Clinical application of a self- dislodging biliary stent for one-stage suturing following choledochotomy
Laparoscopic choledochal exploration followed by primary closure with a self-detachable biliary stent appears to be a safe, effective, and economically favorable strategy for the management of choledocholithiasis. This technique has the potential to serve as an alternative to conventional T-tube drainage, offering comparable safety while reducing postoperative complications and healthcare costs.
