Efficacy and safety of primary suture following laparoscopic common bile duct exploration in the treatment of elderly patients with cholecystolithiasis complicated by choledocholithiasis

Primary suture following LCBDE is a safe and effective treatment approach for cholecystolithiasis combined with choledocholithiasis in elderly patients. When the surgical criteria are strictly executed, primary suture offers superior perioperative outcomes over T-tube drainage, facilitating patients' recovery without increasing postoperative complications.
