Newest firstAim and background The pancreaticobiliary junction (PBJ) is a complex anatomical location where the pancreatic duct and distal common bile duct (CBD) join. Surgical procedures near the PBJ are challenging, and inadvertent injury to either of these ducts can increase postoperative morbidity. Choledochal cyst (CDC) excision involves securing the distal bile duct near the PBJ. The surgical morbidity in these patients…

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…
Despite improvements in surgical techniques and perioperative management, postoperative pancreatic fistula (PF) is often difficult to treat and can be fatal due to various complications without effective drainage. Here, we report a case of PF following surgery for congenital biliary dilatation (CBD) successfully managed by endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided transduodenal drainage. A 55-year-old woman underwent ext…
