Brief Summary

In this retrospective study, we aimed to detect of effects of ERCP on outcomes of Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy. Patients underwent elective cholecystectomy surgery with a diagnosis of symptomatic cholelithiasis were identified and divided into two main groups regarding to have a ERCP procedure prior to surgery or not. To eliminate possible differences in baseline characteristics, patients in ERCP and non-ERCP groups were propensity score-matched 1:1 using nearest-neighbor matching without replacement based on age, sex and ASA score. Following propensity score matching (PSM), the ERCP and non-ERCP groups were first compared to detect effects of the ERCP procedure itself. After comparison of two main groups, subgroup analyzes performed for the ERCP group to detect effect of ERCP-related variables (indication for ERCP procedure, time between last ERCP procedure and surgery, number of preoperative ERCPs, stone extractions, and biliary stent use)

Study Population

After exclusion, patients first divided to two groups regarding to have a ERCP procedure prior to surgery or not. Age, sex, ASA scores, history of previous abdominal surgery, Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) values were included as baseline data. In terms of CCI scores, patients categorized into two subgroups according to CCI scores greater than 3 or not. To eliminate possible differences in baseline characteristics, patients were propensity score-matched 1:1 using nearest-neighbor matching without replacement based on age, sex and American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score. Following propensity score matching (PSM), the ERCP and non-ERCP groups were first compared to detect effects of the ERCP procedure itself.

You may qualify if:

  • All patients aged 18 years and over who underwent elective cholecystectomy surgery with a diagnosis of symptomatic cholelithiasis and whose surgery was started laparoscopically

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients with a diagnosis of malignancy, with a history of percutaneous cholecystostomy, who underwent cholecystectomy while being operated for a different indication, and those who were diagnosed with cholecystoenteric fistula during the operation, were excluded from the study.
