Introduction: Concomitant cholelithiasis and choledocholithiasis are commonly managed in two stage procedure, endoscopic management of common bile duct stone followed by laparoscopic cholecystectomy in different time and setting. We perform these two procedures in same sitting in operating room set up. We evaluated the procedure in terms of outcome, feasibility and complications.
Methods: Prospective cross-sectional study carried out since April 2013 to August 2016 in all patients who had undergone single stage endoscopic and laparoscopic management of concomitant cholelithiasis and choledocholithiasis. Patient’s demography, procedural time for different procedure and procedure in total and post-operative complications were recorded and analyzed with suitable statistical methods.
Results: Out of 50 cases enrolled, 2 patients were converted to open. Out of 48 patients, 3 needed re-attempt for completion. Majority were female 36 (72%), mean age was 39.48years. Mean common bile duct diameter and mean stone size was 11.43±2.63 cm and 7.99±2.01cm, respectively. Mean of total procedural time was 90.93± 33.68 minutes. In most of the cases, laparoscopic cholecystectomy performed first followed by endoscopic method (66.7%). Total procedural time was less in the patients who underwent laparoscopy first in comparison to endoscopy first. Clinically significant complications like cholangitis, pancreatitis and duodenal perforation occurred in 7 patients. Out of 4 patients who developed pancreatitis, one had severe acute pancreatitis requiring prolonged hospitalization.
Conclusion: Single stage management of common bile duct and gall bladder stone by laparoscopic and endoscopic method is feasible in our setup with acceptable results. Endoscopic treatment of common bile duct stone if performed first, is associated with longer procedural time.
