NCT04968873

Brief Summary

A study that included patients of any gender between 15 and 70 years, with the diagnosis of choledocholithiasis who required a cholecystectomy with an exploration of bile ducts. Conventional cholecystectomy was performed and a T-tube was inserted in the common bile duct (CBD) to measure the intraluminal pressure immediately after the procedure, and weekly thereafter, with a 6-week follow-up. A control T-tube radiological study was performed at six weeks to exclude residual stones.

Study Arms (1)

Patients with Choledocholithiasis

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients were managed by elective open cholecystectomy and operative exploration of the common bile duct.

Procedure: Cholecystectomy and common bile duct exploration

Interventions

During elective open cholecystectomy, a basal commcn dile duct (CBD) manometry was obtained immediately after cholecystectomy, with a 10 Fr. silicone T tube introduced into the cystic duct and connected to a glass manometer.
