Introduction And Aims: Currently there is no ideal diagnostic/therapeutic approach for patients with suspected choledocholithiasis. The primary aim of our study was to evaluate the performance of the criteria for predicting choledocholithiasis proposed by the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) in 2019.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective study was conducted that included 352 patients seen at a secondary care public healthcare institution in Monterrey, Nuevo León, that treats an open population and does not have endoscopic ultrasound or magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography at its disposal.

- Non-parasitic splenic cysts (NPSC) are a rare type of benign splenic condition, making up 10% of such cysts, with origins either congenital or post-traumatic.
- A 10-year-old girl presented with abdominal pain, and imaging confirmed a 5cm congenital cyst on her spleen, leading to a laparoscopic partial splenectomy for management.
- The management of NPSCs is debated, but partial splenectomy is considered the most effective method for preserving spleen function and reducing the risk of recurrence.
