Description

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy combined with intraoperative ERCP is one of the most advanced and efficient approaches for managing gallbladder stones along with common bile duct (CBD) stones. At World Laparoscopy Hospital (WLH), this technique is performed with precision, state-of-the-art equipment, and a high level of surgical expertise, ensuring optimal patient outcomes. This integrated procedure begins with a standard laparoscopic removal of the gallbladder through small keyhole incisions. When CBD stones or ductal obstruction are suspected, intraoperative ERCP is carried out during the same anesthesia session. Using endoscopic guidance, the surgical team visualizes the bile duct from within, removes stones, and ensures complete ductal clearance. This eliminates the need for a separate ERCP session before or after surgery, reducing patient discomfort and hospital visits. The advantages of performing intraoperative ERCP at WLH include faster recovery, reduced complications, and a single-stage management of complex biliary diseases. The hospital’s advanced SpyGlass cholangioscopy system and high-definition imaging allow surgeons to safely navigate the bile ducts and treat even challenging cases with confidence. World Laparoscopy Hospital’s multidisciplinary team—consisting of laparoscopic surgeons, gastroenterologists, and anesthesiologists—ensures seamless coordination throughout the procedure. With a focus on minimally invasive excellence, WLH continues to serve as a global training and treatment center, offering cutting-edge solutions for gallbladder and biliary tract disorders.
