Clinical research on laparascopic management for patients with both gallbladder and common bile duct stones / 中国内镜杂志

ABSTRACT

[Objective] To investigate the therapeutic status of laparoscopic management for gallbladder stones and common bile duct stones. [Methods] A Retropective study were adopted to analysize the therapeutic scheme,effect for patients with gallbladder stones and common bile duct stones who were treated from January 1996 to September 2004. [Results] 68 cases were diagnosed, and most of them underwent single stage laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) and common bile duct exploration (LC BDE). A few of them were treated through endoscopic procedure in combination with LC, or open surgery when the minimal invasive surgery failed. [Conclusions] Both them indicated that patients by LC+LCBDE have shorter hospital stay, easier recovery and less complications. LC+LCBDE has obvious advantage over the other methods with appropriate operative time and high success rate. For choledochlithiasis patients, the single laparoscopic management should be a better, major option.
