Common Bile Duct Pressure After Surgical Exploration

A study that included patients of any gender between 15 and 70 years, with the diagnosis of choledocholithiasis who required a cholecystectomy with an exploration of bile ducts. Conventional cholecystectomy was performed and a T-tube was inserted in the common bile duct (CBD) to measure the intraluminal pressure immediately after the procedure, and weekly thereafter, with a 6-week follow-up. A control T-tube radiological study was performed at six weeks to exclude residual stones.

About this study

A clinical, controlled, prospective, longitudinal, descriptive, observational and double-blinded study was designed. Patients of any gender between 15 and 70 years, with a diagnosis of choledocholithiasis, and who required a cholecystectomy with an exploration of bile ducts were included. Conventional cholecystectomy was performed and perioperative T-tube CBD pressure was registered immediately after the procedure, and weekly thereafter, with a 6-week follow-up.

Control T-tube cholangiogram was performed at six weeks to exclude residual stones. Data was analyzed with T-test for parametric values.

Treatment and study plan

Cholecystectomy and common bile duct exploration

Procedure

During elective open cholecystectomy, a basal commcn dile duct (CBD) manometry was obtained immediately after cholecystectomy, with a 10 Fr. silicone T tube introduced into the cystic duct and connected to a glass manometer.

Primary outcomes

  1. Basal common bile duct (CBD) pressure

    Time frame: Intraoperative

    Basal CBD manometry was obtained immediately after cholecystectomy

  2. First week control common bile duct pressure

    Time frame: First week

    CBD manometry was obtained one week after cholecystectomy

  3. Second week control common bile duct pressure

    Time frame: Second week

    CBD manometry was obtained two weeks after cholecystectomy

  4. Third week control common bile duct pressure

    Time frame: Third week

    CBD manometry was obtained three weeks after cholecystectomy

  5. Fourth week control common bile duct pressure

    Time frame: Fourth week

    CBD manometry was obtained four weeks after cholecystectomy

  6. Fifth week control common bile duct pressure

    Time frame: Fifth week

    CBD manometry was obtained five weeks after cholecystectomy

  7. Sixth week control common bile duct pressure

    Time frame: Sixth week

    CBD manometry was obtained six weeks after cholecystectomy
