Newest firstBackground 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…
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…
Background The genesis of the "complex type" classification of pancreaticobiliary maljunction (PBM) is unclear, and the pancreaticobiliary anatomy is also varied according to each case. We encountered a patient with PBM and incomplete pancreatic divisum (PD). We herein discussed about the embryological etiology of pancreaticobiliary system predicted from PBM with incomplete PD. Case presentation A 67-year-old man…
Open article record in new tab ↗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 ↗Background/aims Diffuse or segmental irregular narrowing of the main pancreatic duct (MPD), as observed by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), is a characteristic feature of autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP). Methods ERCP findings were retrospectively examined in 40 patients with AIP in whom irregular narrowing of the MPD was detected near the orifice. The MPD opening sign was defined as the MPD wit…
