Laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) has been recently introduced for management of CBD stone in patients with previous biliary surgery history. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of primary closure in patients with previous biliary surgery history compared to T-tube drainage. Eighty patients with previous biliary surgery history including laparoscopic cholecystectomy, open cholecystectomy, or open common bile duct exploration were enrolled in the retrospective study. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to the methods of choledochotomy closure. Group A: patients with primary closure after LCBDE (n = 51); group B: patients with T-tube drainage after LCBDE (n = 29). Group A exhibited a shorter postoperative hospital stay and lower hospitalization expenses compared to group B. There was no significant difference in conversion rate to open surgery, operating time, intraoperative blood loss, bile leakage rate, overall complication rate, and stone recurrence rate between the 2 groups. Biliary stricture was not observed in the 2 groups during the follow-up period. Primary closure following LCBDE is safe and effective for the management of CBD stones in patients with previous biliary surgery history.

Laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) had become one of the main options for management of choledocholithiasis. This retrospective comparative study aimed to evaluate on the feasibility and advantages of primary closure versus conventional T-tube drainage of the common bile duct (CBD) after laparoscopic choledochotomy. In this retrospective analysis, 100 patients (47 men and 53 women) with choledocholithiasis who underwent primary closure of the CBD (without T-tube drainage) after LCBDE (Group A) were compared with 92 patients who underwent LCBDE with T-tube drainage (Group B). Both groups were evaluated with regard to biliary complications, hospital stay, and recurrence of stones. The mean operation time was 104.12 minutes for Group A and 108.92 minutes for Group B ( P = 0.069). The hospital stay was significantly shorter in Group A than that in Group B (6.95 days and 12.05 days, respectively; P < 0.001). In Group A, bile leakage occurred in two patients on postoperative Day 2 and Day 3, respectively. In Group B, bile leakage noted in one patient after removal of the T-tube on Day 14 after operation ( P = 1.000). With a median follow-up time of 40 months for both groups, stone recurrence was noted in two patients in Group A and three patients in Group B ( P = 0.672). Primary closure of the CBD is safe and feasible in selected patients after laparoscopic choledochotomy. It results in shorter duration of hospital stay without the need for carrying/care of a T-tube in the postoperative period and similar stone recurrence as that of the conventional method.

Introduction: One of the safe & feasible methods for the management of extra-hepatic bile duct calculi is laparoscopic bile duct exploration. Around 10-15% of the subjects who have surgery due to gallstone disease have choledocholithiasis associated with it. A standard procedure to prevent bile escape from the choledochotomy site is conventionally postoperative T-tube drainage following common bile duct exploration.  Aims & Objectives: Comparative study of laproscopic common bile duct exploration using stent drainage versus t- tube drainage. Material & Methods: The study involved a total of 46 subjects with choledocholithiasis, who were categoryed in 2 categorys. Category I as a drainage category of stents and Category 2 as a drainage category of T-tubes. The subjects in both classes underwent LCBDE surgery. Of the 46 subjects operated, 23 were in category I (stent drainage category) and 23 were in category 2 (T-tube drainage category).  Results:  23 subjects were categoryed in the stent drainage and T-tube drainage categories, respectively. In both classes, no perioperative or postoperative mortality was reported. Subjects had hypertension in stent drainage category 4 (17.39 percent) and 5 (21.73 percent) suffered from diabetes as a comorbid disease, while 2 (8.69 percent) subjects had jaundice. Four (17.39 percent) subjects with diabetes and three (13.04 percent) subjects with jaundice were found in T-tube drainage category 3 (13.04 percent) with hypertension. In both classes, no statistically significant difference was found. In terms of organisational results and outcomes, statistically significant variations were found in both categorys (Table 3). Mean operating time was 103± 22.4 in category I while 127±32.7 (P value < 0.005) in category II. In the Stent Drainage Category, blood loss during procedure was 22±3.7 ml, while in the T-tube drainage category it was 38±5.1 (P value < 0.005). Conclusion. After laparoscopic choledochotomy, primary closure of the bile duct with spontaneously reversible biliary stent placement is a viable and practicable process. With spontaneously removable biliary stents, less surgery time, less bleeding and less intestinal complications have been observed. Keywords: stent drainage, T- tube drainage, choledochotomy

Background: Choledocholithiasis is primarily managed by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) but in certain situation particularly large and impacted common duct stone, the procedure may not succeed and this small group of patients require either open or laparoscopic common bile duct exploration followed by T-tube insertion. Usually T-Tube cholangiogram is performed on 10th postoperative day and tube is removed on 12-14th day. Alternatively, primary closure of duct after post exploratory choledochoscopy to ensure duct clearance with or without biliary stent can be done.Methods: This study was performed on 25 patients of failed endoscopic extraction, subjected to open choledocholithotomy. Group A (n=7) had T-tube insertion whereas group B (n=18) had primary closure of duct after choledochotomy.Results: 19 patients had calculus cholecystitis whereas 6 patients had prior cholecystectomy and later developed choledocholithiasis. 52% patients had impacted stone and 40% had large stone as a cause of ERCP failure. Postoperative pyrexia, cholangitis, septicemia, sub-hepatic bilious drainage and postoperative hospital stay was higher in T-tube group as compared to primary closure group.Conclusions: Primary closure over the biliary stent after cholecystectomy and/or choledocholithotomy has less morbidity as compared to T-tube insertion and hence should be preferred choice in choledocholithiasis, provided stone free duct is ensured peroperative using choledochoscopy.
