Risk factors for the recurrence of stones after endoscopic minimally invasive cholecystolithotomy in China: a meta-analysis

Background The recurrence of stones after endoscopic minimally invasive cholecystolithotomy (EMIC) remains a hazardous problem in patients with cholelithasis. We sought to evaluate the risk factors for recurrence after cholecystolithotomy and to provide a theoretical basis for the indication for cholecystolithotomy.
