Clinical Trial: Antegrade Transcystic Balloon Dilatation of the Papillary Sphincter During Emergency Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy for Common Bile Duct Stones

U.S., March 25 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07490730) titled 'Antegrade Transcystic Balloon Dilatation of the Papillary Sphincter During Emergency Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy for Common Bile Duct Stones' on March 16.

Brief Summary: Adult patients diagnosed with common bile duct stones scheduled for laparoscopic cholecystectomy undergo intraoperative endoscopic sphincteric balloon dilatation (EBD). Postoperatively patients receive a MRT to confirm bile duct clearance. Patients are monitored for 30 day postoperative complications. EBD results are compared with those of ERCP that is more commonly used for bile duct clearance.
