Core Tip

Core Tip: This research project included 82 patients with extrahepatic bile duct stones (EHBDSs) for a comparative analysis of the clinical advantages of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) plus common bile duct exploration (CBDE) vs open choledocholithotomy plus LC or open cholecystectomy for EHBDSs and an exploration of the risk factors for postoperative stone recurrence. It was found that for patients with EHBDSs, treatment with LC plus CBDE can reduce stone residue and intraoperative bleeding, as well as lower complication and postoperative recurrence rates. Our findings can shed new light on the optimization of treatment for patients with EHBDSs.
