About this study

Official title: Randomized Controlled Trial on Necessity of Cholecystectomy for Patients With Bile Duct Stones Combined With Gallbladder Stones After Clearance of Stones

To discuss necessity of cholecystectomy for patients with stones in their bile ducts and gallbladders in the absence of absolute operation indications of cholecystectomy after clearance of bile duct stones with ERCP.

Read the detailed description

Cholecystectomy was recommended for patients with stones in their bile ducts and gallbladders in European and American countries after clearance of bile duct stones with ERCP, which reduced the incidence of biliary events. However, some researches showed that the incidence of biliary events was not reduced but increased.The purpose of this study is to discuss the necessity of cholecystectomy for patients with stones in their bile ducts and gallbladders in the absence of absolute operation indications of cholecystectomy after clearance of bile duct stones with ERCP.

Being tested
gallbladder preserved, cholecystectomy
Keywords
gallbladder stones, common bile duct stones, Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography
Medical subject headings
Cholecystolithiasis

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • gallbladder preservedOther

    Gallbladders will be remained after clearance of bile duct stones with ERCP and conventional therapy, such as fluid replacement and prophylactic anti infection, will be accepted.

  • cholecystectomyProcedure or surgery

    Cholecystectomy will be done right now after clearance of bile duct stones with ERCP, and then conventional therapy will be accepted.
