BMC Surg 2024; 24:67.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the efficacy and safety of laparoscopy combined with choledochoscopy in the treatment of elderly patients with cholecystolithiasis complicated with choledocholithiasis. METHODS A retrospective analysis of 114 patients admitted to our hospital from January 2020 to January 2023 was conducted. These patients underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy combined with choledocholithiasis and were divided into an elderly group (≥ 60 years old) of 63 cases and a young and middle-aged group (< 60 years old) of 51 cases according to age. The efficacy and safety indicators of the two groups of patients were observed, and complications were followed up by telephone within 6 months after surgery. The follow-up deadline was June 2023. RESULTS Among the eligible patients (53 men, 61 women, average age 57 years), all were successfully operated, and 1 case was converted to laparotomy. The elderly and young and middle-aged groups were compared concerning hospitalisation time, bowel sound recovery time, and total postoperative complications, and the differences were statistically significant (P-values were 0.009, 0.006, and 0.039). However, there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups of patients in terms of hospitalisation costs, intraoperative blood loss, operation time, drainage tube removal time, conversion to laparotomy rate, and stone clearance rate (P-values > 0 0.05). CONCLUSION Strict adherence to surgical standards and enhanced postoperative care resulted in similar efficacy and safety results for double endoscopy combined with the exploration of treatment for elderly and young patients with cholecystolithiasis and choledocholithiasis.

Lei C, Lu T, Yang W, Yang M, Tian H, Song S, Gong S, Yang J, Jiang W, Yang K, Guo T. Comparison of intraoperative endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and laparoscopic common bile duct exploration combined with laparoscopic cholecystectomy for treating gallstones and common bile duct stones: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Surg Endosc 2021; 35:5918-5935. [PMID: 34312727 DOI: 10.1007/s00464-021-08648-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2021] [Accepted: 07/16/2021] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of laparoscopic cholecystectomy combined with intraoperative endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (LC-IntraERCP) and laparoscopic cholecystectomy combined with laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LC-LCBDE) to determine which one-stage therapeutic strategy provides better outcomes for patients with gallstones and common bile duct stones. METHODS Cochrane Library, EMBASE, PubMed, and Web of Science databases were searched to identify eligible articles from the database inception to September 2020. The revised Cochrane risk of bias tools for randomized trials (RoB-2) and non-randomized interventions (ROBINS-I) was used to assess the quality of the included studies. The overall quality of evidence was assessed through the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) tool. The primary outcomes consisted of surgical success, retained stones, and overall postoperative complications, while secondary outcomes included postoperative bleeding, postoperative pancreatitis, postoperative bile leakage, conversion to laparotomy, and operative time. RESULTS Eight studies (four RCTs and four Non-RCTs with high quality) with 2948 patients were included. No significant difference was seen between the two groups regarding surgical success, overall postoperative complications, conversion to laparotomy, and operative time. The meta-analysis demonstrated that in the LC-IntraERCP group, the rate of retained stones (OR 0.51, 95% CI 0.28-0.91) and postoperative bile leakage were lower (OR 0.25, 95% CI 0.09-0.69), while in the LC-LCBDE group, postoperative bleeding (OR 5.24, 95% CI 1.65-16.65) and postoperative pancreatitis (OR 4.80, 95% CI 2.35-9.78) decreased. CONCLUSIONS LC-IntraERCP and LC-LCBDE exhibited similar efficacies when surgical success rate, overall postoperative complications, conversion to laparotomy, and operative time were compared. However, LC-IntraERCP is probably to be more effective in terms of lowering the rate of retained stones.

Abstract
We read the article published in the Spanish Journal of Gastroenterology and its accompanying editorial about the laparoscopic treatment of both cholecystolithiasis and choledocholithiasis in a single stage procedure. We would like to make some comments. Common bile duct (CBD) stones can lead to serious complications such as cholangitis and pancreatitis. So far, there is no standard surgical treatment for choledocholithiasis. Although, there are some ways to deal with CBD stones. Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages. In the era of advancements in minimally invasive technology, the treatment of CBD stones still remains controversial with regard to endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) or laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE). Preoperative ERCP followed by laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is frequently performed.
