Primary Barbed Suture Versus T‐Tube Drainage After Laparoscopic Common Bile Duct Exploration: A Randomized Controlled Trial

open access: yesHealth Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims T‐tube drainage has traditionally been used after laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) to reduce the risk of bile leakage; however, it is associated with prolonged hospital stay and tube‐related complications. Primary closure of the common bile duct has emerged as an alternative strategy, but concerns regarding

Beyond a Conduit: The Evolution of Functional Biliary Stents From Active Intervention to Enabling Platforms

open access: yesiNew Medicine, Volume 2, Issue 1, March 2026.
This review traces the evolution of functional biliary stents, outlining the paradigm shift from “active intervention” strategies that target stent failure to next‐generation “enabling platforms.” These platforms leverage biodegradable materials, 3D/4D printing, and smart sensors to achieve personalized, regenerative, and theranostic solutions ...

Cost‐Effectiveness and Efficacy of Biodegradable Pancreatic Stents for Preventing Post‐ERCP Pancreatitis: A Retrospective Multi‐Center Study

open access: yesJGH Open, Volume 10, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Post‐endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) pancreatitis (PEP) occurs in up to 10% of cases. Prophylactic pancreatic stenting reduces PEP risk; however, plastic stents frequently require an additional procedure for removal, increasing cost and patient burden.
