- Abstract: Objective To investigate the clinical value of gallbladder function in predicting postoperative complications after endoscopic treatment of calculus of common bile duct.Methods 118 patients with complete gallbladder who underwent endoscopic clearance for calculus of common bile duct were selected from January 2018 to December 2022.After the liver function recovered to normal,the patients underwent lipid meal ultrasound examination to evaluate fasting volume,residual volume,and gallbladder ejection fraction(GBEF).The relationship between clinical features,gallbladder function and recurrent biliary complications was analyzed in patients with calculus of common bile duct.Results Among the 118 patients with calculus of common bile duct,86 had concomitant cholecystolithiasis,while 32 did not.During the follow-up period,23 patients developed biliary complications.Among the 86 patients with concomitant cholecystolithiasis,15 had spontaneous clearance of cholecystolithiasis,14 underwent cholecystectomy due to acute cholecystitis or recurrent abdominal pain,and 6 died of non-biliary causes.The GBEF of the patients with cholecystolithiasis was significantly lower.Cholecystolithiasis,alcohol consumption,and more than one endoscopic treatment were the risk factors for recurrent biliary complications after endoscopic treatment of calculus of common bile duct.Conclusion Patients with calculus of common bile duct combined with cholecystolithiasis have poor GBEF.Cholecystolithiasis,alcohol consumption,and more than one endoscopic treatment are the risk factors for recurrent biliary complications after endoscopic treatment of calculus of common bile duct.Since cholecystolithiasis may spontaneously resolve,conservative monitoring of the gallbladder after endoscopic treatment for calculus of common bile duct is appropriate,but regular follow-up is necessary for high-risk patients.
