Hyoscine Butylbromide During Transcystic Papillary Balloon Dilation for Choledocholithiasis

The purpose of the PAPRELAX study is to evaluate the intraoperative effect of intravenous hyoscine butylbromide during laparoscopic transcystic balloon dilation of the papilla of Vater in adult patients undergoing surgical treatment for choledocholithiasis. The study will evaluate whether administration of hyoscine butylbromide influences the duration of transcystic papillary balloon dilation and the balloon inflation pressure required for papillary dilation. Eligible participants enrolled prospectively will receive 20 mg of intravenous hyoscine butylbromide during laparoscopic transcystic papillary balloon dilation. Procedural characteristics and postoperative outcomes will be compared with those of a historical control cohort of patients who previously underwent the same procedure without hyoscine butylbromide.

Laparoscopic Endobiliary Stent and Postoperative ERCP Compared to Intraoperative ERCP

Laparoscopic endobiliary stent and postponed endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, ERCP, compared to intraoperative ERCP for the treatment of common bile duct stones, CBDS, a retrospective registry based cohort study. Data will be collected from GallRiks, the Swedish national registry for cholecystectomies and ERCP. Patients in the registry identified with found of CBDS at intraoperative cholangiography, IOC, and there after treated with ERCP during 2010-01-01 to 2023-12-31 are the study population. Research question: In patients with intraoperatively diagnosed CBDS - is there a difference in complications between laparoparoscopic endobiliary stent with postoperative ERCP, and intraoperative ERCP? Primary outcome: Complications within 30 days after cholecystectomy and the following ERCP. Secondary outcomes: 30 day mortality, procedure time for cholecystectomy, procedure time for ERCP, difficult cannulation, stone clearance at ERCP, cumulative hospital stay, readmission within 30 days after cholecystectomy/ERCP

Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography Access and Complication Rates After Cholecystectomy With Common Bile Duct Stones

The aim of this retrospective, register-based study is to investigate whether access, or no access, to endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) at a surgical unit is associated with the risk of complications in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy with common bile duct stones detected on intraoperative cholangiography.
