ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS
Research background

The incidence of common bile duct (CBD) stones is approximately 10%-15% of the total incidence of all CBD diseases.

Research motivation

If patients of gallstones with coexisting CBD stones do not receive timely and effective intervention, biliary obstruction may lead to severe infections and complications like toxic shock as well as many other threats to patients’ life and health.

Research objectives

This study aimed to explore the efficacy and safety of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) combined with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and LC combined with LC with CBD excision and stone extraction in one-stage suture in gallbladder and CBD stones.

Research methods

Total 94 patients with this condition from our hospital were selected for this study.

Research results

The incidence of complications was lower in the study group than in the control group.

Research conclusions

The treatment of gallbladder and CBD stones by LC combined with ERCP is worth promoting.

Research perspectives

The sample size was not large enough; a larger multicenter study is needed to confirm these results.
