Abstract: Objective To evaluate the safety,feasibility of primary closure after laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE).Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical results of laparoscopic common bile duct exploration for common bile duct stones in 119 cases between July 2009 and August 2012.After all stones were removed,there were 63 cases with primary closure of the common bile duct (group A),and 56 cases with T tube drainage (group B).Results All operations were finished laparoscopically.There was significant difference in terms of operation time,postoperative hospital stay and fluid replacement between the two groups.There was no postoperative extrahepatic duct stenosis and biliary residual stones in the two groups.Conclusions Primary closure of common bile duct after LCBDE for common bile duct stones is safe,efficient and feasible.
