BACKGROUND
Endoscopic sphincterotomy and basket extraction are currently used to remove bile duct stones, with a duct clearance rate of 85% to 90%. A biliary endoprosthesis (stent) is an alternative method to treat difficult cases, especially high-risk surgical patients. The aim of this study was to
OBJECTIVE
Choledocholithiasis is a common complication of cholecystolithiasis, occurring in 15-20% of patients who have gallbladder stones. Endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography is the standard treatment. When this is not possible or not feasible, percutaneous transhepatic stone removal is
To compare the performance of non-contrast MRI with half-Fourier acquisition single-shot turbo spin echo (HASTE) vs. contrast-enhanced MRI/3D-MRCP for assessment of suspected choledocholithiasis in hospitalized patients.
123 contrast-enhanced abdominal MRI/MRCP scans in the hospital setting for
Most infants with repaired gastroschisis develop normally and remain in good health. About 10% of patients with gastroschisis have other malformations. We report a case of choledocholithiasis and intestinal malrotation in an adolescent with repaired gastroschisis. A 17-year-old girl presented with
We herewith describe a case of choledocholithiasis, with large duodenal diverticula, endoscopically treated by the parallel cannulation method alongside the extended percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage (PTGBD) tube. An 81-year-old man was admitted to hospital with complaint of abdominal
A review of the records of 75 consecutive patients with a discharge diagnosis of choledocholithiasis has been conducted. Clinical assessment as well as laboratory assessment of patients who are suspected of having common duct calculi continues to present significant problems in diagnostic accuracy.
We report an extremely rare case of cholelithiasis, presumably owing to cholestasis resulting from an anomalous course of the cystic duct. A 10-year-old girl visited our hospital because of right epigastric pain and fever. Cholelithiasis and choledocholithiasis were diagnosed by ultrasound
A biloma is an encapsulated bile collection outside the biliary tree. Most cases of biloma are caused by iatrogenic injury or trauma. Intrahepatic rupture of the biliary tree due to nontraumatic cause is a rare event. A 68- year-old man was admitted because of abdominal pain and fever. He had no
A 50-year-old male was examined at another hospital for fever, general fatigue and slight abdominal pain. He was treated with antibiotics and observed. However, his symptoms did not lessen, and laboratory tests revealed liver dysfunction, jaundice and an increased inflammatory response. He was then
BACKGROUND
Endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) for removing common bile duct stones is regarded as the safest and most successful method, particularly in patients with a high surgical risk. However, giant immobile stones still continue to present a therapeutic problem.
METHODS
In our 12 patients, when
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) and endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) are widely accepted procedures for cholecysto-choledocholithiasis in adults. However, their use in infants has not been reported. An 8-month-old girl presented with high fever and obstructive jaundice. Ultrasound scan showed acute
Patients with a history of gastrectomy have a higher incidence of cholecystocholedocholithiasis and morbidities. In particular, the management of choledocholithiasis with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) has been challenging in patients after Roux-en-Y or Billroth II
BACKGROUND
The choledocolithiasis has an incidence of 8-20% in patients with cholecystolithiasis. The preoperative diagnosis guides the interventional treatment on the bile duct
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of the laboratory markers and imaging studies for
