Endoscopic papillotomy (EP) with stone extraction is more effective and safer for choledocholithiasis than surgical common bile duct exploration (CBDE). EP resulted in fewer complications and shorter hospital stays, making it a preferred treatment for bile duct stones.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Endoscopy
  • Biliary Tract Diseases

Background:

  • Choledocholithiasis, or bile duct stones, presents a significant clinical challenge.
  • Management options include surgical common bile duct exploration (CBDE) and endoscopic papillotomy with stone extraction (EP).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the efficacy and safety of CBDE versus EP for managing choledocholithiasis.
  • To evaluate patient outcomes, including stone clearance, morbidity, and hospital stay.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective chart review of 100 patients with choledocholithiasis.
  • Comparison of outcomes between 42 patients treated with CBDE and 58 patients treated with EP as initial therapy.

Main Results:

  • EP achieved higher rates of successful stone extraction (90% vs 79%) compared to CBDE.
  • EP patients experienced lower morbidity (10% vs 23%) and significantly shorter hospital stays (3.6 vs 10.4 days).
  • Mortality rates were similar between the two groups (1.7% EP, 2.3% CBDE).

    • Conclusions:

    • Endoscopic papillotomy is a highly effective and less invasive treatment for choledocholithiasis.
    • EP offers advantages in terms of stone clearance, reduced morbidity, and shorter hospitalization compared to CBDE.
