ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate management strategy of minimally invasive surgery for common bile duct stones. Methods Three hundred and four cases of common bile duct stones were divided into 3 groups receiving respectively endoscopic papillary balloon delation plus laparoscopic cholecystectomy ( EPBD group, 35 cases ), endoscopic sphincterotomy plus LC ( EST group, 138 cases), and Laparoscopic common bile duct exploration plus LC (LCBDE group, 131 cases). Results There was no significant difference in treatment success rate, short-term complications and bile duct retained stones among these three group ( x2 = 1. 930, 0. 038, and 0. 427 respectively, P > 0. 05 ). There was significant difference among these three groups in operation time ( F = 17.941, P = 0. 000 ), and the operation time in LCBDE group was shorter than that in other two groups( EPBD-EST: P = 0. 122, EST-LCBDE:P = 0. 000, EPBD-LCBDE:P = 0. 020 ). There was significant difference among these three groups in postoperative hospital stay (F =24. 016,P =0. 000) ,and the postoperative hospital stay in EPBD group was shorter than that in other two groups ( EPBD-EST: P = 0. 000, EST-LCBDE : P = 0. 198, EPBD-LCBDE : P = 0. 000 ). In EPBD group,bile duct recurrent stones was found in 2 cases(6. 7% ) and cholangitis in 1 case(33% ) and no duodenal papilla stenosis was encountered; In LCBDE group, bile duct recurrent stones were found in 7 cases (6. 0% ), cholangitis in 3 cases ( 2. 6% ), and there was no duodenal papilla stenosis; In EST group, bile duct recurrent stones were complicated in 18 cases ( 15.8% ), duodenal papilla stenosis in 9 cases (7.9%), and cholangitis in 14 cases( 12. 3% ). There were significant differences among these three groups for these three complications( x2 = 6. 482, 9. 160, and 12. 020 respectively,P < 0. 05 ), and the rate of complications in EST group was higher than that in other two groups. Conclusion For common bile duct stones, EPBD is the first choice followed by LCBDE while EST is only indicated for very few cases.
ABSTRACT
Objective To discuss the clinical value and nursing of the three-endoscope in the treatment of eholedoeholithiasis. Methods 45 eases of choledocholithiasis patients who were treated with LCDE (three-endoscope) were named as the research group.56 patients who received traditional open ab-dominal surgery were set as the control group. The average hospitalization time and satisfaction degree with nursing were compared, t test and χ2 test were adopted. Results The average hospitalization time was shorter and satisfaction degree with nursing was higher in the research group than those in the control group. Conclusions The treatment of choledochohthiasis with three-endoscope is safe and feasible, es-pecially when combined with antibiotics lavage and stone dissolution through naso-biliary duct.The opera-tion can widen the surgical indication,reduce the risk of surgery with little damage,clear stones completely, reduce postoperative complicatioas,make patients recover faster, shorten the hospital stay and achieve the same or better treatment results when compared to the traditional open abdominal surgery.
