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 ↗Objective Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) is an emerging method with a wide range of potential uses in gastroenterology, including the detection of bile duct stones and the identification of early ductal alterations in suspected patients. This study was designed to compare the diagnostic yield of EUS and transabdominal ultrasound (TUS) in the detection of gallbladder and common bile duct (CBD) microlithiasis. Met…
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 The incidence of common bile duct (CBD) stones accounts for approximately 10%-15% of all CBD diseases. Approximately 8%-20% of these patients also have gallstones with heterogenous signs and symptoms. Aim To investigate the clinical effects of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) combined with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and LC with CBD excision and stone extraction in one-stage s…
Open article record in new tab ↗Objectives To assess the frequency of choledocolithiasis and the role of preoperative laboratory findings, ultrasound (US) and magnetic resonance cholangio-pancreatography (MRCP) in the detection of choledocolithiasis in patients with gallbladder stones awaiting cholecystectomy. Methods A consecutive sample of 104 patients underwent MRCP prior to cholecystectomy. The patients were classified into different groups…
