Core Tip

Core Tip: This study compared the clinical effects of dual-modality endoscopy (duodenoscopy and laparoscopy) vs traditional laparotomy in the treatment of intra- and extra-hepatic bile duct stones, and confirmed that the dual-modality endoscopy has significantly superior clinical advantages over the other from the perspectives of efficacy, safety, surgical indicators, serum inflammation, oxidative stress, etc.
