Core Tip

Core Tip: Choledocholithiasis occurs in 10%–18% of patients with cholecystolithiasis. At present, the main treatment for cholecystolithiasis combined with choledocholithiasis is endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) combined with laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). However, this treatment has several disadvantages. In this study, the treatment outcomes of patients with cholecystolithiasis combined with choledocholithiasis were compared after LC + laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) vs ERCP + LC + LCBDE. Clinical efficacy was better ERCP + LC, patient recovery was accelerated, and surgical risks, postoperative complications, and serum inflammatory factors were lower after LC + LCBDE compared with ERCP + LC.
