Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography Access and Complication Rates After Cholecystectomy With Common Bile Duct Stones
Sponsor: Karolinska Institutet
Summary
The aim of this retrospective, register-based study is to investigate whether access, or no access, to endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) at a surgical unit is associated with the risk of complications in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy with common bile duct stones detected on intraoperative cholangiography.
Official title: Complication Rates Associated With Access or Not to Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in Units Performing Cholecystectomy, When Common Bile Duct Stones Are Detected on Intraoperative Cholangiography
