Newest firstBackground Pancreaticobiliary maljunction (PBM) is a congenital disease in which the pancreatic and bile ducts fuse outside the duodenal wall. Congenital biliary dilatation (CBD) involves PBM and dilatation of the extrahepatic bile duct. The lack of Oddi sphincter action at the confluence results in the retrograde flow of pancreatic juice into the bile duct, placing patients with CBD at high risk of biliary carcin…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) and laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) are widely used in gallbladder and biliary tract diseases. During these procedures, vessels or tissues are commonly ligated using clips. However, postoperative migration of clips to the common bile duct (CBD) or T-tube sinus tract is an overlooked complication of laparoscopic biliary surgery. Previously, most reporte…
The management policy of concomitant cholelithiasis and choledocholithiasis is based on a one- or two-stage procedure. It basically includes either laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) with laparoscopic common bile duct (CBD) exploration (LCBDE) in the same operation or LC with preoperative, postoperative and even intraoperative endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography-endoscopic sphincterotomy (ERCP-ES) for st…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background Most of study regarding periampullary diverticulum (PAD) impact on endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) therapy for choledocholithiasis based on data from one endoscopy center and lacked to compare the clinical characteristic of choledocholithiasis with PAD from different geographical patients. Aim To compare the choledocholithiasis clinical characteristics between two regional endoscop…
Stones in the common bile duct (CBD) are reported worldwide, and this condition is majorly managed through endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). CBD stone recurrence is an important issue after endoscopic stone removal. Therefore, it is essential to identify its risk factors to determine the necessity of regular follow-up in patients who underwent endoscopic removal of CBD stones. The authors iden…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is the primary treatment for removing common bile duct (CBD) stones. The risk factors for CBD stone recurrence after ERCP have been discussed for many years. However, the influence of CBD morphology has never been noticed. Aim To evaluate CBD morphology and other predictors affecting CBD stone recurrence in average patients. Methods A retrospective a…
