CBD clearance rate, perioperative complications, and biliary complications were defined as the primary outcome parameters. Procedure time, length of hospital stay, conversion to open procedure were the secondary outcomes. Combined overall effect sizes were calculated using random\u2010effects models.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>We identified 30 studies reporting a total of 4073 patients comparing outcomes of laparoscopic TC (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20092176) and TD (<jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20091897) CBD exploration. The TC approach was associated with significantly lower overall complications (RD: \u22120.07, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.001), biliary complications (RD: \u22120.05, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.0003), and blood loss (MD: \u221216.20, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.02) compared to TD approach. Moreover, the TC approach significantly reduced the length of hospital stay (MD: \u22122.62, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.00001) and procedure time (MD: \u221212.73, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.005). However, there was no significant difference in rate of CBD clearance (RD: 0.00, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.77) and conversion to open procedure (RD: 0.00, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.86) between two groups.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Laparoscopic TC CBD exploration is safe and reduces overall morbidity and biliary complications compared to the TD approach. Moreover, it is associated with significantly shorter length of hospital stay and procedure time. High\u2010quality randomised trials may provide stronger evidence with respect to impact of the cystic duct\/CBD diameter, number or size of CBD stones, or cystic duct anatomy on the comparative outcomes of TC and TD approaches.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00268-019-05005-y","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,4,16]],"date-time":"2019-04-16T20:06:36Z","timestamp":1555445196000},"page":"1935-1948","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":55,"title":["Laparoscopic Transcystic Versus Transductal Common Bile Duct Exploration: A Systematic Review and Meta\u2010analysis"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"43","author":[{"given":"Shahin","family":"Hajibandeh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery Sandwell and West Birmingham Hospitals NHS Trust Birmingham UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shahab","family":"Hajibandeh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery, The Pennine Acute Hospitals NHS Trust North Manchester General Hospital Manchester UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Diwakar Ryali","family":"Sarma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery Sandwell and West Birmingham Hospitals NHS Trust Birmingham UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sankar","family":"Balakrishnan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery Sandwell and West Birmingham Hospitals NHS Trust Birmingham UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mokhtar","family":"Eltair","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery Sandwell and West Birmingham Hospitals NHS Trust Birmingham UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rajnish","family":"Mankotia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery Sandwell and West Birmingham Hospitals NHS Trust Birmingham UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Misra","family":"Budhoo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery Sandwell and West Birmingham Hospitals NHS Trust Birmingham UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yogesh","family":"Kumar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery Sandwell and West Birmingham Hospitals NHS Trust Birmingham UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,4,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00464\u2010002\u20108917\u20104"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/gut.2007.121657"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.gie.2009.09.041"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_5_1","first-page":"CD003327","article-title":"Surgical versus endoscopic treatment of bile duct stones","volume":"12","author":"Dasari BV","year":"2013","journal-title":"Cochrane Database Syst Rev"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1477\u20102574.2012.00439.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3748\/wjg.v18.i24.3156"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00423\u2010014\u20101254\u2010y"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00268\u2010014\u20102537\u20108"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00464\u2010018\u20106286\u2010x"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.b2700"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1365\u20102168.2000.01561.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_13_1","unstructured":"HigginsJP AltmanDG editors.Chapter 8: Assessing risk of bias in included studies.
