Newest firstIntroduction Cannabis use has been associated with delayed gastric emptying and may worsen symptoms in patients with gastroparesis. However, its impact on postoperative outcomes after surgical treatment remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate postoperative outcomes among patients with and without preoperative cannabis use undergoing surgical intervention for gastroparesis. Methods A retrospective cohort stud…
Open article record in new tab ↗Rationale Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) with endoscopic nasobiliary drainage is the standard treatment for common bile duct (CBD) stones. Post-ERCP abdominal pain is typically linked to complications like pancreatitis, perforation, or cholangitis. However, cases of nonspecific abdominal pain caused by duodenal ulcers induced by the nasobiliary drainage tube after ERCP have not been reported…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background According to a retrospective study at Zhongshan Hospital, external drainage of the main pancreatic duct (MPD) and common bile duct (CBD) is potentially superior over internal drainage. As yet there is no consensus regarding the optimal drainage strategy, and previous studies have not adequately addressed risk stratification for postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF). The aim of this study is to determi…
Background Early endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) with biliary drainage is recommended for acute cholangitis based on disease severity. However, the optimal timing of ERCP remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of urgent ERCP (≤ 24 h) on clinical outcomes in patients with common bile duct (CBD) stone-related acute cholangitis. Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducte…
Background T-tube drainage following laparoscopic common bile duct (CBD) exploration may lead to T-tube displacement and water-electrolyte disorders, affecting patients' quality of life. In particular, biliary peritonitis may develop in a small number of patients after T-tube removal, requiring reoperation. This prospective cohort study was performed to investigate the safety and feasibility of primary closure fol…
Common bile duct (CBD) exploration and T-tube drainage are the main surgical methods for the removal of bile duct stones (BDSs), which can now be completed by laparoscopy. However, the feasibility and safety of primary closure of the CBD (PCCBD) in laparoscopic CBD exploration (LCBDE) without biliary drainage are still uncertain. From January 1, 2021, to June 30, 2022, patients who were diagnosed with BDSs and und…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background The purpose of this retrospective study aimed to assess the accuracy of detection of remnant common bile duct (CBD) stones by injecting saline through endoscopic nasobiliary drainage (ENBD) tubes under transabdominal ultrasound (US) guidance. Method Stone extraction and ENBD are regularly achieved through endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in patients with CBD stones. At 1-3 days ther…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background Partial peri-cystectomy (PPC) is one of the major surgical approaches for hepatic cystic echinococcosis (CE) and has been practiced in most centers worldwide. Cysto-biliary communication (fistula, leakage, rupture) is a problematic issue in CE patients. T-tube is a useful technique in situations where an exploration and decompression are needed for common bile duct (CBD). However, postoperative biliary…
We retrospectively collected PD patients with a performance of bile culture between 2007 and 2019 in our institute. As to bile culture, we used a swab to do intraoperative bile cultures after transection of the CBD. IAA was defined as the documental bacteriological culture from either a turbid discharge from the intraoperatively placed drain in patients with a clinical picture consistent with infection or a postop…
Background Endoscopic retrograde biliary drainage (ERBD) is the treatment of choice for patients with malignant distal common bile duct (CBD) obstruction. Self-expandable metal stents (SEMS), which are commonly used in unresectable cases, have many clinical advantages, including longer stent patency. Although the expected patency of SEMS is around 8 months, it has recently been reported that the duration of SEMS'…
Background/aims Treatment for cholangitis without common bile duct (CBD) stones has not been established in patients with gallstones. We investigated the usefulness of endoscopic biliary drainage (EBD) without endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) in patients diagnosed with gallstones and cholangitis without CBD stones by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and intraductal ultrasonography (IDUS). Metho…
Several studies have shown the safety and feasibility of laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) as a minimally invasive treatment options for choledocholithiasis. Use of T-tube or biliary stent drainage tube placement after laparoscopic choledochotomy for common bile duct (CBD) stones is still under debate. This study tried to confirm the safety of spontaneously removable biliary stent in the distal CBD…
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…
Survival rates for infants and children who have choledochal cyst with or without spontaneous rupture have improved dramatically in the past decades. Despite excellent long-term survival for patients with choledochal cyst who undergo elective surgery, many significant complications can occur in the patients being operated in emergency for rupture of the cyst. Spontaneous rupture of the cyst is one such problem res…
