Objectives: Pancreatic duct leaks can cause ascites, and fluid amylase can be used as a marker to suggest pancreatic duct leak; however, there is no reference parameter or cutoff value for diagnosis. We assessed whether a novel ratio of ascitic fluid to serum amylase can reliably predict pancreatic leaks and need for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).
Materials And Methods: Patients who had fluid amylase from ascitic fluid and serum amylase within one week of confirmed pancreatic leaks via ERCP were included along with appropriate medical and surgical controls.

Objectives: To analyze the efficacy and influencing factors of percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography and biliary drainage (PTCD) in patients with malignant obstructive jaundice (MOJ).
Methods: The study included 151 MOJ patients admitted from January 2021 to January 2024. Seventy patients in the control group received endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), while 81 patients in the research group underwent PTCD.

An aqueous solution of a common food dye, Fast Green FCF (FG), mimics cholyl-lysyl-fluorescein to visualize embryonic bile flow via single peritoneal injection into intrauterine mouse embryos. Despite its efficacy in embryos, its suitability for adult mice and small to medium-sized mammals remained uncertain. In this study, we investigated FG cholangiography in adult mice, dogs, and goats.

Background: Different techniques have been proposed to reduce the incidence of the intraoperative bile duct injury during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). Among these, Near-Infrared Fluorescence Cholangiography (NIFC) with Indocyanine Green (ICG) represents a relatively recent addition. At present, there is considerable variation in the protocols for the administration of ICG.

Background: Post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) pancreatitis (PEP) is a severe and deadly adverse event following ERCP. The ideal method for predicting PEP risk before ERCP has yet to be identified. We aimed to establish a simple PEP risk score model (SuPER model: Support for PEP Reduction) that can be applied before ERCP.
