ABSTRACT
Objective To discuss the way of treatment of bile duct stone with laparoscope and choledochoscope. Methods Forty six patients with bile duct stones admitted in our hospital from July 2001. to July 2008 were selected in this study. The 46 cases were divided into two groups:the control and observation group.The control group included 22 patients who were performed cholecystectomy and choledochotomy with T tube drainage. The obeservation group included 24 patients who were performed laparoscope and choledochoscope operation.We used the Mann-Whites statistics and compared the incidence of complications, the amount of bleeding and hospitalized days in patients between two groups. When P<0.05, the difference between the two groups was considered statistically significant. Results The incidence of complications after operation, amount of bleeding and hospitalized days in patients had no statistically significant difference between two groups. The time of operation in observation group was longer than control group. The bile stones eradication rate in observation group was higher than control gourp. and the bile stones recurring rate in observation group was lower than control gourp. Conclusion It is better to treat the bile duct stones by using laparoscope with choledochoscope than the way of traditional cholecystectomy and choledochotomy with T tube drainage, the former has advantages such as higher bile duct stones edarication rate, lower recurring rate, safer and more reliable operation and fewer complications.
