Objective: The widespread use of imaging methods increases the diagnosis and incidence cholelithiasis. In recent years, management patients with cholelithiasis has improved significantly owing to significant advances in surgical endoscopic intervention. Materials Methods: Between February 2015 January 2018, data who underwent ERCP at our institution were collected prospectively analyzed retrosp...

Abstract Background and study aims American Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) European (ESGE) guidelines recommend categorizing patients by risk for choledocholithiasis to determine management. The goal our was compare the accuracy criteria proposed in these guidelines. Patients methods All with suspected at institution were prospectively identified. Based upon initial test results, ...

Purpose of the study : to conduct a comparative analysis endoscopic retrograde transpapillary interventions in patients with chronic opisthorchiasis and obstructive jaundice various etiologies. Material Methods . The results treatment 129 etiologies who underwent correct bile duct, were analyzed. In order assess condition patients, general clinical methods set laboratory instrumental used. was ...

BACKGROUND Diagnosis of choledocholithiasis requires clinical manifestations and imaging examination findings suggesting a stone in the common bile duct (CBD), but these factors are not highly sensitive or specific. The choledocholithiasis management algorithm proposed by the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) may not be appropriate for patients who fulfill the clinical crit...

RATIONALE Choledocholithiasis in common bile duct (CBD) stump after Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy (RYHJ) is incredibly rare and its pathophysiology is poorly understood. PATIENT CONCERNS A 79-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with upper abdominal pain radiating through to the back in November 2016. DIAGNOSES Abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan and magnetic resonance cholangiop...

The role of laparoscopic duct exploration in the management of common bile duct (CBD) stones is unclear. The aim of this study is to audit the current management of choledocholithiasis in our unit and to report on the introduction of laparoscopic management, comparing it with established techniques. Over a 5-year period, 173 patients presented with CBD stones. In 105 (61%) patients, primary man...

BACKGROUND The diagnosis of obstructive jaundice relies on proper history taking, clinical examination, laboratory investigations and different non invasive imaging modalities like Ultrasonography (USG), Cholangio Computed Tomography (CCT), Magnetic resonance Imaging (MRI) with Magnetic Resonance Cholangio Pancreatography (MRCP) and invasive modalities like endoscopic retrograde cholangiography...
