Background: The endoscopic appearance of the major duodenal papilla influences biliary cannulation and complications. This study aimed to investigate the role of major duodenal papillae in the endoscopic treatment of common bile duct (CBD) stones.
Methods: This retrospective study was conducted at Bishan Hospital of Chongqing Medical University between January 2018 and August 2022.

Background: A predominantly endoscopic approach for acute admissions with choledocholithiasis with a gallbladder in situ (CGIS) resulted in prolonged hospital length of stay due to delays at investigation and treatment junctures. We initiated a quality improvement program of trans-cystic biliary stenting to facilitate efficient patient progress to acute cholecystectomy and outpatient ERCP if required.
Methods: We utilized implementation frameworks with regular re-assessment for this quality improvement project.

Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided biliary drainage (EUS-BD) includes EUS-guided hepaticogastrostomy (EUS-HGS), EUS-guided choledochoduodenostomy (EUS-CDS), EUS-guided gallbladder drainage (EUS-GBD), EUS-guided antegrade stenting (EUS-AG) and EUS-guided rendezvous (EUS-RV). While EUS-HGS, EUS-CDS and EUS-GBD are transluminal drainage procedures, EUS-AG is a traspapillary drainage procedure and EUS-RV is a procedure intended to facilitate endoscopic retrograde cholangio pancreatography (ERCP) in instances of failed cannulation. These procedures were initially developed as options for endoscopic salvage of failed ERCP, but have evolved to become first-line interventions also for select indications over time as the technique and expertise improved.

Purpose: The long-term need for biliary duct intervention following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery (RYGB) is uncertain. We investigated the rate of laparoscopic assisted retrograde cholangiopancreatography (LAERCP) following RYGB. Also, the pre-LAERCP diagnostic workup together with the true rate of choledocholithiasis in patients with or without prior cholecystectomy was investigated.
