Newest firstBackground Fluorescence cholangiography (FC) with indocyanine green (ICG) enables real-time intraoperative visualization of extrahepatic biliary anatomy during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). There is no consensus on the optimal ICG dose or timing of administration for LC. The goal of this study was to implement a simple intraoperative low-dose ("microdose") ICG protocol that facilitates non-inferior biliary vi…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background Routine use of intraoperative cholangiography (IOC) during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) for detecting common bile duct stones remains controversial. The 2016 World Society of Emergency Surgery (WSES) guidelines on acute calculous cholecystitis proposed a risk stratification for choledocholithiasis. Our present study aimed to (1) examine the findings of common bile duct (CBD) stones in patients unde…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background Each year 13 000 patients undergo cholecystectomy in Sweden, and routine intraoperative cholangiography (IOC) is recommended to minimize bile duct injuries. The risk of requiring endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) following cholecystectomy for common bile duct (CBD) stones where IOC is omitted and in patients with CBD stones left in situ is not well known. Methods Data were retrieved…
Cholecystectomy is the only definitive management of pancreatitis secondary to gallstone disease. Approximately 20% to 30% of patients with acute biliary pancreatitis (ABP) will have persistent common bile duct (CBD) stones. Therefore, choosing a method for the early diagnosis of choledocholithiasis is essential to reduce waiting days for surgery and hospital stay in these patients.The aim of this study was to com…
