All patients successfully underwent ERCP to remove common bile duct stones. One patient had gallbladder perforation during gallbladder-preserving cholecystolithotomy. The guide wire successfully entered the gallbladder, and the transpapillary gallbladder metal-covered stent was successfully placed in 44 patients. The technical success rate was 91.67% (44\/48). All stones were removed in 34 patients, for a clinical success rate of 77.27% (34\/44). The total postoperative complication rate was 6.25% (3\/48), with 2 cases of pancreatitis (4.17%) and 1 case of cholangitis (2.08%). Three patients were lost to follow-up. Among the 31 patients who were followed up for a mean of 27 months (6\u201340), 5 patients (16.13%) experienced gallstone recurrence. The recurrence rates at 12 months, 18 months, 24 months, 30 months and 36 months were 0%, 3.23%, 6.45%, 12.9%, and 16.13%,
