About this trial

Recruit patients with cholelithiasis with concomitant choledocholithiasis into the cohort, and assign them to undergo endoscopic transpapillary gallbladder-preserving cholecystolithotomy or ERCP plus laparoscopic cholecystectomy or conservative treatment based on patient preference. Collect clinical data and patient-reported outcomes regularly at baseline and during follow-up in the cohort. Assess the clinical safety of ERCP-GPC and LC by evaluating the clinical success rate of treatment as well as the incidence of short-term and long-term postoperative complications; investigate the efficacy differences among endoscopic transpapillary gallbladder-preserving cholecystolithotomy or ERCP plus laparoscopic cholecystectomy or conservative treatment in managing cholelithiasis with concomitant choledocholithiasis.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patients over the age of 18 years;

Ultrasound, MRCP, or other imaging examination findings (CT/MRI) clearly indicate a diagnosis of cholelithiasis with concomitant choledocholithiasis;

Patients with no history of gastrointestinal reconstruction surgery or cholecystectomy or previous biliary tract surgery (include history of ERCP);

Patients with every gallbladder stone ≤1 cm in diameter or sludge-like stones;

Disqualifiers

Atrophic cholecystitis; porcelain gallbladder; suspect malignant tumor of the gallbladder; stenosis of the lower segment of the common bile duct; Mirrizzi syndrome;

Unable to undergo endoscopic interventions for various reasons;

Absolute surgical contraindications, including severe hepatic, renal, cardiac and pulmonary insufficiency, history of cerebral coma and allergy to anesthesia, etc;

Presence of ectopic duodenal papilla or congenital pancreaticobiliary malformation;

Trial population

patients with cholelithiasis with concomitant choledocholithiasis

  • ERCP plus Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

    Procedure/Surgery

    Based on the patient's preference, they will receive the following treatment:ERCP plus Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

    Based on the patient's preference, they will receive the following treatment:ursodeoxycholic acid for stone dissolution,ESWL or symptomatic and supportive care.

Treatment groups

300 Participants
are divided into 3 treatment groups
Group A: Endoscopic Transpapillary Gallbladder-preserving Cholecystolithotomy1 intervention
Group B: ERCP plus Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy1 intervention
Group C: Conservative Treatment1 intervention

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Assess the clinical safety of ERCP-GPC ,LC and conservative treatments by evaluating the incidence of intraoperative,short-term and long-term postoperative complications.

Compare the rates of intraoperative, early, and late postoperative complications include bile duct injury and recurrence of bile duct stones,etc.

Time frame
From enrollment to 3 years after the end of treatment

Secondary outcomes

1

Investigate the differences in efficacy among endoscopic transpapillary gallbladder-preserving cholecystolithotomy , ERCP plus laparoscopic cholecystectomy and conservative treament in managing cholelithiasis with concomitant choledocholithiasis.

Compare the gallbladder stone clearance rate and bile duct stone clearance rate among the three groups; meanwhile, record the rates of successful gallbladder access establishment via FCMS and successful guidewire cannulation into the gallbladder in the gallbladder-preserving cholecystolithotomy group, so as to clarify the clinical success rate and technical success rate of this technique.

Time frame
From enrollment to 3 years after the end of treatment
2

Conduct a comparative analysis of the economic efficiency of ERCP-GPC , LC and conservative treatment.

Record duration of Hospitalization and total Medical Expenses of the three groups then calculate them as total medical expenses / duration of hospitalization (Unit: \[e.g., CNY/USD\] per day).It can reflect the average daily inpatient economic cost for each treatment, enabling integrated comparison of economic efficiency across the three groups.

Time frame
From enrollment to 3 years after the end of treatment
