What the experts said
The study was a multi-center retrospective study conducted in the US from 2018 to 2022
The study aim was to compare patients with suspected choledocholithiasis who underwent transcystic laparoscopic common bile duct exploration versus those who underwent ERCP first
The study included 252 patients total
156 patients were in group one (transcystic laparoscopic common bile duct exploration)
96 patients were in group two (ERCP first)
Patients in group one (transcystic laparoscopic approach) had significantly less complication rates compared to group two
Patients in group one (transcystic laparoscopic approach) had lower length of stay compared to group two
Attempting a transcystic laparoscopic common bile duct exploration may benefit pediatric patients with choledocholithiasis
