Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has emerged as a gold standard therapeutic option for the management of symptomatic cholelithiasis. However, adaptation of LC is associated with increased risk of complications, particularly bile duct injury ranging from 0.3 to 0.6%. Occurrence of BDI results in difficult reconstruction, prolonged hospitalization, and high risk of long-term complications. Therefore,...

Spontaneous perforation of the bile duct without traumatic or iatrogenic injury is extremely rare. It is very difficult to diagnose, before surgical exploration (1). We report a case of abscess formation related to spontaneous perforation of the common bile duct (CBD) by gallstones, which presented as a choledochal cyst on computed tomography (CT). A diagnosis of spontaneous CBD perforation and...

Extra-hepatic bile duct injury from blunt abdominal trauma is uncommon. Complete traumatic transection of the common bile duct (CBD) with subsequent complication of a choledochoduodenal fistula is extremely rare and only a handful of reports are found in the medical literature. We describe a 20-year-old male patient who presented with a complete transection of the CBD following blunt abdominal ...

BACKGROUND The widespread application of laparoscopic cholecystectomy has led to a rise in the numbers of major bile duct injuries (BDI). Perioperative management of these injuries is complex and challenging. There are few published reports locally regarding the perioperative management of BDI. Purpose of this review was to analyze our experience in diagnosis, management and prevention of BDI. ...

BACKGROUND The standard model for research in cholestasis is the total ligation of the bile duct (tBDL). Because this model causes severe hepatic injury in mice, we developed a novel model of cholestasis using a partial bile duct ligation (pBDL) and evaluate different mechanisms of injury. METHODS Male C57Bl/6 mice were subjected to sham operation, tBDL, or pBDL. Blood from tail veins was tak...

carcinoid tumors of the bile duct are rare. despite cholangiocarcinoma, they grow more slowly and generally occur in younger patients and females. these tumors have a better prognosis and more disease-free survival. we present the case of a 25-year- old male with common bile duct (cbd) carcinoid tumor misdiagnosed as cholangiocarcinoma.

introduction: given the importance of identifying common bile duct diameter in diseases diagnoses and being different in different races, this paper aimed to investigate the relationship between the diameter of the common bile duct and demographic factors and drug addiction in patients who referred to the imaging department of imam reza hospital in birjand during the year 1391-1392. methods: th...

Abstract ​ Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is one of the most frequently performed surgical procedures worldwide. Iatrogenic bile duct injury (IBDI) a serious complication LC and has an incidence 0.3 to 0.7%. Since it associated with significant potentially lifelong morbidity as well mortality, diagnosing IBDI early possible paramount importance. Management injuries prognosis their repair dep...

Backgrounds/Aims Postcholecystectomy syndrome represents a heterogeneous group of symptoms and findings in patients who have previously undergone cholecystectomy. It is rare and under-reported in Saudi Arabia. It can be attributed to many complications such as bile duct injury, biliary leak, retained common bile duct stones, recurrent bile duct stones, and bile duct strictures. In this study, w...

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) has been recently adapted to acute cholecystitis. Major bile duct injury during LC, especially Strasberg-Bismuth classification type E, can be a critical problem sometimes requiring hepatectomy. Safety and definitive treatment without further morbidities, such as posthepatectomy liver failure, is required. Here, we report a case of severe bile duct injury treat...
