Cholecystostomy in the High Risk Patient with Biliary Tract Disease

Risk and Surveillance of Cancers in Primary Biliary Tract Disease

Primary biliary diseases have been associated in several studies with various malignancies. Understanding the risk and optimizing surveillance strategy of these malignancies in this specific subset of patients are an important facet of clinical care. For instance, primary sclerosing cholangitis is associated with an increased risk for cholangiocarcinoma (which is very challenging to diagnose) a...

Management of Biloma due to Biliary Tract Injury after Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy in a patient with Atypical Anatomy: A Case Report

  Introduction: Biliary tract injury is a major complication of laparoscopic cholecystectomywhich can be very challenging. But, the important part is to know the accurate anatomy of the ducts and site of the injury before any surgical attempt for ligation or repair. In this case a disaster might happ...

Clinical compare between ultrasound-guided double tract percutaneous cholecystostomy combined with a choledochoscope for performing cholecystolithotomies and laparoscopic-choledochoscopy-assisted cholecystolithotomy after cholecystostomy in high-risk surgical patients

Background and Aims: We compared the clinical outcomes between double tract cholecystostomy combined with choledochoscope for cholecystolithotomy and laparoscopic-choledochoscopy-assisted removal of cholecystolithotomy (LRCL) after cholecystostomy in high risk patient. Methods: 19 cases of cholecystolithotomy and 20 cases of LRCL were collected in Chengdu Military General Hospital from January ...

Biliary tract excretion of cefazolin, cephalothin, and cephaloridine in the presence of biliary tract disease.

The biliary tract excretion of three cephalosporins, cefazolin, cephaloridine, and cephalothin, was compared in patients with biliary tract disease. In the absence of obstruction, mean antibiotic levels in bile from gall bladder and common duct in patients undergoing cholecystectomy were highest for cefazolin (17 and 31 mug/ml, respectively) than either cephaloridine (7 and 9 mug/ml) or cephalo...
