Elastography for Evaluation of Regression in Liver Fibrosis After Surgical Biliary Drainage for Benign Biliary Strictures: A Practical Possibility?

Background: Hepatic fibrosis and secondary biliary cirrhosis are consequences of long-standing benign biliary strictures. Evidence on the reversibility of fibrosis after the repair is incongruous.

Methodology: A prospective observational study on patients who underwent Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy for benign biliary stricture.

Management and outcomes of pseudoaneurysms presenting with late hemorrhage following pancreatic surgery: A six-year experience from a tertiary care center.

Background/purpose: Late hemorrhage following pancreatic surgery is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Pseudoaneurysm (PSA) is an important source of late hemorrhage, which is effectively and safely managed by embolization. We aim to retrospectively review the outcomes of embolization for pseudoaneurysms causing late post-pancreatectomy hemorrhage over a period of six-years at our tertiary care center.

Inhibitor development in mild haemophilia after a major surgery for periampullary cancer (Whipple's procedure) in an elderly man.

Around the world, with the availability of factor concentrates, patients with haemophilia have undergone major and minor surgeries. Inhibitor development in early postoperative period leading to inadequate factor recovery and ongoing bleeding is a nightmare for both operating surgeon as well as haematologists. We describe a case of an elderly man with mild haemophilia A, who was diagnosed with pancreatic carcinoma and underwent Whipple's procedure.

Incidental peritoneal tuberculosis: surgeon's dilemma in endemic regions.

Background: Peritoneal tuberculosis has varying clinical manifestations. The study was conducted to highlight the entity of incidental peritoneal tuberculosis. Diagnostic and therapeutic dilemma is likely to occur on detection of unexpected peritoneal nodules.

Surgery for Abdominal Tuberculosis in the Present Era: Experience from a Tertiary-Care Center.

Background: The role of surgery in abdominal tuberculosis is being redefined, as many patients will be candidates for endoscopic dilatation rather than open surgery.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was done of the surgical procedures performed in patients with abdominal tuberculosis in a large tertiary-care center in North India. Details such as clinical presentations, previous history of tuberculosis, any anti-tubercular therapy (ATT), Mantoux skin test results, and the surgical procedures and findings were recorded.

Gallbladder tuberculosis camouflaging as gallbladder cancer - case series and review focussing on treatment.

Introduction: Gallbladder tuberculosis, in an endemic region, is a common infectious etiology affecting a rare organ. The high prevalence of carcinoma gallbladder in the endemic regions of tuberculosis, like India, poses diagnostic dilemma.

Case Series: We are reporting three cases of gallbladder tuberculosis mimicking carcinoma gallbladder of which the first two cases were operated with a presumptive diagnosis of malignancy.

Tuberculosis of Gal-Blader Mimicking Malignancy - A Case Report.

A correct preoperative diagnosis of gall-bladder tuberculosis is exceptionally unusual in the absence of pathognomic features both on clinical presentation and on imaging. Herein we present a case of 50 year female who was operated with a provisional diagnosis of gall-bladder malignancy and was found to have tuberculosis of gall-bladder on histopathology.
