Newest firstPurposes Chronic pancreatitis (CP), a progressive inflammatory disorder characterized by pancreatic fibrosis and degeneration, often leads to common bile duct (CBD) strictures. However, the optimal management of CBD strictures remains controversial. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 16 patients with CP and CBD strictures who underwent surgery at our institution between January 2007 and December 2024. Clinical ch…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background Unlike criminal defense with its cab-rank duty, surgeons are constrained by nonmaleficence. This review examines when declining aesthetic surgery requests constitutes ethical care rather than prejudice.

Open article record in new tab ↗Robot-assisted surgery is increasingly being utilized for congenital biliary dilatation (CBD); however, limited data exist on its feasibility across age groups, particularly for bile ductoplasty and intrapancreatic bile duct (IPBD) resection. This was a retrospective cohort study that compared the outcomes of robot-assisted versus laparoscopic CBD surgery in 159 patients (Rob group: 57; Lap group: 102) treated bet…
Background Extrahepatic biliary duct injury (BDI) remains a complicated issue for surgeons. Although several approaches have been explored to address this problem, the high incidence of complications affects postoperative recovery. As a nonimmunogenic scaffold, an animal-derived artificial bile duct (ada-BD) could replace the defect, providing good physiological conditions for the regeneration of autologous bile d…
