Newest firstClip migration into the common bile duct (CBD) represents a rare yet severe complication after laparoscopic biliary surgery. Herein, we report a case of a 75-year-old male patient who previously received simultaneous laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) and laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) with T-tube drainage. The patient was admitted with upper abdominal pain and jaundice. Elevated inflammatory ind…
Open article record in new tab ↗Choledocholithiasis after cholecystectomy is a clinically significant cause of recurrent biliary symptoms and may result from retained stones, recurrent stone formation, or calculi within the cystic duct remnant. Although uncommon, cystic duct stump calculi can present several years after surgery and may be associated with chronic inflammation, adhesions, and, rarely, biliary fistula formation. We report the case…
Open article record in new tab ↗Introduction In emergency surgery for acute obstruction of the common bile duct (CBD), primary duct closure (PC) of the CBD after laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) remains challenging. Aim To explore the safety and effectiveness of this surgical method after LCBDE in patients with acute choledocholithiasis and discuss the feasibility of PC in the CBD. Material and methods This retrospective study o…
Open article record in new tab ↗Objective Biliary duct management is of great significance after laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) combined with laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) in the treatment of cholecystolithiasis accompanied with common bile duct (CBD) stones. This study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of primary closure with C-tube drainage through cystic duct after LC + LCBDE. Methods Through a retrospective s…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background Partial peri-cystectomy (PPC) is one of the major surgical approaches for hepatic cystic echinococcosis (CE) and has been practiced in most centers worldwide. Cysto-biliary communication (fistula, leakage, rupture) is a problematic issue in CE patients. T-tube is a useful technique in situations where an exploration and decompression are needed for common bile duct (CBD). However, postoperative biliary…
Laparoscopic left hemihepatectomy (LLH) followed by biliary tract exploration is used to treat left-sided hepatolithiasis (LSH). The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of 2 methods of biliary tract exploration in LLH:biliary tract exploration through a common bile duct (CBD) incision (with T-tube drainage) or through the left hepatic duct (LHD) stump (without T-tube drainage).LSH patients (113 patie…
