Laparoscopic choledochoduodenostomy offers a viable surgical option for patients with recurrent bile duct stones when endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and endoscopic sphincterotomy (ES) fail. This minimally invasive approach provides long-term biliary drainage solutions.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Innovation
  • Biliary Tract Surgery

Background:

  • Choledochoduodenostomy is infrequently performed due to the prevalence of ERCP and ES.
  • However, it remains a necessary intervention for complex cases involving failed ERCP/ES or recurrent CBD stones.
  • This highlights a gap in managing refractory biliary drainage issues.

Observation:

  • Laparoscopic choledochoduodenostomy was successfully performed in two patients (66 and 71 years old).
  • Both patients presented with recurrent common bile duct (CBD) stones after prior cholecystectomy and failed endoscopic interventions.
  • One patient had undergone three failed ERCP attempts, while the other had two prior ES procedures.

Findings:

  • The laparoscopic procedure was completed in approximately 3 hours for both patients.

  • Both patients experienced a short postoperative hospital stay of 4 days.
  • This demonstrates the feasibility and efficiency of the laparoscopic approach.

    • Implications:

    • Laparoscopic choledochoduodenostomy is a valuable alternative for managing patients with persistent biliary drainage problems after ERCP/ES failure.
    • This technique offers a minimally invasive solution for complex CBD stone recurrence.
    • Further research could explore its broader application in challenging biliary tract cases.
