Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and laparoscopic cholecystectomy during the same session:Feasibility and safety

摘要

AIM:To explore the feasibility and safety of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and laparoscopic cholecystectomy(LC)performed during the same session.METHODS:Between July 2010 and May 2013,156patients with gallstones and common bile duct(CBD)stones were enrolled in this retrospective study.According to the sequence of endoscopic procedures and LC,patients were classified into two groups:in group1,patients underwent endoscopic stone extraction and LC during the same session,and in group 2,patients underwent LC at least 3 d after endoscopic stone extraction.Outcomes of the endoscopic procedures and LC were compared between the two groups,respectively.RESULTS:There were 91 patients in group 1 and65 patients in group 2.The characteristics of the two groups were similar.The mean duration of the endoscopic procedures was 34.9 min in group 1 and 35.3min in group 2.There were no significant differences in the success rate of the endoscopic procedures(97.8%for group 1 vs 98.5%for group 2),the total rate of endoscopic complications(4.40%for group 1 vs 4.62%for group 2)and CBD stone clearance rate(96.7%for group 1 vs 96.9%for group 2).Duration of LC was53.6 min in group 1 and 52.8 min in group 2.There were no significant differences in the overall LC-related morbidity and postoperative hospital stay.CONCLUSION:Endoscopic stone extraction and LC performed during the same session was feasible and safe in patients with gallstones and concomitant CBD stones.
