Laparoscopic Surgery and Modified Xiaoyan Lidan Decoction: An Effective Combination for Treating Cholecystitis with Cholelithiasis

Abstract

Objective: To assess the clinical effects of combining laparoscopic surgery with Modified Xiaoyan Lidan Decoction in patients diagnosed with cholecystitis and cholelithiasis. Methods: Following the guidelines of the double-blind method, 86 cases of cholecystitis with cholelithiasis were randomly divided into two groups, each comprising 43 cases. Both groups underwent laparoscopic surgery, with the observation group additionally receiving Modified Xiaoyan Lidan Decoction. A comparative analysis was conducted on clinical treatment effectiveness, general observation indicators, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) syndrome scores, and the occurrence of adverse reactions between the two groups. Results: The observation group demonstrated a significantly higher overall clinical treatment effectiveness compared to the control group (P < 0.05). The clinical symptom improvement time and hospitalization time were shorter in the observation group, and the pain score and TCM syndrome score after treatment were lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). No statistically significant difference was observed in the total reaction values (P > 0.05). Conclusion: The combined application of laparoscopic surgery and Modified Xiaoyan Lidan Decoction can enhance clinical treatment efficiency for patients with cholecystitis and cholelithiasis. It facilitates a quicker improvement in clinical symptoms without causing serious adverse reactions, suggesting its potential for widespread adoption.
