Primary closure with self-disengaging biliary stent following laparoscopic CBD exploration in normal-diameter ducts: a propensity score matching study

Abstract Laparoscopic Common Bile Duct Exploration (LCBDE) is highly effective for treating common bile duct stones (CBDS). This study aims to evaluate the safety and feasibility of primary closure with a self-disengaging biliary stent during LCBDE in patients with normal-diameter CBDs (≤ 8 mm) and...
