Small sphincterotomy combined with endoscopic papillary large balloon dilation versus sphincterotomy.

12 Sep 2009 AIM: To compare small sphincterotomy combined with endoscopic papillary large balloon dilation (SES + ELBD) and endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) for large bile duct stones. METHODS: We compared prospectively SES + ELBD (group A, n = 27) with ... Read more...

Intraoperative cholangiography in combination with laparoscopic ultrasonography for the detection of occult choledocholithiasis.

30 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: There is still a debate about the utility of intraoperative cholangiography (IOC) or laparoscopic ultrasonography (LUS) for detection of occult choledocholithiasis during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). The aim of this study was to ... Read more...

Use of human amniotic stem cells for common bile duct reconstruction: vascularized support of a free amnion graft.

30 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: Benign bile duct stricture is common in surgical practice. The complications of late stricture formation and biliary sepsis still occur in bile duct reconstruction. Many biological and artificial materials have been used to replace the ... Read more...
