Laparoscopic transcystic stenting with postoperative ERCP for the treatment of common bile duct stones: a safe alternative to intraoperative rendezvous ERCP-Data from the Swedish registry for gallstone surgery and ERCP (GallRiks).

Key Points

• This research aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of transcystic stenting with postoperative ERCP for common bile duct stones (CBDS).
• Data collected from the Swedish registry for gallstone surgery and ERCP (GallRiks)
• Comparison between transcystic stenting and intraoperative rendezvous ERCP
• Assessment of postoperative outcomes and complications
• Transcystic stenting demonstrated a comparable safety profile to intraoperative rendezvous ERCP.
• Postoperative ERCP was successfully performed without significant complications.
• Suggested for use in units lacking resources for unplanned ERCP procedures.
