Meta Analysis[A meta-analysis of preoperative versus intraoperative endoscopic sphincterotomy in patients with gallbladder and suspected common bile duct stones].
To compare the safety and efficiency of preoperative endoscopic sphincterotomy (POES) versus intraoperative endoscopic sphincterotomy (IOES) in patients with gallbladder and common bile duct stones. ⋯ With regards to stone clearance and overall complication rate, POES is comparable to IOES in patients with gallbladder and common bile duct stones. However, IOES has a lowered incidence of ERCP-related pancreatitis and a shorter hospital stay.
