Newest firstPurpose This study aims to detect common bile duct (CBD) dilatation using deep learning methods from artificial intelligence algorithms. Methods To create a convolutional neural network (CNN) model, 77 magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) images without CBD dilatation and 70 MRCP images with CBD dilatation were used. The system was developed using coronal maximum intensity projection reformatted 3D-M…
Open article record in new tab ↗Bile duct perforation is a rare, serious complication of congenital biliary dilatation (CBD). While traditionally managed with a two-stage surgical approach, recent reports suggest that one-stage, minimally invasive approaches may be feasible. We present the case of a 13-month-old female who developed bile duct perforation associated with a protein plug in the common channel. Following the correction of coagulopat…
Background Congenital biliary dilatation (CBD) is a rare anomaly often treated surgically, yet postoperative complications remain a concern. This study aimed to evaluate the incidence, timing, and risk factors of such complications after CBD surgery. Methods A retrospective review was conducted on 184 patients with CBD who underwent either open or laparoscopic surgery, with a mean follow-up of 9 years. The analysi…
Background 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…
Background/purpose We evaluated the minimally invasive surgery for congenital biliary dilatation (CBD) in adults and children and analyzed the surgical outcomes, especially in children aged <6 years. Methods Characteristics and surgical outcomes of patients with CBD who underwent minimally invasive surgery at our hospital between 2013 and 2023 were retrospectively reviewed. Results Overall, 129 patients (89 childr…
Background Dilatation of common bile duct (CBD) is mostly pathological and mainly occurs secondary to mechanical causes. We aimed to explore the prevalence of CBD dilatation in Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasms of the pancreas (IPMN) among patients referred to EUS. Methods A retrospective study of all patients who had an EUS diagnosis of IPMN from 2011 to 2019 at Galilee Medical Center were extracted. Contr…
Open article record in new tab ↗Purpose To assess (I) whether, in autopsy-proven lethal intoxications with opiates/opioids, a dilatation of the common bile duct (CBD) is still visible in postmortem computed tomography (PMCT) and (II) if a dilatation of the CBD might also be measurable for other substance groups (e.g., stimulants, hypnotics, antipsychotics, etc.). Methods We retrospectively measured the CBD using PMCT in cases with lethal intoxic…
Rationale Choledocholithiasis in common bile duct (CBD) stump after Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy (RYHJ) is incredibly rare and its pathophysiology is poorly understood. Patient concerns A 79-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with upper abdominal pain radiating through to the back in November 2016. Diagnoses Abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) re…
Open article record in new tab ↗Purpose There are risks of common bile duct (CBD) stones in acute cholecystitis, and there is a move among surgeons to identify choledocholithiasis before surgery. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreaticography (MRCP) has the potential to accurately detect choledocholithiasis in patients with acute cholecystitis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the predictive values of MRCP and elevated biochemical predictors…
Open article record in new tab ↗Objective One of the best known side effects of using opium is spasm of the sphincter of Oddi, which may increase the diameter of the extrahepatic bile ducts. Ultrasound is the first imaging modality used for evaluating the biliary system because it is commonly available and noninvasive. The principal objective of this study was to measure the common bile duct (CBD) diameter via ultrasonography in opium addicts an…
