Several conditions may cause benign biliary stricture formation. Intraoperative bile duct injury, most often sustained during laparoscopic cholecystectomy, is the leading cause. Although surgical bypass procedure was the traditional treatment of choice for benign extrahepatic biliary strictures, therapeutic endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography has recently come into favor; however, success rates have been variable and largely dependent on the underlying etiology. Because endoscopic therapy may be unsuccessful, a multidisciplinary approach to management, with surgical or radiological intervention if necessary, should be considered.

Background: Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) serves an essential role in treating biliary diseases, especially in choledocholithiasis. However, due to the limited human lifespan, there remains a paucity of clinical investigations on ERCP treatment in patients over 90 years old.
Aim: To explore the effectiveness and safety of ERCP in super-older patients aged ≥ 90 years with choledochal stones.
The bronchopleural fistula (BPF) is a pathological passageway between the bronchus and the pleural cavity. Diagnosing and localising BPF can be challenging, and the traditional retrograde methylene blue (MB) perfusion method may fail to identify multifocal BPFs. This article reports a novel method for locating multifocal BPFs in patients undergoing concurrent empyema debridement.

Hepatic tuberculosis, typically associated with miliary tuberculosis, can occasionally present as localized liver lesions. This case report describes a 77-year-old male presenting with persistent abdominal pain and fever, following an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography for bile duct sludge removal. Subsequent computed tomography revealed focal liver lesions.
