The effect of hepatic bile on retained common duct stones. 1976

O G Thurston, and R M McDougall

Study of the time interval since cholecystectomy in 91 patients with symptomatic choledocholithiasis who presented after cholecystectomy led to the conclusion that retained common duct stones increase in size with the passage of time. The inference is that, in these patients bile remains supersaturated with cholesterol after cholecystectomy.
