The data of 166 patients that underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy between November 1989 and December 1997 are given. In all cases intraoperative ERC and extraction of bile duct stones within the laparoscopic surgery were performed. The results show that by intraoperative simultaneous ERC bile duct stones can be removed with a success rate of 98.8% and a mortality rate of 0%. Intraoperative ERC is a secure and economic kind of treatment, especially the patient profits from this minimal invasive procedure.

Hepatic fibroblasts comprise groups of stromal cells in the liver that are phenotypically distinct from hepatic stellate cells. However, their physiology is poorly understood. By single-cell RNA sequencing, we identified Cd34 and Dpt as hepatic fibroblast-specific genes.

Biliary duct reconstruction is one of the most challenging parts of liver transplantation and accounts for 40%-60% of complications. While current stent-based devices on the market show promising results in reducing complications, they are manufactured from permanent synthetic materials and require a second reintervention for their removal. This exposes the patients to other potential complications and increases healthcare costs.

Background And Purpose: Genetic ablation or inhibition of the cation channel TRPC6 is protective against renal, cardiac and intestinal fibrosis. However, TRPC6 expression is decreased in patients with liver diseases. Here, we explored the role of TRPC6 in liver fibrosis and the underlying mechanism.

Bile duct brush cytology is a widely used and essential method for evaluating biliary tract lesions, although it remains challenging for pathologists. Liquid-based preparations provide a better vision of morphology and enable the preparation of cell blocks, thereby enhancing reliability. However, the establishment of reproducible interpretation criteria and utilization of cell blocks remain limited.

Intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct (IPNB) is a precursor lesion to biliary tract carcinoma. It is characterised by papillary growth within the bile ducts. The diagnosis and management of IPNB are challenging due to its varying presentations and overlapping features with other biliary diseases.
