Background: The use of preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) for managing patients with periampullary cancer awaiting surgery remains controversial. The impact of PBD status and type on surgical outcomes has not been established, leading to a lack of consensus. We aimed to evaluate the impact of PBD on short-term surgical outcomes in curatively resected periampullary cancer.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed data from patients undergoing curative periampullary cancer resection. A propensity score-matched analysis was performed to adjust for clinical differences. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to determine independent risk factors for complications.
Results: The overall complication rate was significantly higher in patients who underwent PBD (P = 0.027). Additionally, complication rates were significantly higher in the endoscopic biliary drainage (EBD) group than in the percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) group (P < 0.001). After propensity score matching, overall complication rates in patients receiving EBD (P < 0.001) were significantly higher. PBD type and diagnosis were independent risk factors for complications (hazard ratios: 1.927 for EBD; 1.921 for biliary tract cancer).
Conclusions: Preoperative biliary drainage, especially EBD, should not be routinely performed in patients awaiting surgery for periampullary cancer, as it increases the risk of complications.

Background: Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) is a common pathogen causing non-tuberculous mycobacterial infections, primarily affecting the lungs. Disseminated MAC disease occurs mainly in immunocompromised individuals, such as those with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, hematological malignancies, or those positive for anti-interferon-γ antibodies. However, its occurrence in solid organ transplant recipients is uncommon.

This study aims to compare the efficacy of laparoscopic cholecystectomy combined with laparoscopic transcystic common bile duct exploration (LTCBDE), laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE), and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in the treatment of gallbladder stones with common bile duct stones. We conducted a retrospective comparative analysis based on surgical time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative recovery metrics, total hospitalization costs, gastrointestinal quality of life index (GIQLI) before and after surgery, and the incidence of postoperative complications. No significant differences were found among the three groups in terms of the surgical success rate, first stone clearance rate, intraoperative blood loss, incidence of postoperative complications, and stone recurrence rate (p > 0.

Biliary tract cancers (BTCs), including gallbladder and bile duct cancers, have a poor prognosis. Recent advances in chemotherapy, such as using targeted drugs for specific gene mutations, have improved outcomes. Gemcitabine plus cisplatin chemotherapy has been the standard of care for the primary treatment of BTCs, but secondary treatment had not been established until recently.
