Overview

The present study aimed to compare early and delayed laparoscopic cholecystectomy after ERCP for CBDs and gallstones.

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) followed by laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is a commonly performed treatment modality for concomitant common bile duct stones (CBDs) and gallbladder stones. There has been a debate about the appropriate timing of laparoscopic cholecystectomy after ERCP. The present study aimed to compare early and delayed laparoscopic cholecystectomy after ERCP for CBDs and gallstones adding new parameters like Nassar scale.
