Endoscopic biliary stent placement is an efficient method for the decompression of the biliary system in various benign and malignant causes. Dislocation and stent migration is a well-known complication, with most displaced stents passing through the bowel, uneventfully. Rarely, migrated stents can be accounted for potentially life-threatening complications.

Non-Surgical Management of Gallstones During Pregnancy: A Clinical Case Report.
Cureus
December 2024
Neurosurgery, County Clinical Emergency Hospital of Sibiu, Sibiu, ROU.
Gallstone disease during pregnancy, or cholelithiasis, presents significant clinical challenges due to hormonal, anatomical, and metabolic changes. Progesterone therapy, commonly used in pregnancy for uterine bleeding, can exacerbate gallstone risk by reducing gallbladder motility and promoting cholesterol gallstone formation. This case report describes a 29-year-old pregnant woman with no prior gallbladder disease who developed multiple cholesterol gallstones during the third trimester while undergoing progesterone therapy for bleeding associated with a bicornuate uterus.

Department of General Surgery, Shenzhen University General Hospital, Shenzhen 518000, Guangdong Province, China.
Background: Malignant obstructive jaundice (MOJ) is characterized by the presence of malignant tumors infiltrating or compressing the bile duct, causing poor bile drainage, generalized yellowing, pain, itching, and malaise. MOJ is burdensome for both the society and the families of affected patients and should be taken seriously.
Aim: To evaluate the clinical effect of stent placement during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography for relieving MOJ and the efficacy of percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage in terms of liver function improvement, complication rates, and long-term patient outcomes.
Clinical application of indocyanine green fluorescence imaging in laparoscopic cholecystectomy with common bile duct exploration and J-Tube drainage.

Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery, Affiliated Nantong Hospital Third of Nantong University, Nantong 226006, Jiangsu Province, China.
Background: Intraoperative and postoperative biliary injuries remain significant complications of laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE). Indocyanine green (ICG) has been shown to significantly reduce injuries caused by intraoperative operational errors. We found that the J-tube can reduce postoperative strictures and injuries to the common bile duct.

University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust, Plymouth, United Kingdom. Electronic address:
Background: Most patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) develop recurrence. No previous studies have investigated predictors of local-only recurrence following PD for PDAC. Our study aimed to determine timing, pattern and predictors of any-site and local-only recurrence following PD for PDAC.

Dig Dis Sci
January 2025
Digestive Disease Center and Research Institute, Department of Internal Medicine, SoonChunHyang University School of Medicine, Cheonan, Korea.
Background And Aim: Although long self-expandable metal stent (SEMS) with a sufficient intragastric portion is typically preferred for endoscopic ultrasound-guided hepaticogastrostomy (EUS-HGS), this design can complicate endoscopic re-intervention for recurrent biliary obstruction (RBO). We evaluated the efficacy and safety of endoscopic re-intervention for RBO through the stent after EUS-HGS using a novel partially covered SEMS with an anchoring flange.
Methods: The partially covered SEMS was designed with a intrahepatic uncovered portion measuring 1.
