Summary

This study looked at 360 patients who had surgery to remove gallstones from the bile duct. Doctors compared two methods of closing the bile duct after surgery: the usual interrupted stitches and a faster continuous stitch. The goal was to see if the faster method saved time without increasing risks like bile leaks. Results will help surgeons choose the best technique.
