Biliary Tract Surgery

Surgical Clinics of North America, 1977
Many of the complications of biliary tract surgery are seen in elderly patients who also possess significant cardiopulmonary deficits, diabetes mellitus, and other disorders of advancing age. Operations in this group of patients could in many cases be avoided by the decision for earlier cholecystectomy in younger patients with symptomatic and ...

Biliary tract cancer

Current Opinion in Gastroenterology, 2001
Advances in cellular and molecular biology of extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and gallbladder adenocarcinoma are providing innovative means for the diagnosis and treatment of biliary tract cancer. Similarly, refinements in noninvasive studies--including helical computed tomography, magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography, and endoscopic ...

Antibiotics in the Biliary Tract: A Review of the Pharmacokinetics and Clinical Outcomes of Antibiotics Penetrating the Bile and Gallbladder Wall

Pharmacotherapy, 2020
Biliary tract infections (BTIs), including cholangitis and cholecystitis, are common causes of bacteremia. Bacteremic BTIs are associated with a mortality rate of 9–12%.

Reconstruction of the Biliary Tract

Surgical Clinics of North America, 1985
The history of biliary reconstruction is a record of almost 100 years of surgical advancement. A reasonable technique is now available and applies not only to reconstruction after injury in the course of cholecystectomy but also to reconstruction after resection of tumor or in the treatment of sclerosing cholangitis, choledochocyst, or biliary calculi.

Biliary Tract Cancer at CT: A Radiomics-based Model to Predict Lymph Node Metastasis and Survival Outcomes.

Radiology, 2019
Purpose To evaluate a radiomics model for predicting lymph node (LN) metastasis in biliary tract cancers (BTCs) and to determine its prognostic value for disease-specific and recurrence-free survival. Materials and Methods For this retrospective study, a

Biliary Tract Cancers

New England Journal of Medicine, 1999
In the United States, an estimated 20,000 new cases of liver and biliary tract cancer are diagnosed annually.1 Biliary tract cancer is the second most common primary hepatobiliary cancer, after hepatocellular cancer. Approximately 7500 new cases of biliary tract cancer are diagnosed per year; about 5000 of these are gallbladder cancer, and between 2000

Biliary tract emergencies

Hospital Medicine, 2002
Gallstones are responsible for the majority of biliary tract emergencies and will be the main focus of this article. Gallstones present with features related to the site of the calculi and are therefore considered separately. Cholecystolithiasis refers to gallstones confined to the gallbladder, whereas choledocholithiasis refers to gallstones within ...

Biliary Tract Interventions

Techniques in Vascular and Interventional Radiology, 2009
Biliary tract interventions remain a tremendous technical challenge to the interventionalist and require appropriate clinical postprocedural management. The increased use of endoscopy for biliary tract evaluation and intervention has served to largely replace percutaneous techniques, resulting in a decreased number of patients requiring primary ...

Biliary tract imaging

Current Gastroenterology Reports, 1999
In addition to the detection of gallstones, common bile duct stones, and narrowed and dilated bile ducts, recent advancements in imaging techniques now make it possible to diagnose microlithiasis, pathology of normal-size ducts, and dysfunction of the gallbladder and the sphincter of Oddi (SO).

Biliary tract cancer

1997
Cholangiocarcinomas are malignant tumors that arise from the epithelium of the intrahepatic or extrahepatic bile ducts. Cholangiocarcinomas are rare compared with hepatocellular carcinoma, comprising less than 10% of primary malignancies of the liver [1].
