Laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) effectively clears common bile duct stones in over 95% of patients. This minimally invasive procedure offers a safe and cost-effective treatment option when performed by experienced surgical teams.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • Common bile duct stones pose a significant clinical challenge.
  • Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is a standard procedure for gallstones.
  • Laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) offers a minimally invasive approach to manage common bile duct stones.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) for managing common bile duct stones.
  • To assess the outcomes of LCBDE in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC).

Main Methods:

  • A prospective recording and retrospective review of data from 129 consecutive patients who underwent LC and LCBDE between April 2011 and June 2016.
  • Analysis of LCBDE success rates, complications, and patient outcomes.

  • Comparison of trans-cystic and choledochotomy approaches for LCBDE.

    • Main Results:

    • LCBDE successfully cleared the common bile duct (CBD) in 123 out of 129 patients (95.4%).
    • Only six patients required postoperative endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for residual stones or complications.
    • The median hospital stay was 4 days, with no retained CBD stones at a mean follow-up of 9 months.

    Conclusions:

    • Laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) is a safe and cost-effective treatment for common bile duct stones with favorable short-term outcomes.
    • Successful LCBDE requires adequate laparoscopic expertise and appropriate surgical facilities.
    • LCBDE can be reliably performed via trans-cystic or choledochotomy approaches.
