Laparoscopic cholecystectomy with choledochotomy offers a direct approach for common bile duct stones. This single-session technique successfully removed stones in most patients without increasing morbidity or mortality.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Hepatobiliary Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Management of common bile duct stones during laparoscopic cholecystectomy is debated.
  • Existing methods like ERCP and cystic duct dilatation have associated risks and limitations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of choledochotomy during laparoscopic cholecystectomy for common bile duct stones.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective review of 425 laparoscopic cholecystectomies with cholangiography.
  • 11 patients with common bile duct stones underwent choledochotomy using scissors and Fogarty catheters.
  • T-tube placement and cholangiography were performed post-procedure.

Main Results:

  • Successful stone removal in 10 out of 11 patients during the same surgical session.
  • One impacted stone required delayed removal.
  • No increase in morbidity or mortality was observed.

    • Conclusions:

    • Choledochotomy during laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a safe and effective method for managing common bile duct stones.
    • This direct approach allows for single-session treatment, potentially improving patient outcomes.
