Researchers have found in a new study that pre-operative ultrasound showing isolated common bile duct (CBD) dilation does not ...

Of note, the use of intraoperative cholangiogram was significantly higher in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy compared with robotic-assisted cholecystectomy (0.97% vs 0.72%, P <0.001).

A cholecystectomy may also involve an intraoperative cholangiogram (IOC), which is a live, real-time video X-ray of the bile ducts, taken during surgery. An IOC is performed to check for gallstones ...

Introduction Use of the Intraoperative cholangiogram (IOC) was introduced by Mirizzi in 1931, who recommended its routine use. Currently, routine IOC during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) remains a ...

Background One of the most severe complications in laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is intraoperative bile duct injury (BDI). Despite its low incidence, the medical implications for the patient can ...

Introduction Misidentification of the extrahepatic bile duct anatomy during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is the main cause of bile duct injury. Easier intraoperative recognition of the biliary ...

Iatrogenic bile duct injury during laparoscopic cholecystectomy has an incidence rate of 1-2%. The small size of the duct, multiple anatomical variations, and inflammatory conditions make it ...

It is important to note that the study was retrospective, and further prospective research is warranted to validate these findings and explore additional factors that may impact the selection of ...
