Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography combined with laparoscopic cholecystectomy for gallbladder with common bile duct stones: new simultaneous surgical technique

ERCP combined with laparoscopic cholecystectomy has gradually become a common one-stage treatment method for this type of disease in recent years. However, although this plan has achieved the resolution of all problems under a single anesthesia, the successive surgeries have prolonged the operation and anesthesia time. The intraoperative position changes have increased the difficulty of anesthesia management and the risk of neurovascular damage to patients. For the first time, we have reported the simultaneous completion of ERCP combined with laparoscopic cholecystectomy in the entire supine position, which is of great significance for simplifying the process, ensuring patient safety, and embodying the concepts of minimally invasive and enhanced recovery after surgery.
