In the setting of a potentially difficult cholecystectomy, an open approach should at least be considered from the very beginning, especially in the absence of an experienced laparoscopist, or when the primary surgeon is more experienced or comfortable with open interventions. On the other hand, ...
Here, we show that the otherwise exclusively intracellular localized 6TM-MOR translocates to the plasma membrane upon coexpression with β2-adrenergic receptors (β2-ARs) through an interaction with the fifth and sixth helices of β2-AR. Coexpression of the two receptors in BE(2)-C ...

Routine IOC is a specific diagnostic tool with good negative predictive value. It is useful to exclude the presence of CBD stones when LFT is normal. It does not significantly prolong the length of hospitalization or duration of the cholecystectomy hence reducing the incidence of u...
IOC was done for the four cases revealed that two cases (10%) had no common bile duct (CBD) stones, the other two cases (10%) had a small stone in CBD, so CBD stone extraction was done through transcystic CBD exploration with IOC, the CBD diameter was within ...
CHOLECYSTECTOMYBILIRUBINBackground: There is controversy about whether intraoperative cholangiogram (IOC) should be performed routinely during laparoscopic cholecystectomy for patients with acute biliary pancreatitis, given significant false positive and negative rates and increased resource utilizati...
In the past quite a long time, intraoperative cholangiography(IOC)was necessary during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). Now magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) is the main method for diagnosing common bile duct stones (CBDS). Whether MRCP can replace IOC a...
Introduction Intraoperative cholangiography (IOC) during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is valuable in the detection of biliary abnormalities. In this study, we aimed to investigate the diagnostic accuracy of IOC during LC for the detection of anatomic variations of the biliary system, as...
Background: There are a variety of approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of common bile duct (CBD) stones in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC).Methods: Decision modeling was used to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of four strategies for managing CBD stones around...
