The primary aim of this study was to determine how different techniques for management of common bile duct stone (CBDS) clearance in patients undergoing cholecystectomy have changed over time at tertiary referral hospitals (TRH) and county\/community hospitals (CH). The secondary aim was to see if postoperative rendezvous ERCP is a safe, effective and feasible alternative to intraoperative rendezvous ERCP in the management of CBDS.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Data were retrieved from the Swedish registry for cholecystectomy and ERCP (GallRiks) 2006\u20132016. All cholecystectomies, where CBDS were found at intraoperative cholangiography, and with complete 30-day follow-up (n\u2009=\u200910,386) were identified. Data concerning intraoperative and postoperative complications, readmission and reoperation within 30\u00a0days were retrieved for patients where intraoperative ERCP (n\u2009=\u20092290) and preparation for postoperative ERCP were performed (n\u2009=\u20092283).<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Intraoperative ERCP increased (7.5% 2006; 43.1% 2016) whereas preparation for postoperative ERCP decreased (21.2% 2006; 17.2% 2016) during 2006\u20132016. CBDS management differed between TRHs and CHs. Complications were higher in the postoperative rendezvous ERCP group: Odds Ratio [OR] 1.69 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.16\u20132.45) for intraoperative complications and OR 1.50 (CI 1.29\u20131.75) for postoperative complications. Intraoperative bleeding OR 2.46 (CI 1.17\u20135.16), postoperative bile leakage OR 1.89 (CI 1.23\u20132.90) and postoperative infection with abscess OR 1.55 (CI 1.05\u20132.29) were higher in the postoperative group. Neither post-ERCP pancreatitis, postoperative bleeding, cholangitis, percutaneous drainage, antibiotic treatment, ICU stay, readmission\/reoperation within 30\u00a0days nor 30-day mortality differed between groups.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Techniques for management of CBDS found at cholecystectomy have changed over time and differ between TRH and CH.
