Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates three common techniques for closing the common bile duct after stone removal, focusing on T-tube drainage, primary closure, and biliary stenting.
- The analysis included 211 patients and found that the biliary stenting group had significantly fewer complications, shorter hospital stays, and quicker recovery times compared to the other methods.
- The authors conclude that biliary stenting is the preferred method for closing the common bile duct after exploration, as it offers better outcomes overall.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates complications related to different choledochotomy techniques used during laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) in patients with choledocholithiasis.
- From March 2014 to February 2018, 85 patients underwent LCBDE using three techniques: scalpel/scissor, diathermy hook, and ultrasonic device, with no significant differences in short- or long-term complications among the groups.
- The authors suggest reconsidering the traditional avoidance of energy devices in biliary surgeries but note that more research with a larger sample size is necessary to validate their findings.
Steatotic grafts are more susceptible to ischemia-reperfusion injury than are normal grafts. Therefore, using steatotic grafts for liver transplantation (LT) is associated with high primary dysfunction and decreased survival rates. The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of graft steatosis on post LT outcomes.

Purpose: A prospective and retrospective work to evaluate management of post-cholecystectomy biliary injuries.
Patients And Methods: From March 2000 to February 2010, 419 patients (224 females and 195 males) complaining of post-cholecystectomy biliary injuries were managed using surgery in 135 patients and endoscopy in 317 patients, in addition to percutaneous techniques in 32 patients.
Results: Endoscopy was very successful initial treatment of 317 patients (76%), as being less invasive, with low morbidity and mortality, and being competitive with surgery in treatment of mild/moderate biliary leakage (82%) and biliary stricture (74%).
