What this Trial Is About
Chronic calculous cholecystitis in pediatric patients leads to choledocholithiasis in about 12% of cases. These patients require removal of stones from the common bile duct. The most common method of cleaning the common bile duct is endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, and the standard technique for removing the gallbladder is laparoscopic cholecystectomy. There are different approaches to the treatment of this category of patients: laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE), laparoendoscopic rendezvous method (LERV) and one-stage LC( laparoscopic cholecystectomy) after ERCP( endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography). The aim of this prospective study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety Laparoendoscopic rendezvous for difficult cholecystocholedocholithiasis.
