Endoscopic sphincterotomy plus cholecystectomy is a safe treatment for gallstones and bile duct stones. This approach showed similar morbidity and mortality rates compared to other methods.

Area of Science:

Gastroenterology and Hepatobiliary Surgery

Background:

Choledocholithiasis (bile duct stones) and cholelithiasis (gallbladder stones) are common conditions.
Symptomatic patients require effective treatment to prevent complications.

Purpose of the Study:

To compare the outcomes of two treatment strategies for symptomatic choledocholithiasis and cholelithiasis.
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of endoscopic sphincterotomy followed by cholecystectomy versus cholecystectomy with common bile duct exploration.

Main Methods:

A prospective, unrandomized study of 40 patients.
Group 1: 20 patients underwent endoscopic sphincterotomy and later cholecystectomy.
Group 2: 20 patients underwent cholecystectomy and common bile duct exploration.

Main Results:

No significant difference in morbidity or mortality between the two groups.
The combined approach in Group 1 had complication rates comparable to individual procedures.
Endoscopic sphincterotomy plus cholecystectomy is a viable therapeutic option.

Conclusions:

Endoscopic sphincterotomy followed by elective cholecystectomy is a safe and effective alternative treatment for patients with choledocholithiasis and symptomatic cholelithiasis.
This combined approach offers comparable outcomes to cholecystectomy with common bile duct exploration.
