While traditionally managed with a two-stage surgical approach, recent reports suggest that one-stage, minimally invasive approaches may be feasible. We present the case of a 13-month-old female who developed bile duct perforation associated with a protein plug in the common channel. Following the correction of coagulopat…
Open article record in new tab ↗Robot-assisted surgery is increasingly being utilized for congenital biliary dilatation (CBD); however, limited data exist on its feasibility across age groups, particularly for bile ductoplasty and intrapancreatic bile duct (IPBD) resection. This was a retrospective cohort study that compared the outcomes of robot-assisted versus laparoscopic CBD surgery in 159 patients (Rob group: 57; Lap group: 102) treated bet…
Background The purpose of this study was to evaluate the utility of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in pediatric patients with pancreaticobiliary diseases. Methods A retrospective review was performed on patients who underwent ERCP for the treatment of biliary tract disease and detailed examination of pancreatitis at our institution from January 1999 to December 2020. Results ERCP was perform…
