Clinical Outcomes and Safety of Ureteral Catheter-Assisted Antegrade Guidewire Intubation in the Laparoscopic-Endoscopic Rendezvous Procedure for Cholelithiasis with Choledocholithiasis: A Retrospective Cohort Study

The use of ureteral catheter-assisted antegrade guidewire intubation during the laparoscopic-endoscopic rendezvous procedure appears to be a safe and clinically effective approach for managing cholelithiasis and concomitant choledocholithiasis. This technique is associated with a high success rate of guidewire realignment, reduced procedural duration, and a lower incidence of procedure-related complications.
