Rapid weight loss following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGBP) for the treatment of obesity can increase the incidence of cholelithiasis formation. Nevertheless, routine simultaneous cholecystectomy at the time of bariatric surgery remains controversial. However, in case of delayed occurrence of common bile duct (CBD) stones, the difficulty to reach endoscopically the biliary tract after RYGBP should be kept in mind. We here report the case of a patient who presented with CBD stones seven years after gastric banding followed five years later by RYGBP without associated cholecystectomy. Our approach of transgastric laparoscopic assisted endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreaticography followed by sphincterotomy and balloon stones extraction is illustrated.

Gallbladder duplication is a rare anatomical variation with an incidence of approximately 1 in 3800 to 4000 live births, resulting from aberrant biliary organogenesis. This case report discusses a 35-year-old female who presented with intermittent lower abdominal pain, with initial imaging revealing a complex left adnexal cyst. Follow-up CT and ultrasound examinations revealed 2 distinct gallbladder-like structures in the gallbladder fossa, each with a cystic duct draining into the common bile duct.

Introduction: Periampullary diverticulum (PAD) is frequently discovered in patients undergoing endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Studies have yielded conflicting results regarding its impact on the technical success of ERCP and post-ERCP complications.
Aim: This study aims to assess the success and safety of ERCP in patients with PAD.

Backgrounds/aims: Liver transplantation (LT) is now a critical, life-saving treatment for patients with liver cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma. Despite its significant benefits, biliary complications (BCs) continue to be a major cause of postoperative morbidity. This study evaluates the fluorescence intensity (FI) of the common bile duct (CBD) utilizing near-infrared indocyanine green (ICG) imaging, and examines its association with the incidence of BCs within three months post-LT.
