ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Choledocholithiasis removal via endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) then followed by laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) has gradually become the principal method in the treatment of gallstones and choledocholithiasis. We use ERCP through the cystic duct to treat gallstones combined with choledocholithiasis, with the aim to preserve the normal function of the gallbladder while simultaneously decreasing risk of biliary tract injury.

CASE SUMMARY: A total of six cases of patients diagnosed with gallstones and choledocholithiasis were treated with ERCP. The efficacy was evaluated via operation success rate, calculus removal rate, postoperative hospital stay and average hospitalization costs; the safety was evaluated through perioperative complication probability, gallbladder function detection and gallstones recrudesce. The calculus removal rate reached 100%, and patients had mild adverse events, including 1 case of postoperative acute cholecystitis and another of increased blood urinary amylase; both were relieved after corresponding treatment, the remaining cases had no complications. The average hospital stay and hospitalization costs were 6.16 ± 1.47 d and 5194 ± 696 dollars. The 3-11 mo follow-up revealed that gallbladder contracted well, without recurrence of gallstones.

CONCLUSION: This is the first batch of case reports for the treatment of gallstones and choledocholithiasis through ERCP approached by natural cavity. The results and effects of six reported cases proved that the new strategy is safe and feasible and is worthy of further exploration and application.
