In patients suffering from acute obstructive CBD stones smaller than 8 mm, compared to the 'ERC-first' approach, the 'ABD-during-ChE' technique resulted in significantly less interventions and reduced overall treatment time from diagnosis to complete clearance of bile ducts and performed ChE. This comes together with a strong trend of less intervention related complications in the 'ABD-during-ChE' group.
