ABSTRACT
Objective To explore clinical effect of choledocholithotomy by laparoscopy-assisted choledochoelectroscopy and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography.Methods The clinical data of 126 gallstone and choledocholithiasis patients treated by laparoscopy-assisted choledochoelectroscopy(L group)and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(E group)were analyzed retrospectively.In L group,the patients were performed LC and choledocholithotomy by laparoscopy-assisted choledochoelectroscopy directly,but in E group,the treatment procedures were finished by two steps.Firstly,the bile duct stones were carried out by ERCP,days later LC operations were performed.Between the two groups,the hospital days,costs,the rate of residual stone,the rate of bihary infection or panereatitis and the rate of stone recur were compared.Results In the two groups,hospital days were(6.5±0.3)d and(12.5±0.5)d,costs were(1.22±0.17)and(1.98±0.24)ten thousand yuan,the rate of residual stone was 0 and 5.3%,the rate of biliary infection or pancreatitis was 1.4%and 15.8%,and the rate of stone recur was 1.4%and 10.5%respectively.When compared each other the difference was statistically significant(t=2.48,1.96,χ2=4.32,4.90,8.79,all P＜0.05).Conclusion In patients with gallstone and bile duct stones,laparoscopy-assisted choledochoelectroseopy presented more predominances when compared with two steps methods.
