Since 1965, 101 operations for benign bile duct stricture have been performed, including 51 Roux-en-Y end-to-side hepaticojejunostomies. Complete follow-up to a mean of 12.5 years has been achieved. Nine patients required reoperation for stricture; the total cumulative late patency rate was 90 per cent, including successful repair. Seven of the nine patients who underwent a second operation had a favourable outcome. Early hepaticojejunostomy is a satisfactory treatment for recurrent biliary stricture.

Background And Aim: Managing benign biliary stricture endoscopically is complicated and challenging. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a 6-month placement of a fully covered self-expanding metallic stent for refractory benign biliary stricture.
Methods: Twenty-two patients with refractory benign biliary stricture (13 with chronic pancreatitis and 9 without) were recruited from five higher tertiary care centers.

The ABCB4 gene encodes multidrug resistance protein 3(MDR3), which is a phosphatidylcholine(PC) transfer enzyme that transfers lecithin from the inner part of the phospholipid bilayer to the extracellular bile. The occurrence of intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy(ICP) is closely related to ABCB4 variants, but there is limited research on this topic in southern Anhui, China. We sequenced ABCB4 in pregnant women with ICP and healthy pregnant women to explore the relationship.

Endoscopic management of benign pancreaticobiliary disorders encompasses a range of procedures designed to address complications in gallstone disease, choledocholithiasis, and pancreatic disorders. Acute cholecystitis is typically treated with cholecystectomy or percutaneous drainage (PT-GBD), but for high-risk or future surgical candidates, alternative decompression methods, such as endoscopic transpapillary gallbladder drainage (ETP-GBD), and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided gallbladder drainage (EUS-GBD), are effective. PT-GBD is associated with significant discomfort as well as variable adverse event rates.

Primary cholangiocarcinoma is a rare bile duct epithelial neoplasm that can present with atypical clinical manifestations, complicating its diagnosis. A 62-year-old male showed symptoms suggestive of a complicated hepatic cyst that was later identified as intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. The patient presented with abdominal discomfort without fever.

Background: While hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains the leading cause of liver transplant (LT) for liver tumors, indications have broadened over the years. Data regarding patient characteristics and outcomes of LT for liver tumors are limited.
Methods: From Jan-2002 to March-2022, 14,406 LT recipients for various liver tumors were identified in United Network for Organ Sharing database.
