Abstract:Objective:To discuss the clinical effect of combined use of duodenoscopy and laparoscopy for treatment of cholecystolithiasis complicated by choledocholithiasis.
Methods :The clinical data of 106 cases of cholecystolithiasis with cholelcoholithiasis in our department during 7 years were analyzed.Endoscopic sphincteromy (EST) and endoscopic nasobiliary drainage (ENBD), followed by laparoscopic cholecystectomy(LC) was employed.
Results:In 101 cases(95.3 %) stones were removed by EST successfully. Complicated with postoperative pancreatitis in 11cases(10.4 %), bleeding in 1 case (0.9 %), and acute cholangitis in 2 cases (1.9 %). All of the patients recovered and discharged. Eighty-five cases were followed up for average 3.1 years. Of them, 5 cases had choledocholithiasis recurrence, 1 had papillary re-stenosis, 2 had bile duct carcinoma, and 2 died of other caused.
Conclusions:Combined use of EST and LC for treatment of calculus of extrahepatic bile duct is a safe and effective mini-intrusive operation.
