Description
Manish C. Kak and colleagues report a one-stage operation for gallstones plus bile duct stones in 1,008 patients in 2026 work. Records covered adults treated between 2016 and 2024 whose duct stones measured 15 mm or less. The rendezvous method joins keyhole surgery with an endoscopic duct clearing in a single session.
Full clearance without conversion succeeded in 927 patients, and the average operation lasted near 52 minutes. Minor problems within 30 days stayed under 2 percent, and no cases of post-procedure pancreatitis appeared. Having more than three stones was the sole independent predictor of failure in their analysis.
