Early Versus Late Cholecystectomy After Clearance of Common Bile Duct Stones

50 participantsStarted 2013-05

Plain-language summary

Approximately 10-15% of all patients with gallstones have coexisting common bile duct (CBD) stones. However CBD stones can also be formed in the absence of gallbladder stones. The current standard of treatment for calcular obstructive jaundice is endoscopic removal of the stones. Endoscopic sphincterotomy (ES) is widely accepted as the treatment of choice for patients with CBDS. Stone extraction is successful in up to 97% of patients The time interval between ERCP and laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is a matter of debate that may vary from days to months. Some retrospective and other prospective studies have investigated this issue without sharp clue or definite conclusion This study planned to compare early LC (within admission) versus late LC (after 1 month) after ERCP as regard technical difficulties and surgical outcomes.
