Background: Various surgical methods are available for cholecystolithiasis plus choledocholithiasis. The objective of this study is to explore the association between laparoscopic methods and clinical outcomes of cholecystolithiasis plus choledocholithiasis. Methods: This cohort study retrospectively included patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery for cholecystolithiasis plus choledocholithiasis at our hospital (January 2017 to March 2021). The primary outcome was bile leakage. Results: Totally 127 patients were enrolled. The time to get out of bed and the indwelling duration of the abdominal drainage tube in the patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy + lithotomy of common bile duct + common bile duct primary suture + endoscopic nasobiliary drainage were higher than the endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography + laparoscopic cholecystectomy group, without differences in the laparoscopic common bile duct exploration group (all P < .05). All indexes decreased in the 3 groups after surgery (all P < .01). On the first day after surgery, only white blood cells ( P < .001) and gamma-glutamyl transferase ( P = .045) showed significant differences among the different surgical methods. The incidence of biliary leakage ( P = .001) was higher in laparoscopic cholecystectomy + lithotomy of common bile duct + common bile duct primary suture + endoscopic nasobiliary drainage, while the occurrence of hyperamylasemia was higher with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography + laparoscopic cholecystectomy ( P = .001). Compared with laparoscopic cholecystectomy + lithotomy of common bile duct + common bile duct primary suture + endoscopic nasobiliary drainage, laparoscopic common bile duct exploration was associated with fewer bile leakage (RR = 0.03, 95% CI: 0.003-0.37). Conclusion: Compared with laparoscopic cholecystectomy + lithotomy of common bile duct + common bile duct primary suture + endoscopic nasobiliary drainage, laparoscopic common bile duct exploration was associated with bile leakage.
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.
