    Abstract: Objective To compare the efficacy of dual-frequency dual-pulse laser lithotripsy under endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and traditional endoscopic mechanical lithotripsy in the treatment of patients with common bile duct stones, and summarize perioperative nursing measures. Methods From May 2018 to May 2022, the clinical data of 200 patients with common bile duct stones who underwent ERCP treatment and lithotripsy were retrospectively analyzed, of which 69 patients were treated with dual-frequency dual-pulse laser lithotripsy (Laser group) and 131 patients were treated with mechanical lithotripsy (Mechanical group), and the success rate of stone extraction, operation time, postoperative hospital stay time and complications of two groups of patients were compared. Results There was no significant difference in baseline data such as general conditions and preoperative clinical data between two groups (P>0.05). Neither neither Laser group nor Mechanical group had reported the perioperative death case. There were no significant difference in postoperative bleeding, postoperative pancreatitis and perforation complication rates in the two groups (P>0.05). The surgical time in the Laser group was significantly longer than that in the Mechanical group (P<0.05). The postoperative hospital stay was shorter in the Laser group than that in the Mechanical group(P<0.05), and the total complication rate and stone residue rate were lower in the Laser group than those in the Mechanical group (P<0.05). Conclusion The treatment of common bile duct stones by dual-frequency dual-pulse laser lithotripsy has better efficacy and lower complication rate than traditional surgical mechanical lithotripsy, but there is still room for improvement in the operation time.
