Overview

Case report details successful treatment of complicated choledocholithiasis using primary closure, suggesting a multidisciplinary approach.

Key Points

  • Primary closure after open common bile duct exploration shows promise in managing choledocholithiasis, even with complications.
  • The case involved a 55-year-old woman with acute biliary pancreatitis and cholangitis, highlighting the complexity of treatment.
  • A multidisciplinary approach proved beneficial, resulting in a self-limiting biliary leak that resolved spontaneously.
  • Results indicate that primary closure may lead to shorter hospital stays and fewer complications in select patients.
