Introduction: Concrements of the common bile duct (choledocholithiasis) occur from 8% to 20% in patients with acute cholecystitis. This pathology requires simultaneous correction of the pathology of the gallbladder and the common bile duct. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the case histories of 135 patients who underwent endoscopic retrograde cholangio pancreatography, endoscopic papillosphincterotomy, choledocholithoextraction followed by laparoscopic cholecystectomy + CHEST + LCE) for acute cholecystitis in combination with choledocholithiasis in the period from January 2016 to March 2021. Patients who underwent simultaneous treatment (ERCP + EPST + CLE + LCE under one anesthesia) were assigned to the OS group (n = 63), patients who underwent two-stage treatment (ERCP + EPST + CLE and LCE on the 3-4th day during one hospitalization) were assigned to the TS group (n = 72). All endoscopic procedures in both groups were performed by the same endoscopist using the same technique. Result: There were significant differences between the groups in terms of the duration of anesthesia, the dynamics of the decrease in the blood serum of the total bilirubin and the leukocytes range at the postoperative period, the frequency of postoperative complications and the duration of the average hospitalization in favor of one-stage treatment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
