Introduction: The ideal management for colecysto-choledocholithiasis remains controversial. One-stage approach using a laparoendoscopic “Rendez Vous” (LERV) technique could offer some advantages over the two-stage approach, mainly by reducing complications and costs. aim of this study is to describe implementation LERV its perioperative outcomes. Methods: Retrospective study. All patients with ...

The recurrence rate of choledocholithiasis in the general population has been reported to exceed 10%. incidence cholelithiasis was be higher patients following gastrectomy than that population. However, there is no study for recurrent gastrectomy. This aimed evaluate and identify risk factors A retrospective analysis performed on with history who underwent removal Kyungpook National University ...

Choledocholithiasis is a problem of remarkable clinical importance, as demonstrated by its incidence, clinical manifestations, and outcomes with sometimes severe complications; nevertheless, great variabilities still exist in the diagnostic and therapeutic distances 1. 10% of the female population and 6% of the male population are affected by cholelithiasis. We know that the lithiasis of the co...

A 26-year-old female, thirteen months postpartum, presented to the emergency department for four weeks of epigastric abdominal pain, pruritus, new onset jaundice, and 11.3 kgs (25 lbs) unintentional weight loss. On examination, she was afebrile, tachycardic, alert, and oriented and had jaundice with scleral icterus. Labs were significant for undetectable TSH, FT4 that was too high to measure, a...

RATIONALE Obstructive jaundice can raise problems to diagnostic imaging. The radiologist must choose the most appropriate examination that delivers the most important diagnostic information because the differences between a lithiasic obstruction and a tumoral one are vital. This information helps the surgeon speed up the process of decision-making, because the treatment may be very different in...

The management of common bile duct stones has traditionally required open laparotomy and bile duct exploration. With the advent of endoscopic and laparoscopic technology in the latter half of the last century, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and laparoscopic common bile duct exploration has become the mainstream treatment for common bile duct stones in most medical centers around...

A 76-year-old man developed a hemoperitoneum after ERCP for choledocholithiasis. He underwent a laparotomy and splenectomy for a capsular tear at the splenic hilum, a rare complication of ERCP. "Bowing" of the endoscope with torsion on the greater curvature of the stomach may lead to shear forces causing splenic injury.

A 42-year-old woman underwent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for cholangitis due to choledocholithiasis and biliary sphincterotomy with double pigtail biliary stent placement was performed. Four-six hours after the procedure, she developed subcutaneous swelling over the neck with crepitus over it. In the next

Cholecystocolonic fistulas (CCF) due to colonic diverticulosis are a rare cause of liver abscesses. It is even rarer to simultaneously have choledocholithiasis, another cause for liver abscesses. In this case report, we found both pathologies and emphasise the need to study cholangiograms carefully so as not to miss alternative diagnoses.
