INDURG TRIAL Protocol: A Randomized Controlled Trial Using Indocyanine Green during Cholecystectomy in Acute Cholecystitis.

Introduction: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is one of the most common gastrointestinal surgeries, and bile duct injury is one of its main complications. The use of real-time indocyanine green fluorescence cholangiography allows the identification of extrahepatic biliary structures, facilitating the procedure and reducing the risk of bile duct lesions. A better visualization of the bile duct may help to reduce the need for conversion to open surgery, and may also shorten operating time.

Is percutaneous cholecystostomy safe and effective in acute cholecystitis? Analysis of adverse effects associated with the technique.

Introduction: The main objective of our study is to assess the safety and efficacy of percutaneous cholecystostomy for the treatment of acute cholecystitis, determining the incidence of adverse effects in patients undergoing this procedure.

Material And Method: Observational study with consecutive inclusion of all patients diagnosed with acute cholecystitis for 10 years. The main variable studied was morbidity (adverse effects) collected prospectively.

Early discharge in Mild Acute Pancreatitis. Is it possible? Observational prospective study in a tertiary-level hospital.

Background And Aims: In acute pancreatitis (AP), first 24 h are crucial as this is the period in which the greatest amount of patients presents an organ failure. This suggests patients with Mild AP (MAP) could be early identified and discharged. This is an observational prospective trial with the aim to demonstrate the safety of early discharge in Mild Acute Pancreatitis (MAP).

promoter is frequently methylated in pancreatic juice of patients with pancreatic carcinomas or periampullary tumors.

Early detection of pancreatic and periampullary neoplasms is critical to improve their clinical outcome. The present authors previously demonstrated that DNA hypermethylation of and promoters is frequently detected in pancreatic tumor cells. The aim of the present study was to assess their prevalence in pancreatic juice of carcinomas of the pancreas and periampullary area.

Influence of delayed cholecystectomy after acute gallstone pancreatitis on recurrence. Consequences of lack of resources.

Introduction: Acute pancreatitis is often a relapsing condition, particularly when its triggering factor persists. Our goal is to determine the recurrence rate of acute biliary pancreatitis after an initial episode, and the time to relapse, as well as to identify the risk factors for recurrence.

Material And Method: We included all patients admitted for a first acute gallstone pancreatitis event during four years.

Solitary fibrous tumor of the liver. Case report and review of the literature.

Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a rare mesenchymal tumor. Given its origin, it can appear in almost any location. In the literature, only 50 cases of SFT in the liver parenchyma have been reported.

[Bile duct cysts in adults: surgical procedure].

Objective: The reported prevalence rate of bile duct cysts is very low. However, the clinical presentation of bile duct cysts is common to other hepatobiliary diseases. In this article, we report on a series of patients who have been surgically treated over the last 15 years.
