The use of the laparoscope in biliary tract surgery continues to play a major role in improving the operative management of patients with biliary diseases. Laparascopic cholecystectomy has been safely performed as a day-case procedure and has lowered the morbidity of cholecystectomy in the setting of acute cholecystitis.

Imaging of the biliary tract can utilize a wide variety of different techniques: plain film, oral cholecystogram, ultrasound, percutaneous transhepatic cholangiogram — PTC, endoscopic retrograde cholangiography — ERCP(see Chap. 27), CT, radioisotope imaging, operative cholangiogram, T-tube cholangiogram, intravenous cholangiogram — IVC, MRI, biopsy and

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

The Greekphilosopher Diogenes (412 to 323 BC) founded the Cynic school of philosophy. Among his many ascetic practices, the one most popularly associated with him is the image of his endless search, lantern held aloft, for a man of truth. Why should this conjure up the image of a miniature counterpart of Diogenes, roaming the biliary tract, searching ...

Current Opinion in Gastroenterology, 2000
Investigation into the molecular and cellular biology of carcinogenesis continues to elucidate potential mechanisms for the initiation and progression of biliary tract cancer. The potential role of cell cycle regulators, such as Fas ligand, has been examined in the etiology of bile duct carcinoma.

Current Opinion in Gastroenterology, 1999
Recent advances in the molecular and cellular biology, diagnosis, and treatment of biliary tract cancer are reviewed. Several studies have delineated the molecular and cellular biology of cholangiocarcinoma and gallbladder carcinoma. Hepatocyte growth factor seems to be mitogenic to gallbladder carcinoma, and its inhibition may have a therapeutic role ...

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 ...

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 ...

1. The gallbladder capacity is 30–50 ml. Wall thickness while fasting is up to 3.5 mm. Maximal diameter of common bile duct is 7–8 mm in intravenous cholangiography (IVC) or ultrasonography, 10–11 mm on ERCP or percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography (PTC).

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).
