First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at 237 patients who had a single surgery to remove both their gallbladder and any gallstones stuck in the bile duct. Researchers wanted to see if the COVID-19 pandemic changed how safe or effective this procedure was. They found that the surgery remained a good option before, during, and after the pandemic.
