    Patients were divided into an experimental group using a combined approach and a control group receiving ERCP followed by laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

  • 3

    The experimental group had a mean operative time of 152 minutes and an estimated blood loss of 46 mL, with some experiencing postoperative pancreatitis.

  • 4

    Hospital stays were significantly shorter in the experimental group, although there was increased operative blood loss and time compared to the control group.

    The study suggests that the combined endoscopic approach is a minimally invasive option for managing gallstones associated with choledocholithiasis.
