A randomised controlled study for comparison of primary closure of common bile duct versus t-tube drainage in case of choledocholithiasis
Journal Title: International Journal of Allied Medical Sciences and Clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
The closure of common bile duct (CBD) after choledocholithotomy can be done over T-tube or primarily. The method of T-tube drainage comes with many complications and hence, nowadays, there is tendency to close CBD primarily which leads to less complications and shorter duration of stay at hospital. We conducted this study comparing primary closure of CBD with T-tube drainage following choledocholithotomy over a period of one year in 40 patients divided in two groups each of 20 i.e. Group A – primary closure and Group B- T-tube drainage . The results were compared in terms of operating time, duration of stay at hospital and complications such as leakage and wound infection. It was observed that primary closure group had less operating time, less duration of hospital stay and less complication rates as compared to T-tube group. Hence, we concluded in our study that primary closure can be recommended as safe alternative procedure after choledocholithotomy in selected patients of choledocholithiasis.
