Newest firstObjective The study is an attempt to assess the feasibility of laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) in patients with multiple common bile duct (CBD) stones. Methods A prospective observational study was conducted over 1 year (2017-2018). Patients with gallbladder in situ, bile duct stones (>1), and a dilated duct (>7 mm) were included. CBS stones and duct size were confirmed by ultrasound, computed to…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background Obstructive jaundice is a common health challenge in daily clinical practice caused by a heterogeneous group of benign and malignant conditions in or around extrahepatic bile ducts. This study aimed to investigate the causes of obstructive jaundice, analyze the age and sex distribution, and report the locations of obstruction. Methods This was a retrospective study of electronic records of patients diag…
Obstructive jaundice occurs when an obstruction in the bile duct system prevents bile from flowing from the liver into the intestine, accumulating bilirubin in the blood. This condition can result from various causes, including gallstones, tumors, or inflammation of the bile ducts. The management of obstructive jaundice depends on the underlying cause (malignant obstructions such as cholangiocarcinoma or pancreati…
Biliary cystadenoma (also called mucinous cystic neoplasm with low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia) is a rare cystic tumor that arises from the biliary epithelium. The cause of biliary cystadenoma is still unclear. Jaundice is a rare presentation of intrahepatic biliary cystadenoma, which can lead to a diagnostic dilemma. Herein, we present a case of intrahepatic biliary cystadenoma that primarily exhibited as jau…
Open article record in new tab ↗Aim Intraductal ultrasonography (IDUS) is a highly sensitive and non-invasive detective method that can be used to detect complete calculus clearance during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). In this study, we examined the preferable timing of IDUS during ERCP lithotomy. Methods From 2017 to 2020, patients with choledocholithiasis were randomized into IDUS-BL (IDUS performed before lithotomy) g…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is one of the most frequently performed procedures for the treatment of biliary-pancreatic diseases. The most frequent complications of ERCP include pancreatitis, haemorrhage, perforation and cholangitis. While post-ERCP biliary bleeding leading to biliary obstruction is rare. Case presentation We herein report a case of exceptional post-ERCP cholang…
Background The incidence of extrahepatic bile duct malignancies is about 2-3.6% of all gastrointestinal malignancies. Primary carcinoma of cystic duct is a rare condition comprising a fraction of all extrahepatic bile duct malignancies with less than 70 cases reported worldwide. Majority of these cases were reported from East Asia. There is paucity in such case being reported from Indian subcontinent. We present a…
Open article record in new tab ↗Rupture of hydatid liver cyst into biliary tree is frequent complications that involve the common hepatic duct, lobar biliary branches, the small intrahepatic bile ducts,but rarely rupture into common bile duct. The rupture of hydatid cyst is serious life threating event. The authors are reporting a case of total rupture of hydatid cyst of liver into common bile duct. A 50-year-old male patient who presented with…
