Abstract
Background: Early and effective management of choledocholithiasis is imperative to decrease patient morbidity. Despite the widespread use of ERCP, advancements in laparoscopy and choledochoscopy have renewed interest in laparoscopic CBD exploration (LCBDE). This meta-analysis compares outcomes of 2-stage ERCP followed by laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) versus one-stage transcystic LCBDE plus LC.
Methods: A comprehensive literature search was performed in PubMed, CENTRAL, and Embase databases according to PRISMA guidelines. Studies were selected based on specific criteria. Data on stone clearance, postoperative pancreatitis, bleeding, mortality, and length of stay were extracted.
Results: Seven comparative non-randomized studies enrolling 669 "one-stage LCBDE patients" and 724 "two-stage ERCP patients" were included. Overall, there were no statistically significant differences regarding the rates of stone clearance, pancreatitis, bleeding, and mortality between the 2 groups.
Conclusion: One-stage transcystic LCBDE is noninferior to the 2-stage ERCP + LC approach, supporting its use as a first-line treatment for choledocholithiasis.
