Comparative Study of Three Bile Duct Closure Methods Following Laparoscopic Common Bile Duct Exploration for Choledocholithiasis

Abstract: Antegrade stents or T-tube insertion do not provide any added value for choledochotomy closure but are charged with specific morbidity. On the contrary, despite biliary leaks being more frequent after primary suture, they are of little clinical consequence and may be managed on an outpatient basis.

“…In 16 studies, 9,12,21,23,26,28,30,33,34,3741,43,44 46 patients (4.6%) in the PDC group and 59 patients (7.1%) in the TTD group had bile leak. The result tended to favor the PDC group, which showed a lower incidence of bile leak; however, no significant difference was found (OR = 0.68, 95% CI = 0.45–1.03, P = .07; no heterogeneity was found; I 2 = 0%; P = .99) ( Figure 2A ).…”

“…Seven were randomized controlled trials, 9,21,23,24,38,42,43 and the other 19 were retrospective cohort studies or prospective cohort studies. Sixteen studies 9,12,21,23,26,28,30,33,34,3741,43,44 compared LCBDE+PDC with LCBDE+TTD. Eight studies 24,25,28,29,32,36,42,45 compared LCBDE+PDC+IBD with LCBDE+TTD; three studies 27,31,35 compared LCBDE+ PDC+EBD with LCBDE+TTD; and one study 28 compared three bile duct closure methods following LCBDE ( Table 1 ).…”

“…More recent trends towards primary closure without a T‐tube are often limited by the diameter of the bile duct as a risk factor for the leak. The leak, however, is usually of little clinical importance compared with the added morbidity associated with T‐tube or stent insertion.…”
