Choledochal stone ERCP and minimally invasive (laparoscopic surgery) both have their own merits, can not specifically say which is better.
1.ERCP: endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, without incision, has the advantages of small trauma, fast recovery. The disadvantage is that the operation process needs to pass through the duodenal papilla and pancreatic ducts, which is easy to induce pancreatitis, pancreatic cysts, etc., and complications need to extend the hospitalization time and increase costs.
2. Laparoscopic surgery: suitable for conservative treatment is ineffective and endoscopy can not be resolved, the operation can be as far as possible to take the net stone, if necessary, can prevent the biliary drainage tube, the recovery is relatively fast, the incision is small, fast healing.
Choledochal stone, choose ERCP or laparoscopic surgery, need to be decided by the doctor according to the condition, actively cooperate with the doctor treatment.
