Perioperative endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for common bile duct stones (CBDS) during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is effective but should be used more selectively. Current patient selection methods are inefficient.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Hepatobiliary Surgery

Context:

  • Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is a common procedure for gallstones.
  • Suspected common bile duct stones (CBDS) may necessitate further investigation and intervention.
  • Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a diagnostic and therapeutic tool for biliary conditions.

Purpose:

  • To retrospectively evaluate the utility and diagnostic accuracy of perioperative ERCP for suspected CBDS in patients undergoing LC.
  • To assess the effectiveness of various methods for predicting CBDS preoperatively.
  • To determine the success and complication rates of ERCP in this patient cohort.

Summary:

  • This study analyzed 153 patients undergoing LC, with 141 receiving preoperative ERCP and 12 postoperative ERCP.
  • Preoperative ERCP successfully identified CBDS in 28% of cases, with high stone retrieval rates (65% in one session).

  • The overall diagnostic and therapeutic success rate of ERCP was acceptable (9.9% complication rate, no mortality), but predictive methods like history, liver biochemistry, and ultrasonography showed low accuracy.

    • Impact:

    • The findings suggest a need for more selective use of ERCP in patients undergoing LC due to the low incidence of CBDS detected preoperatively.
    • Current non-invasive methods are insufficient for accurate patient selection, highlighting a gap in diagnostic strategies.
    • Optimizing ERCP utilization can improve resource allocation and patient management in hepatobiliary surgery.
