Laparoscopic choledocholithiasis superior to ERCP for common bile duct stones after cholecystectomy
Laparoscopic choledocholithiasis superior to ERCP for common bile duct stones after cholecystectomy suggests a new study published in the BMC Surgery.
A study was done to compare the overall efficacy of laparoscopic common bile duct exploration(LCBDE) with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP ) after cholecystectomy.
From January 2017 to July 2021, Seventy patients with Choledocholithiasis after cholecystectomy who were admitted to our hospital were selected and divided into ERCP and LCBDE groups. comparison of baseline characteristics, clinical efficacy and postoperative complications between the ERCP and LCBDE.
The overall efficacy rate of LCBDE was 97.1%, while the overall efficacy rate in the ERCP group was 76.6%. The LCBDE group demonstrated a significantly higher overall effective rate compared to the ERCP group, with a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05). ②The preoperative and postoperative complications of the LCBDE group were visibly lower than the other group (P < 0.05). The postoperative time to oral intake, postoperative ventilation time, length of hospital stay, and hospital costs were higher in the ERCP group compared to the LCBDE group, with a statistically significant difference (P < 0.05).
