253 percutaneous transhepatic cholangiographies with Chiba needle were performed. In 83% of the cases the biliary tract could be visualized. In the patients with extrahepatic cholestasis 92% success was achieved, while only 48% success in the cases with intra-hepatic cholestasis. Complications were developed in 3,87% of cases (choleperitoneum 4, cholangitis 2, hemorrhage 2, paralytic ileum 1, hemobilia 2). There was no mortality. Patients with dilated biliary tract should be operated upon in no more than 24 hours following the procedure.

Background: Gallbladder and biliary tract cancers (GBTCs) are aggressive with poor prognosis, often undetected until advanced stages. High Body Mass Index (BMI) is a significant risk factor, contributing substantially to GBTC mortality and Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs). This study aimed to quantify the global burdens of GBTCs attributable to high BMI from 1990 to 2021, thereby developing more rational prevention and treatment strategies for GBTC.

Cancers of the digestive system are major contributors to global cancer-associated morbidity and mortality, accounting for 35% of annual cases of cancer deaths. The etiologies, molecular features, and therapeutic management of these cancer entities are highly heterogeneous and complex. Over the last decade, genomic and functional studies have provided unprecedented insights into the biology of digestive cancers, identifying genetic drivers of tumor progression and key interaction points of tumor cells with the immune system.

Background: Currently, there is limited scientific evidence regarding the effectiveness of fluorescent cholangiography in emergency cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis. The primary aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of near-infrared fluorescent cholangiography (NIRF-C) in different severity degrees of acute cholecystitis.
Materials And Methods: Inclusion criteria were patients with a clinical and radiological (abdominal ultrasound and/or computed tomography) diagnosis of acute cholecystitis based on the revised 2018 Tokyo guidelines who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy within 24-72 h from the onset of symptoms and patients with ASA score of 0-3.

Background: Despite the expanding indications for laparoscopic liver resection (LLR), its role in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT) remains unclear. The aim of the current study is to compare the short- and long-term outcomes following LLR and open liver resection (OLR) for HCC with PVTT.
Methods: All HCC patients with PVTT registered for surgery between April 2015 and May 2022 were enrolled.

A 78-year-old male patient came to our hospital with a chief complaint of fever. Computed tomography revealed an indistinct tumor in the pancreatic head, along with dilatation of the bile duct and main pancreatic duct. An endoscopic transpapillary biopsy demonstrated adenocarcinoma in the glandular epithelium and a dense formation of quasi-round cells.
