The authors present two clinical observations of biliary calculi that developed upon the non-resorbable threads placed in the vicinity of the biliary pathways, or on the cystic stump, on the occasion of a previous intervention. A review is also presented, of the data in the literature and the process of development is discussed, of these calculi. The personal experience of the surgeon should be the decisive factor in making the right choice for such cases.

Early and late outcomes of congenital biliary dilatation in pediatric patients.
Pediatr Int
April 2024
Department of Pediatric Surgery, Niigata University Graduate School of Medical and Dental Sciences, Chuo-Ku, Niigata City, Japan.
Background: This study aimed to reveal the early and late postoperative complications and outcomes after surgery for congenital biliary dilatation (CBD) by reviewing cases over the past 40 years.
Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 59 patients with CBD who underwent radical surgery for complications and outcomes, based on medical records. Early complications were defined as those requiring treatment within 5 years of the initial operation.

Introduction: Intrahepatic and extrahepatic lithiasis, a condition characterized by the presence of stones in the liver and bile ducts, is a common disease in Asia, particularly in East and Southeast Asia. We report a case with laparoscopic exploration of the common bile duct using a flexible cholangioscope and modified trans-common bile duct tunnel for hepatolithiasis combined with the dilated common bile duct.
Presentation Of Case: A 35-year-old male patient has had chronic epigastric and right upper quadrant pain.
Enhanced Recovery after Surgery Applied to Pediatric Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy for Simple Cholelithiasis: Feasibility and Teaching Insights.

Department of General Pediatric Surgery and Urology, Robert Debré Children University Hospital, APHP, 75019 Paris, France.
Article Synopsis
- Same-day discharge after cholecystectomy is becoming common in both adults and children, yet there's a gap in teaching models for pediatric procedures; this study aimed to evaluate clinical outcomes using an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol for pediatric patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
- Implemented in 2015, the ERAS pathway focused on optimizing various aspects of surgery, such as admission, anesthesia, and postoperative care, with clear guidelines on when day-case surgery was unsuitable due to specific medical conditions.
- Among 33 pediatric patients analyzed from 2015 to 2020, only one intraoperative complication occurred, with 9% needing an overnight stay, while no significant postoperative issues were reported, highlighting

Article Synopsis
- Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is the leading biliary tract cancer and the second most common primary liver cancer, with rising rates of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) observed in Western Europe.
- While the mortality for iCCA has increased, extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (eCCA) rates have remained stable in terms of incidence and mortality.
- Risk factors for iCCA vary by region, with traditional factors like hepatobiliary flukes in Asia and primary sclerosing cholangitis in the West, while emerging factors like obesity, diabetes, and metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) are becoming increasingly significant.
Predictors of Post-ERCP Pancreatitis (P.E.P.) in Choledochal Lithiasis Extraction.
J Pers Med
September 2023
County Clinical Emergency Hospital of Sibiu, 550245 Sibiu, Romania.
In the present era, post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP) stands out as one of the most commonly occurring complications associated with endoscopic choledochal lithiasis extraction. The ability to predict the occurrence of such an event, particularly by utilizing absolute values and ratio dynamics of the emergency blood tests, constitutes the primary step in effectively managing a patient with a complex pathology. The study involved 134 patients who performed ERCP to extract choledochal lithiasis ( = 48 with PEP and = 86 without PEP).
