Synchronous laparoscopic cholecystectomy combined with endoscopic sphincterotomy offers a simpler procedure for cholecystocholedocholithiasis. This approach reduces complications and hospital stays compared to sequential methods.

Area of Science:

Gastroenterology
Surgical Innovation
Biliary Tract Disease Management

Background:

Choledocholithiasis, the presence of stones in the common bile duct, often coexists with gallstones.
Treatment typically involves gallbladder removal and bile duct stone clearance.
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) and endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) are standard procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

To compare the efficacy and safety of synchronous versus sequential LC combined with EST for cholecystocholedocholithiasis.
To evaluate key outcomes including operation time, complication rates, and hospital stay duration.

Main Methods:

Retrospective study of 150 patients with cholecystocholedocholithiasis.
Group 1 (n=70): Synchronous procedure (ERCP with EST during LC).

Keywords:

Cholecystolithiasis Choledocholithiasis Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography Endoscopic sphincterotomy Laparoscopic cholecystectomy

Group 2 (n=80): Sequential procedure (EST followed by LC).

Main Results:

No significant differences in baseline demographics or pre-operative parameters between groups.
Synchronous LC + EST showed significantly lower incidences of post-procedure pancreatitis (1.4% vs 6.3%) and hyperamylasemia (1.4% vs 10.0%).
The synchronous approach resulted in a significantly shorter hospital stay (3 days vs 4.5 days).

Conclusions:

Synchronous laparoscopic cholecystectomy combined with endoscopic sphincterotomy is a safe and effective treatment for cholecystocholedocholithiasis.
This combined approach simplifies the surgical procedure, reduces complication rates, and shortens hospital stays.
The synchronous method presents advantages over the sequential approach in managing coexisting gallbladder and bile duct stones.
