Core Tip Laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) is a standard treatment for cholecystocholedocholithiasis. This retrospective cohort study compares primary closure (PC) vs T-tube drainage (TD) after LCBDE. The findings indicate that PC is a safe and feasible alternative. Compared to TD, PC is associated with faster operative times, reduced abdominal drainage, shorter hospital stays, lower medical costs, and a significantly decreased incidence of postoperative electrolyte disturbances, without increasing the risk of bile leakage or other major complications.
