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, ...
A COMMON BILE DUCT (CBD) STONE FORMED AROUND A SUTURE MATERIAL AFTER OPEN CHOLECYSTECTOMY: A CASE REPORTdoi:10.1055/s-0040-1704916Labianca, OEsposito, FMartorelli, LPirozzi, FZulli, CMaurano, AEndoscopy
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 ...
The author discusses the effect of routine intraoperative cholangiography (IOC) on bile duct injury (BDI) when performed during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). Topics discussed include diagnosis of common bile duct (CBD) stone, protective effect of IOC in patients with acute cholecystitis, and ...
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...
