Cholecystectomy outcomes after endoscopic sphincterotomy in patients with choledocholithiasis: A meta-analysis
Background Endoscopic sphincterotomy is the standard treatment for common bile duct stones.There is different evidence considering complications specifically biliary pancreatitis and cholangitis with the use of cholecystectomy after endoscopic sphincterotomy.The purpose of this article is to compare the positive cholecystectomy after endoscopic treatment of common bile duct stones, whether the incidence of recurrent pancreatitis cholangitis is reduced, especially in high-risk patients.
Methods We searched Pubmed(1990-2019)、Embase(1990-2019)和 Cochrane(1990-2019)database for trials comparing the 2 strategies for gallstones after ES.A related article on the removal of gallbladder after endoscopic sphincterotomy was collected,followed by analysis of each group using RevMan.
Results We have adopted a total of 8 studies, including 7 randomized controlled trials and 1 retrospective study. A total of 12718 patients were included in the study, 4922 in the early cholecystectomy group, and 7795 in the gallbladder in situ group.During the follow-up period, 41 patients had pancreatitis after endoscopic sphincterotomy in the cholecystectomy group, and 177 patients in the wait-and-see group. The incidence of pancreatitis in the gallbladder in situ group was significantly reduced(RR 0.38, 95%CI 0.27 to 0.53, P < 0.00001,I 2 =0%).The incidence of cholangitis and jaundice in the removal of the gallbladder group was also less than that in the preserved gallbladder group(RR 0.31, 95%CI 0.26 to 0.38, P < 0.00001,I 2 =0%).There was no significant difference in mortality between the two groups(RR 0.73, 95%CI 0.52 to 1.02, P =0.07,I 2 =14%).There is a significant difference in cholecystitis or biliary colic(RR 0.25, 95% CI 0.21 to 0.29, P < 0.00001,I 2 =28%).
Conclusions Early endoscopic cholecystectomy after removal of common bile duct stones can effectively reduce biliary complications such as recurrent pancreatitis, cholangitis and cholecystitis. This is still true for high-risk patients, and has no significant effect on the mortality of patients. After ES,laparoscopic cholecystectomy should be recommended.
