Seldinger method for intraoperative cholangiography: a practical approach

Intraoperative cholangiography still a current investigation

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the standard treatment for patients requiring gallbladder removal. Although the advantages of the laparoscopic technique are widely accepted, the introduction of this technique has doubled the rate of iatrogenic lesions of extrahepatic bile ducts. Research methods for biliary tree also evolved, but intraoperative cholangiography, the traditional exploring method ...

Intraoperative three-dimensional fluoroscopic cholangiography.

Precise intraoperative assessment of the architecture of the biliary tree could reduce lesions to intra- or extrahepatic bile ducts. The aim of this study was to test feasibility of intraoperative three-dimensional imaging during liver resections. Isocentric C-arm fluoroscopy acquires three-dimensional images during a 190 degrees orbital rotation. The bile ducts were displayed three-dimensional...

Is there a Role for Preoperative Infusion or Intraoperative Cholangiography?

Results of cholecystectomy without intraoperative cholangiography.

BACKGROUND To determine if cholecystectomy can be performed satisfactorily without the use of adjunctive intraoperative cholangiography (IOC), we planned a retrospective analysis at a Canadian university teaching hospital. METHODS General operative morbidity and mortality (in particular, occurrences and complications of missed choledocholithiasis and reoperations for same, and occurrences of ...
