Objective To compare the efficacy and safety of laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) primary duct closure and T-tube drainage in the treatment of cholecystolithiasis complicated with choledocholithiasis. Methods The clinical data of 104 patients from January 2019 to January 2021 were analyzed retrospectively, who underwent LCBDE for cholecystolithiasis complicated with choledocholithiasis in Department of Hepatobiliary Pancreatic and Splenic Surgery Ward Ⅰ, the Affiliated Chuzhou Hospital of Anhui Medical University. According to the different treatment methods of common bile duct, they were divided into primary duct closure or T-tube drainage group. There were 53 cases in PDC group and 51 cases in TTD group. The number, size, diameter distribution of common bile duct, success rate of stone removal, liver function indexes after operation, operation time, drainage tube retention time, postoperative hospitalization time, treatment cost and postoperative complications were compared between the two groups. Results There was no significant difference in the number, size, success rate of stone removal between the two groups (P>0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in liver function changes between the two groups before and after surgery (P>0.05). The difference in the distribution of common bile duct diameter was statistically significant in the two groups of patients (χ2=14.253,P< 0.05). The operation time, drainage tube retention time, postoperative hospitalization time and total treatment cost of PDC group were better than those of TTD group (P< 0.05). There was no significant difference in residual stone, bleeding, acutepancreatitis, bile leakage, acute cholangitis, biliary stricture and stone recurrence between the two groups (P>0.05). The incidence of electrolyte disorder in PDC group was lower than that in TTD group (P< 0.05) Conclusions Compared with T-tube drainage, primary duct closure after LCBDE can reduce surgical trauma, accelerate postoperative recovery and reduce postoperative complications. |
