Abstract: Objective To evaluate the effect of LC+LCBDE and EST+LC in treating the cho-leeystolithiasis with choledocholithiasis. Methods The clinical data of 256 patients treated in our hos-pital were retrospectively analyzed. Of the 256 patients, 132 were treated by LC+LCBDE and 124 by EST combined with LC. The clinical data of the two groups was compared in operation success rate, operation time and cost, complication rate and operative hospital stay. Results There was no statisti-cal difference in the operation success rate, complication rate, operative hospital stay between 2 groups. However, there were significant differences in the operation time and cost between the 2 gruops. Conclusion There are respective indications, advantages and disadvantages in the two groups. EST+LC is the better choice for patients with a CBD<1.0 cm in diameter, stones impacted in the distal CBD, or old age. Otherwise, the better way is LC+LCBDE for patients with a CBD>1. 0 cm in diameter and multiple choledocholithiasis, especially in young and middle-aged people.
