Abstract
A retrospective study of 4628 patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomies with choledocholithotomy with primary repair of common bile duct , with a mean follow-up of 23.2 months is carried outto evaluate the safety and feasibility of laparoscopic choledocholithotomy via choledochotomy for the treatment of choledocholithiasis in Dishari Health Point Private Limited, a multispeciality hospital in Malda from January 2004 to January 2019. We had to convert to open surgery in 27 patients and could complete the operation laparoscopically in rest 4621 patients. We also did open surgery in 30 patients apart from this. We analyse the results and it was found that Laparoscopic bile duct exploration via choledochotomy followed by primary duct closure is feasible and safe for the treatment of choledocholithiasis.
