Core Tip Timely intervention for biliary issues is crucial, as urgent and early retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) procedures generally lead to shorter hospital stays and lower costs compared to delayed interventions. Patients undergoing late ERCP face increased risks of severe complications like septic shock and respiratory failure, and higher readmission rates. While laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) patients experienced higher rates of certain complications (respiratory failure, bile duct perforation), adjusted analyses showed no significant difference in 30-day readmissions between LCBDE and ERCP, although LCBDE typically incurred longer stays and higher costs. Factors like older age, higher comorbidities, and Medicaid coverage were associated with increased 30-day readmission risk. Ultimately, prompt management of biliary conditions significantly influences patient outcomes, with delays often leading to a higher burden of care.
