Title: Diagnostic value of T-tube cholangiography and choledochoscopy in residual calculi after
biliary surgery
Version: 2 Date: 01 Jul 2024
Reviewer's report:
Good idea, but some points should be corrected
- The timing of both techniques regarding the surgical intervention is not clearly described. Did
you mean that both methods were performed in the same surgical intervention setting? If so,
how could you perform the choledochoscopy through a sinus tract that is not yet established?
- Furthermore, I cannot imagine how you could introduce the choledochoscope after T-tube
removal. Why could the reverse not be performed if the techniques are used in the surgical
setting?
- Where are your follow-up data and variables of interest to measure, as well as their description
in the method section?
