Study summary

In this study, it is planned to compare ERCP with ES + delayed LC in children, with one-stage LC + ERCP with ES in adults to confirm that ERCP with ES + delayed LC is more suitable for pediatric patients with cholecystocholedocholithiasis.

Read the detailed description

Nowadays there is no gold standard for the treatment of choledocholithiasis combined with cholecystolithiasis in the pediatric population. The most common method for resolving the biliary obstruction is endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) with endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) and laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). In the adult practice, the approaches to the treatment of choledocholithiasis include the following items: laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE), laparoendoscopic rendezvous method (LERV) and LC after ERCP. Both LCBDE and LERV allow for the simultaneous treatment of cholecystocholedocholithiasis. However, a great number of medical institutions do not have an opportunity to use these methods due to the difficulties of implementation and the need for special training and experience of specialists. The timing of LC after ERCP in patients with cholecystocholedocholithiasis also remains a subject of debate. Numerous studies recommend early LC after ERCP. However, there are high risks of injury to the common bile duct and hepatic vessels against the background of acute inflammatory process in the area of hepatoduodenal ligament. In this study, it is planned to compare ERCP with ES + delayed LC in children, with one-stage LC + ERCP with ES in adults to confirm that ERCP with ES + delayed LC is more suitable for pediatric patients with cholecystocholedocholithiasis.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, endoscopic sphincterotomy with delayed laparoscopic cholecystectomy in children with cholecystocholedocholithiasis compared with one-stage cholangiopancreatography, endoscopic sphincterotomy and laparoscopic cholecystectomy in adults with cholecystocholedocholithiasis.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Groups and cohorts

  • ERCP, EST and simultaneous LC

    Patients aged 10-80 years initially underwent ERCP with ES by an endoscopist with the consent of the patient or legal representative. Patients underwent endoscopic procedures using fluoroscopy in the operating room, under general anesthesia. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed immediately after ERCP with ES under general anesthesia

    Procedure: endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography; laparoscopic cholecystectomy

  • ERCP, EST and LC in a delayed manner

    Patients aged 0-17 years initially underwent ERCP with ES by an endoscopist with the consent of the patient or legal representative. Patients underwent endoscopic procedures using fluoroscopy in the operating room, under general anesthesia. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed in a delayed manner, not earlier than 7 days after ERCP

    Procedure: endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography;laparoscopic cholecystectomy

Interventions

  • Procedureendoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography; laparoscopic cholecystectomy

    Initially, ERCP with EST was performed by an endoscopist with the consent of the patient or legal representative. The patients underwent endoscopic procedures using fluoroscopy in the operating room, under general anesthesia. Subsequently, laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed immediately after ERCP with ES under general anesthesia.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Mar 10, 2025, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
