Bile Duct Cysts

Surgical Clinics of North America, 2008
Bile duct cysts are uncommon lesions that are found in adult and pediatric patients. Current concepts regarding epidemiology, etiology, classification, clinical diagnosis, and surgical treatment are reviewed. Bile duct cysts are associated with abnormal junctional anatomy of the pancreatic and bile ducts and with biliary tract cancer.

THE BILE DUCTS

Radiologic Clinics of North America, 1976
The common duct is a critical conduit. Hippocrates observed that to maintain health it is important to keep the yellow bile from the liver in balance. The present authors provide extensive descriptions of the structure, function, anomalies and disorders of the bile ducts, and make special note of the radiographic techniques available for use in ...

Bile Duct Carcinoma

Surgical Clinics of North America, 1981
Bile duct carcinoma most often causes death by obstructing bile flow; relief of this obstruction extends survival. Options include passage of tubes through the tumor to maintain internal bile drainage, hepatic-enteric bypass, and percutaneous tube drainage.

Extrahepatic bile duct malignancies

Perspectives in Surgery, 2022
Introduction: Biliary tract malignancies belong to very aggressive malignancies of the gastrointestinal tract. The only radical treatment is surgical resection which is possible only in a limited number of cases due to late diagnosis. The aim of this report was to present the experience of our own department with the diagnosis and treatment of these ...

Difficult bile duct stones

Current Treatment Options in Gastroenterology, 2006
Bile duct stones are routinely removed at time of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) after biliary sphincterotomy with standard balloon or basket extraction techniques. However, in approximately 10% to 15% of patients, bile duct stones may be difficult to remove due to challenging access to the bile duct (periampullary diverticulum ...

Proximal Bile Duct Tumors

Surgical Oncology Clinics of North America, 1996
Modern radiologic diagnostic approaches that identify patients with high bile duct cancer can predict resectability and provide information for biliary-enteric bypass in the case of irresectability. Twenty percent to 40% of patients are resectable by local excision with or without hepatic resection, and this represents the only opportunity for cure ...

Vanishing Bile Duct Syndrome

Clinics in Liver Disease, 2008
Perhaps no condition associated with chronic cholestasis is less understood than vanishing bile duct syndrome, a term that refers loosely to the group of acquired disorders associated with progressive destruction and disappearance of the intrahepatic bile ducts and, ultimately, cholestasis.

Iatrogenic bile duct injuries

Surgical Endoscopy, 2003
The real incidence of bile duct injury (BDI) during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is not known.Using questionnaires, we analyzed 91,232 LC performed by 170 surgical units in Brazil between 1990 and 1997.A total of 167 BDI occurred (0.18%); the most frequent were Bismuth type 1 injuries (67.7%).

[Bile duct epithelium and bile duct atresia].

Zeitschrift fur Kinderchirurgie : organ der Deutschen, der Schweizerischen und der Osterreichischen Gesellschaft fur Kinderchirurgie = Surgery in infancy and childhood, 1988
In order to investigate pathogenetic theories about the origins of biliary atresia, a model consisting of cell cultures of bile duct epithelium from the extrahepatic ducts of human and bovine origin is presented. The epithelial nature of the cultivated cells was documented by phase contrast microscopy, by electron microscopy and immunohistochemistry ...

Postoperative bile duct strictures

Current Treatment Options in Gastroenterology, 2002
The management of patients with postoperative biliary stricture is a challenging problem that spans across several disciplines. A team approach involving endoscopists, interventional radiologists, and biliary surgeons is crucial for the successful management of individuals with this complex problem.
