Newest firstBackground Although a 5 mm diameter metal clip is commonly employed for cystic duct (CD) closure, it may sometimes be inadequate due to CD dilation. Various widely used preoperative scoring systems can predict the difficulty of intraoperative manipulations, but these systems do not mention CD closure methods. In this study, we identified several preoperative factors related to these instances. Methodology We selec…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background The aim of this manuscript is to illustrate a new method permitting safe cholecystectomy in terms of complications with respect to the common bile duct (CBD). Methods The core of this new technique is identification of the continuity of the cystic duct with the infundibulum. The cystic duct can be identified between the inner gallbladder wall and inflamed outer wall. Results In the last 2 years, from Ja…
Background and objective In spite of being one of the most common surgical procedures performed in adults, laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is relatively uncommon in the pediatric age group. Most surgeons prefer to dissect the cystic duct using a monopolar electrosurgical hook and occlude it with simple metal clips. Although the safety of using the ultrasonically-activated shears, e.g., harmonic scalpel for disse…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background In human medicine, congenital maljunction of the common bile duct (CBD) and main pancreatic duct (MPD), or pancreatobiliary maljunction (PBM), is a known cause of cholecystitis. Objective Pancreatic enzyme activity in the bile (a diagnostic marker for PBM) of healthy cats was measured to determine normal values and evaluate its relationship with biliary morphology. Animals Fifty-two healthy cats. Method…
Backgrounds/aims Residual gallbladder mucosa left after subtotal/partial cholecystectomy is prone to develop recurrent lithiasis and become symptomatic, which mandates surgical removal. Methods We retrospectively evaluated the patients with residual gallbladder referred to us from January 2011 to December 2017. Based on MRCP we classified calot's anatomy to - type I where cystic duct was seen and type II where ses…
Open article record in new tab ↗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 ↗After endoscopic sphincterotopy (ES) gallbladder motility increases leading to expulsion of crystals and stones. But this is not a universal phenomenon. We evaluated cholangiographic findings in patients emptying their gallbladder after ES for common bile duct (CBD) stones. Cholangiographic features of twenty patients expelling gallbladder calculi after ES were studied. Controls included 20 age and sex matched pat…
