Repeat ERCP versus Common Bile Duct Exploration for Failed Stone Clearance: A Prospective Randomized Study

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is the gold standard for bile duct stone clearance. However, it fails in 3-15% of cases, particularly with large or impacted stones. This study compares the outcomes of a second ERCP attempt versus Common Bile Duct Exploration (CBDE) after a failed initial ERCP.
