Safety and effectiveness of modified laparoscopic transcystic biliary drainage in the treatment of choledocholithiasis: study protocol for a prospective single-arm clinical trial.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Several techniques are used for laparoscopic treatment of gallstone disease with biliary duct stone, but each approach has indications and shortcomings. We have developed a modified laparoscopic transcystic biliary drainage for the management of cholecysto-choledocholithiasis. The hypothesis is that the modified laparoscopic transcystic biliary drainage will reduce morbidity from around 15% to less than 5%. The aim of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of the modified laparoscopic transcystic biliary drainage.

Methods and analysis

This is a prospective single-arm clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the modified laparoscopic transcystic biliary drainage. The recruited 310 patients will be from Peking University Third Hospital. (Here
