Background: Stone impaction is an obstacle to successful laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE). This study aims to identify the incidence, operative difficulties and techniques used to disimpact and remove impacted stones during LCBDE.

Methods: Prospectively collected data from a large series of LCBDE.

Article Synopsis
  • Plans to increase medical student enrollment may raise costs and reduce hands-on clinical experience, making low-fidelity simulation with peer role-play an effective alternative for training.
  • A study involving 43 fourth-year medical students showed that participating in low-fidelity PRP simulations increased their confidence in key medical skills, particularly in managing non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) and SBAR handover.
  • The findings suggest that low-fidelity simulation is a valuable tool in medical education, helping students develop both technical and non-technical skills as class sizes grow, and further research could enhance its effectiveness.
