No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Approximately 10-15% of all patients with gallstones have coexisting common bile duct (CBD) stones. However CBD stones can also be formed in the absence of gallbladder stones. The current standard of treatment for calcular obstructive jaundice is endoscopic removal of the stones. Endoscopic sphincterotomy (ES) is widely accepted as the treatment of choice for patients with CBDS. Stone extraction is successful in up to 97% of patients The time interval between ERCP and laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is a matter of debate that may vary from days to months. Some retrospective and other prospective studies have investigated this issue without sharp clue or definite conclusion This study planned to compare early LC (within admission) versus late LC (after 1 month) after ERCP as regard technical difficulties and surgical outcomes.

Conditions

  • Gallbladder and Bile Duct Calculi

Interventions

PROCEDURE

early cholecystectomy

Those patients are primarily managed by endoscopic sphincterotomy and stone extraction for management of CBD stones. Then, the study population will be divided into 2 groups; group 1 will be managed by early laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) within 3 days after ERCP

PROCEDURE

late cholecystectomy

Those patients are primarily managed by endoscopic sphincterotomy and stone extraction for management of CBD stones. Then, the study population will be divided into 2 groups; group 2 will be managed by late LC one month after ERCP.
