Therapeutical splitting, combining endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERC) with laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC), is the preferred method for symptomatic gall stone disease when selection criteria are precise and endoscopic stone clearance is high.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • The optimal clinical strategy for combining Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERC) and Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (LC) remains undetermined.
  • This study critically analyzes laparoscopic bile duct exploration and correlates findings with a prospective study on
  • therapeutical splitting
  • .

Purpose of the Study:

  • To critically analyze laparoscopic bile duct exploration.
  • To correlate these findings with a prospective study evaluating
  • therapeutical splitting
  • .

Main Methods:

  • A prospective study of 1645 patients with symptomatic gall stone disease.
  • Patients underwent ultrasound examination; 309 had open cholecystectomy due to prior surgery or perforation.

  • Patients with high probability of common bile duct stones or biliary pancreatitis underwent ERC, Endoscopic Papillotomy (EPT), and stone extraction; 1336 patients had attempted LC.

    • Main Results:

    • Among 260 patients undergoing endoscopy, 70% required EPT and/or stone extraction, with 95% subsequently undergoing laparoscopic gallbladder removal.
    • Morbidity was 3% with no mortality in the endoscopic group (including biliary pancreatitis patients).
    • In the non-endoscopic group (1076 patients), conversion rate was 6.8%, morbidity 4.3%, and mortality 0.09%, with 0.5% residual stones.

    Conclusions:

    • Therapeutical splitting is the current method of choice.
    • This approach is effective when selection criteria for bile duct pathology demonstrate high sensitivity and specificity.
    • A high endoscopic stone clearance rate is crucial for successful therapeutic splitting.
