    Transduodenal biliary sphincterotomy demonstrated superior clinical outcomes for bile duct exploration compared to conventional supraduodenal choledochotomy or a combined approach. This method resulted in lower mortality and fewer complications, including residual stones and cholangitis.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Innovation
    • Hepatobiliary Surgery

    Background:

    • Bile duct exploration is crucial for managing various hepatobiliary conditions.
    • Multiple surgical techniques exist, necessitating comparative analysis for optimal patient care.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To retrospectively compare the clinical outcomes of three distinct surgical approaches for bile duct exploration.
    • To identify the procedure with the lowest mortality and morbidity rates.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 12-year consecutive patient data from The London Hospital.
    • Comparison of conventional supraduodenal choledochotomy, transduodenal biliary sphincterotomy, and a combined approach.
    • Evaluation of mortality, early and late complications, and stenosis rates for each method.

    Main Results:

    • Transduodenal biliary sphincterotomy showed the lowest mortality (2.4%) and morbidity.
    • Supraduodenal choledochotomy had a mortality of 4%.
    • The combined approach exhibited higher mortality (7.7%) and complication rates than either method alone, with residual stones and cholangitis being significantly more frequent.

    Conclusions:

    • Transduodenal biliary sphincterotomy is associated with the best clinical results, offering lower mortality and morbidity.
    • The combined approach does not appear to offer advantages and is linked to increased adverse outcomes.
    • Further investigation into the role of post-exploratory cholangiography in the supraduodenal approach may be warranted.
