Laparoscopic common bile duct exploration and side-to-side choledochoduodenostomy effectively treat recurrent choledocholithiasis and biliary obstruction. This laparoscopic approach offers a viable alternative to open surgery for selected patients.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology and Hepatobiliary Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Surgical Techniques

Background:

  • Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is standard for symptomatic cholelithiasis.
  • Management of common bile duct stones during laparoscopy remains debated.
  • Perioperative endoscopic retrograde cholangiography is common, but laparoscopic common bile duct exploration is gaining traction.

Observation:

  • Two patients with recurrent choledocholithiasis and biliary obstruction from benign strictures were treated.
  • Both patients underwent laparoscopic common bile duct exploration and stone extraction.
  • A laparoscopic side-to-side choledochoduodenostomy was performed for biliary drainage.

Findings:

  • The laparoscopic choledochoduodenostomy successfully resolved jaundice and relieved biliary obstruction in both patients.

  • This technique provides a tension-free anastomosis with an adequate stoma.
  • Intracorporeal suturing and knot-tying are critical for successful outcomes.

    • Implications:

    • Laparoscopic choledochoduodenostomy is a feasible and effective alternative to open choledochoduodenostomy.
    • This minimally invasive approach can be considered for selected patients with choledocholithiasis and biliary obstruction.
    • Advancements in laparoscopic techniques enhance the management of complex hepatobiliary conditions.
