Newest firstPancreatectomy for pancreatic metastases (PM) yields acceptable survival outcomes in selected renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients. We describe a technique for robotic subtotal left pancreatectomy with preservation of the common bile duct (CBD) and spleen in a patient with multifocal RCC-PM. The patient, who had RCC and underwent nephrectomy 20 years ago, presented with a pancreatic mass. Computed tomography and en…
Open article record in new tab ↗At present, the optimal treatment for common bile duct (CBD) stones combined with gallstones is still controversial. The two most widely accepted techniques are one-stage laparoscopic CBD exploration plus laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) and two-stage preoperative endoscopic sphincterotomy plus LC. Considering that all current evidence comes from nonrandomized controlled trials, multicenter randomized controlled…
Open article record in new tab ↗Purpose This study was performed to compare the safety and efficacy of one-stage laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) plus laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) with those of endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) plus LC for concomitant gallbladder (GB) and common bile duct (CBD) stones in elderly patients. Methods This single-center retrospective study reviewed the medical records of patients aged >80 years wh…
Open article record in new tab ↗Choledocholithiasis and cholecystitis are among the most common surgical conditions in the hepato-pancreato-biliary section. The recurrence of common bile duct (CBD) stones is considered an unsolved problem after cholecystectomy. In the setting of recurrent CBD stones, the management approach is regular follow-up after surgery in patients with the risk factors of recurrence. Many contributing factors also predispo…
Open article record in new tab ↗Purpose The purpose of this study was to investigate the recurrence factors of choledocholithiasis after common bile duct (CBD) exploration. Methods From January 2000 to December 2018, we retrospectively reviewed 253 patients who underwent CBD exploration surgery. We excluded 100 cases who had residual stone, combined major surgery, or follow-up loss after surgery. Total of 153 patients were included, and we inves…
