Comparative efficacy of laparoscopic choledocholithotomy with T-tube insertion vs. primary suture in the management of cholecystolithiasis complicated by choledocholithiasis.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of laparoscopic choledocholithotomy with either an indwelling T-tube or primary suture in treating cholecystolithiasis complicated by choledocholithiasis.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 133 patients with cholecystolithiasis complicated by choledocholithiasis treated at Inner Mongolia Aerospace Medical Baogang Hospital from March 2020 to March 2023. Patients were divided into a control group (laparoscopic choledocholithotomy with T-tube placement) and an observation group (laparoscopic choledocholithotomy with primary suture).
