Newest firstIntroduction: Common bile duct (CBD) exploration is indicated in symptomatic patients with choledocholithiasis when endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is not feasible or has failed. In selected complex cases, robotic surgery may offer technical advantages over conventional laparoscopy. Material and Methods: A 51-year-old woman presented with biliary colic and ultrasound evidence of choledocholit…
Open article record in new tab ↗Purpose This study aimed to construct and compare machine learning models for predicting recurrent extrahepatic bile duct stones after common bile duct exploration and to clarify the contribution of key risk factors using SHAP analysis, thereby providing a reliable tool for clinical risk assessment and intervention. Methods Retrospective analysis of 1,363 patients (2010-2024, Huangshi Central Hospital/Honghu Peopl…
Open article record in new tab ↗Introduction Cholelithiasis is common following metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS), with gallstones developing in up to one-third of patients due to rapid weight loss and metabolic changes. Procedures such as Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) alter gastrointestinal anatomy, complicating endoscopic access to the biliary tree and presenting challenges in the management of c…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background: Different techniques have been proposed to manage Cholecysto-choledocholithiasis (CCL) advantageously in one stage. Among these, Laparoendoscopic Rendezvous (LERV) addresses the CCL issue with a laparoscopic cholecystectomy, with insertion of a guide wire into the common bile duct through an incision of the cystic duct, followed by the clearance of the bile duct carried out by the endoscopists. The aim…
Background This study investigated the clinical application of the indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence navigation technique in bile duct identification during laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) for complex hepatolithiasis. Methods Eighty patients with complex hepatolithiasis were admitted to our department between January 2022 and June 2023 and randomly divided into control and observation groups.…
Introduction The aim of this study was to assess and evaluate the feasibility of using the Ambu aScope3 (aScope) for common bile duct (CBD) explorations, stone detection and extraction, as well as to assess feasibility of its use through the laparoscopic ports in a low-volume centre. Methods This is a dual centre prospective study, conducted between February 2015 and August 2019, of patients undergoing laparoscopi…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) plus laparoscopic common bile duct (CBD) stones exploration (LCBDE) with LC plus endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) in the treatment of patients with gallstones and CBD stones. Methods The authors searched PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase to identify relevant studies. Risk ratios (RRs) were pooled to com…
