A study investigated the impact of simulator-based training on laparoscopic cholecystectomy with common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) utilization and patient outcomes. After implementing training, LCBDE utilization increased significantly. Patients treated with LCBDE experienced shorter hospital stays without significant differences in readmission rates or post-procedure complications. In comparison to alternative strategies, LCBDE proved safe and efficient, making the case for broader implementation to optimize healthcare for patients with gallbladder stones.
