Newest firstBackground Resection of the extrahepatic bile duct including the gallbladder and the dilated segment, is a widely accepted surgical concept in congenital biliary dilatation (CBD) in both adult and pediatric surgeons. However, owing to the existence of various types of CBD and differences in the extent of dilatation, no consensus has been reached regarding the appropriate resection margins. Methods Consensus statem…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background Duplication of the common bile duct (CBD) is extremely rare among the anatomical variations in the biliary tract system, which presents a septum within the CBD or an accessory CBD. In our study, we report a rare case of duplication of the common bile duct combined congenital biliary dilatation.we present a rare case of a septum in the dilated biliary tract. Case presentation We reported a 5-year-old Asi…
Background The dose and dosing time of indocyanine green (ICG) vary among fluorescence cholangiography (FC) studies. The purpose of this prospective, randomized, exploratory clinical trial was to optimize the dose and dosing time of ICG. Methods PubMed was searched to determine the optimal dose. To optimize the dosing time of ICG, a clinical trial was designed with two parts. The first part included patients with…
Background Rouviere's sulcus is a 2-5 cm fissure on the liver between the right lobe and caudate process. The benefit of finding the Rouviere's sulcus during laparoscopic cholecystectomy is supported by the fact that the cystic duct and artery lay anterosuperior to the sulcus, and the common bile duct (CBD) lays below the level of the Rouviere's sulcus. Hence, it can serve as an extrabiliary anatomical reference p…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background Extrahepatic biliary duct injury (BDI) remains a complicated issue for surgeons. Although several approaches have been explored to address this problem, the high incidence of complications affects postoperative recovery. As a nonimmunogenic scaffold, an animal-derived artificial bile duct (ada-BD) could replace the defect, providing good physiological conditions for the regeneration of autologous bile d…
Background The genesis of the "complex type" classification of pancreaticobiliary maljunction (PBM) is unclear, and the pancreaticobiliary anatomy is also varied according to each case. We encountered a patient with PBM and incomplete pancreatic divisum (PD). We herein discussed about the embryological etiology of pancreaticobiliary system predicted from PBM with incomplete PD. Case presentation A 67-year-old man…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background Synchronous malignancies of the gall bladder and common bile duct are a rare entity. Much of our knowledge on this topic comes from Japanese literature. Most of the synchronous carcinomas described in Japanese literature are associated with the presence of an anomalous pancreatic-bile duct junction (APBDJ). Case presentation We report a case of synchronous malignancy of the extrahepatic biliary tree inv…
Open article record in new tab ↗Objective To describe the technical feasibility and usefulness of extrahepatic biliary stone removal by balloon sphincteroplasty and occlusion balloon pushing. Materials and methods Fifteen patients with extrahepatic bile duct stones were included in this study. Endoscopic stone removal was not successful in 13 patients, and two patients refused the procedure due to endoscopy phobia. At first, all patients underwe…
