Chronic calculous cholecystitis in pediatric patients leads to choledocholithiasis in about 12% of cases. These patients require removal of stones from the common bile duct. The most common method of cleaning the common bile duct is endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, and the standard technique for removing the gallbladder is laparoscopic cholecystectomy. There are different approaches to the treatment of this category of patients: laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE), laparoendoscopic rendezvous method (LERV) and one-stage LC after ERCP. Given the inflammation of the gallbladder and the inflammatory process in the hepatoduodenal ligament, early laparoscopic cholecystectomy can lead to various intraoperative complications. The aim of this retrospective study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, endoscopic sphincterotomy with laparoscopic cholecystectomy in a delayed manner (single or repeated hospitalization).
