Newest firstBackground Over the past 20 years, one-stage laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) combined with laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) has gained wide acceptance for the management of cholecystocholedocholithiasis (CCL). Despite this, the two-stage endo-laparoscopic approach, consisting of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) followed by LC, remains the most commonly used strategy. This st…
Open article record in new tab ↗Laparoscopic duodenum-preserving pancreatic head resection (LDPPHR) has been widely reported. However, due to the challenges involved in performing total pancreatic head resection during operation, there are few studies reporting it. Between November 2016 and October 2022, we performed laparoscopic duodenum-preserving total pancreatic head resection (LDPPHRt) on 64 patients in the Department of Hepatobiliary Surge…
Purpose We evaluated the impact of preoperative magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) on patient outcomes, and found which patients should be considered for MRCP before cholecystectomy. Methods We performed retrospective analysis of 2,072 patients that underwent cholecystectomy for benign gallbladder disease from January 2014 to June 2017. Patients were grouped as CT only group (n = 737) and MRCP grou…
Open article record in new tab ↗Introduction Although formerly considered a rarity, biliary endoclip-related complications are being diagnosed with increasing frequencies. Among these, migration of endoclip into the common bile duct (CBD) is a rare encounter that usually presents in the first two years after surgery. Presentation of case This case demonstrates a late biliary endoclip migration after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Discussion An 82…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background A history of abdominal biliary tract surgery has been identified as a relative contraindication for laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE), and there are very few reports about laparoscopic procedures in patients with a history of abdominal biliary tract surgery. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the clinical outcomes of 227 consecutive patients with previous abdominal biliary tract operati…
We encountered a 73-year-old patient who presented with right upper abdominal pain and jaundice. On evaluation, he was found to have cholelithiasis with choledocholithiasis. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiography was attempted, but during the procedure, the wire snapped and the dormia basket got retained in the common bile duct (CBD). Laparoscopic CBD exploration was performed and the basket with calculus was found…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background Herein we present our experience with laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) in managing common bile duct stones. Methods Data of 129 consecutive patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) and LCBDE done at our institutes from April 2011 through June 2016 were prospectively recorded and retrospectively reviewed. Results Since 2011, 3012 laparoscopic cholecystectomy were performe…
