Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Hepatobiliary Surgery

Context:

  • Obstructive jaundice due to choledocholithiasis presents a significant clinical challenge.
  • Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a common procedure for gallbladder disease.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of laparoscopic cholecystectomy combined with intraoperative cholangiography and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)-like stone removal for obstructive jaundice caused by choledocholithiasis.

Summary:

  • 75 laparoscopic cholecystectomies were performed. In 7 patients (3 men, 4 women, aged 32-87) with obstructive jaundice from choledocholithiasis, stones were identified via cholangioscopy and intra-operative cholangiography.
  • Stones were successfully washed into the duodenum after glucagon injection and papillary dilation, confirmed cholangiographically.
  • Post-procedure, serum bilirubin and liver enzymes normalized within days, with no operative or postoperative complications. Average hospitalization was 3 days.

Impact:

  • This minimally invasive technique offers a safe and effective solution for choledocholithiasis-induced obstructive jaundice.
  • It demonstrates reduced patient morbidity and shorter hospital stays compared to traditional open procedures.
  • The study highlights the feasibility of intraoperative bile duct stone clearance during laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
