Abstract:

Objective

To investigate the safety and feasibility of laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) with primary closure for management of choledocholithiasis in elder patients.

Methods

The clinical data of sixteen elder patients with choledocholithiasis who underwent primary closure of the common bile duct (without T-tube drainage) after LCBDE (group A) was compared with 20 non-elder patients who underwent the same procedure (group B). Both groups were evaluated with regard to operation time, hospital stay, and postoperative complications.

Results

The mean operation time was (116.31±11.31) minutes for group A and (106.80±10.58) minutes for group B; the hospital stay was (10.19±1.22) days for group A and (7.65±0.88) days for group B; both factors showed no significant difference. There were no bile leakage, abdominal bleeding, subphrenic infection and obstructive jaundice after operation in both groups. And there was no significant difference in incision infection, pulmonary infection and recurrence of stones in both groups.

Conculsion

It is safe and feasible for elder patients to have primary closure of the common bile duct without T-tube drainage after laparoscopic choledochotomy.
