Abstract:

Objective

To explore the therapeutic effects of small choledocholithiasis treated with the combination of choleretic and calculus-removal drugs, so as to improve the effect of non-operative treatment of small choledocholithiasis.

Methods

The clinical data of forty-one patients with common bile duct calculi (diameter≤8 mm, number≤3) treated with choleretic (33% magnesium sulfate) and lithotripsy (belladonna tablets, anisodamine) in Beijing Electric Power Hospital from November 2014 to January 2018 were retrospectively analyzed.

Results

The successful rate of stone removal in 41 patients was 73.17%(30/41), of which 30 cases (including 2 cases with acute cholecystitis) were successful group, and 11 cases (including 5 cases with acute cholecystitis) were failure group. Comparison of two groups with acute cholecystitis, stone discharge, stone discharge time and hospital stay showed no significant differences in stone discharge [1-3 (1.1±0.4) vs 1-2 (1.2±0.4), t=0.086, P=0.032] and hospital stay [3-23 (12.7±5.2) dvs 10-23 (15.8±4.1) d, t=2.014, P=0.051], while the failure group had a higher proportion of acute cholecystitis (45.45% vs 6.67%, χ2=6.033, P=0.024) and the time of lithotripsy was significantly prolonged [5-14 (9.4±3.5) d vs 3-16 (6.0±3.7) d, t=2.522, P=0.016]. The liver function indexes such as alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), total bilirubin (TBil), conjugated bilirubin (DBil), gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) after lithotripsy in the successful group were significantly lower than those before lithotripsy (t=3.369, 4.957, 5.112, 5.231, 2.264, 2.422; all P<0.05). After 6-18 months of follow-up, all 41 patients had normal liver function and no recurrence or regeneration of common bile duct stones.

Conclusion

The combined administration of choleretic and lithagogue drugs can promote the small choledocholithiasis into duodenum, reduce the chance of surgical treatment of small choledocholithiasis, not only as a non-operative treatment for the small choledocholithiasis, but also as a preoperative preparatory measure for the choledocholithiasis, so as to maximize the simplification of treatment, reduce patient pain, decrease treatment risks and avoid unnecessary surgery.
