This study demonstrated significant dilation occurring in the common bile duct diameter after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Furthermore, our remote LC group also supported that claim by showing significant dilation between the first and second post-cholecystectomy CBD diameter values. And lastly, our interval LCBDE sample's initial dilation of the CBD diameters was reduced after surgery and stone extraction.
