Authors' objectives:
In patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy for gallstone disease, how does the use of intraoperative laparoscopic ultrasonography compare to the use of intraoperative cholangiography regarding the risk of mortality, bile duct injury, retained gallstone, conversion to open cholecystectomy, procedural failure, surgical complications, other complications, and operation time (with time for diagnostic method reported separately)?
Authors' results and conclusions:
For the comparison LUS versus IOC to visualise the biliary tract during laparoscopic cholecystectomy, this HTA shows that no conclusions can be drawn regarding the critical and important outcomes mortality, bile duct injury, retained gallstone, and procedural failure (all very low certainty of evidence). LUS may be associated with fewer conversions to open cholecystectomy (low certainty evidence) and is probably associated with a shorter imaging time (moderate certainty evidence), but data are lacking regarding potential effects on the
entire operation time. Given the sparsity of evidence combined with promising results, further well-designed studies are considered highly warranted.
