Summary
This study tested a new way to remove stones from the bile duct during emergency gallbladder surgery. Instead of the usual ERCP procedure, doctors used a balloon to widen the duct opening and clear the stones. 100 adults with bile duct stones took part, and the success was checked with an MRI after surgery. The goal was to see if this balloon method works as well as the standard approach.
