A new framework for tailoring laparoscopic cholecystectomy: Integrating preoperative clinical factors with surgical difficulty based on the Tokyo Guidelines 2018

Journal of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose The Tokyo Guidelines 2018 introduced the Surgical Difficulty Score (TGDS18) to assess laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) difficulty based on intraoperative findings. This study aimed to predict surgical difficulty preoperatively using clinical factors correlated with TGDS18. Methods Of 369 LC cases for cholecystitis (Jan 2014–Jul 2024),

Percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography and drainage for biliary strictures after pediatric liver transplantation

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Biliary strictures (BS) remain frequent after pediatric liver transplantation (pLT) and best management practices are still lacking. This study systematically assesses efficacy of stricture treatment by percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography and drainage (PTCD). Methods Online databases were searched for studies on PTCD treatment

Application of machine learning in constructing a diagnostic model for neonatal biliary atresia

Pediatric Investigation, EarlyView.
This study included 85 neonates who visited the hospital due to pathological jaundice. Using the basic clinical characteristics and serological examination data of the neonatal period, we developed six machine‐learning (ML) models. Extreme gradient boosting has the maximum potential to diagnose biliary atresia in the neonatal period.

Balloon Catheter Versus Drill Dilator for EUS‐Guided Hepaticogastrostomy Stent Placement: A Randomized Clinical Trial

United European Gastroenterology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives A novel partially self‐expandable metal stent (PCSEMS) with an anti‐migration system has recently become available during Endoscopic ultrasound‐guided hepaticogastrostomy (EUS‐HGS) but requires tract dilation. No previous study has compared the performance of dilation devices during EUS‐HGS.

Imaging of Abdominal Complications in Children With Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia

Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) is the most common paediatric malignancy and remains one of the most common causes of cancer‐related death in children and adolescents. Five‐year overall survival rates now exceed 90% with current multidrug chemotherapeutic regimens. This improvement, coupled with the toxicity of chemotherapy, has led to the

Verification in an animal study of the appropriate settings for a novel radiofrequency generator in radiofrequency ablation therapy for residual intraductal lesions after endoscopic papillectomy (with video)

Digestive Endoscopy, EarlyView.
Endoscopic intraductal radiofrequency ablation (ID‐RFA) can curatively treat residual intraductal lesions after endoscopic papillectomy. This study aimed to verify the tissue invasiveness of ID‐RFA using a novel RF generator and to explore its appropriate settings in an animal experiment, followed by a small clinical study.

Choledocholithiasis : whither surgery? [PDF]

, 1991
Choledocholithiasis is a common condition. It has been estimated that as many as 24% of patients with cholelithiasis have stones in the common bile duct. Until the last decade, the ’gold standard’ for treatment has been surgery.
