Objective To compare the clinical outcomes of laparoscopic magnetic compression cholangiojejunostomy (LMCCJ) with laparoscopic hand-sutured cholangiojejunostomy (LHSCJ). Methods A retrospective case-control study was performed. From January 2019 to May 2022, 37 patients, who underwent laparoscopic treatment in this hospital, were enrolled in this study. There were 16 cases in the LMCCJ group and 21 cases in the LHSCJ group. The demographic information, procedure time to complete bilioenteric reconstruction, postoperative hospital stay, operative complications, magnets expulsion time, and follow-up results were collected and analyzed. Results There were no statistical differences in the baseline data such as the gender, age, composition of primary diseases, preoperative total bilirubin, and preoperative common bile duct diameter between the two groups (P>0.05). The outer diameter of the magnets was (10.50±0.97) mm, the expulsion time of the magnets was (49.69±37.58) d, and the expulsion rate of the magnets was 100% (16/16). There was no intestinal obstruction or gastrointestinal perforation caused by the retention of the magnets. The procedure time to complete bilioenteric reconstruction in the LMCCJ group was statistically shorter than that in the LHSCJ group [(11.31±3.40) min vs. (24.81±3.40) min, t=11.96, P<0.01]. There was no statistical difference in the total bilirubin level at the first week after surgery between the two groups (U=142.0, P=0.80). The postoperative hospital stay in the LMCCJ group was longer than that in the LHSCJ group [(28.31±14.11) d vs. (16.19±7.56) d, t=3.36, P<0.01]. During the perioperative period, there was no bleeding or biliary infection in the two groups, but one case of biliary leak in the LHSCJ group. In all 37 patients were followed-up for (548.8±259.2) d. During the follow-up period, the incidence rates of biliary intestinal anastomosis stenosis, tumor recurrence, and mortality had no statistical differences between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion From the results of comparative analysis in this study, it can be concluded that LMCCJ is not only safe equally, but also easier and less time-consuming as compared with LHSCJ.
