Duct Exploration iBook is offered as part of a multimodal effort to improve the adoption rate of the minimally invasive exploration of the common bile duct for stone disease. It was developed to work in coordination with the Northwestern Common Bile Duct Exploration Simulator and a validated innovative training curriculum that has been proven to rapidly transfer skill and confidence in this underutilized procedure.

The impressive cadre of experts assembled for this book have experience that spans from the beginning of the era with George Berci, MD, to the more recent efforts of Fernando Santos, MD and Ezra Teitlebaum, MD. It is hoped that the blend of experience and innovation assembled in one place, utilizing digital visual, auditory, and interactive assets, will aid surgeons on their own journey to competently offer this procedure to their patients.
