Choledocholithiasis Caused by a Migrated Surgical Clip 10 Years After Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: A Case Report

open access: yesDEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT A 75‐year‐old man presented with epigastric pain 10 years after undergoing a laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute calculous cholecystitis. Prior to surgery, severe inflammation necessitated ligation and clipping of the gallbladder neck. On admission, laboratory tests revealed elevated cholestatic liver enzyme levels and hyperbilirubinemia ...

Preoperative Diagnosis of BilIN‐3 Based on Peroral Cholangioscopy Leading to Pancreaticoduodenectomy in a Patient with Common Bile Duct Stones: A Case Report

open access: yesDEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Biliary intraepithelial neoplasia (BilIN) is a precursor of bile duct adenocarcinoma that arises in the setting of chronic biliary or liver disease. Because BilIN spreads as a flat or micropapillary lesion, it is difficult to detect by imaging, and biopsy interpretation is often complicated by inflammation or prior instrumentation ...

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.

Incidence of Cholangitis in Post‐Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP): A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesJGH Open, Volume 10, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a procedure that combines x‐ray and upper gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy for diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic and biliary diseases. Cholangitis is the main infectious complication after ERCP surgery.

DNASE1L3 Deficiency With Novel Missense Variant: Enzymatic and Plasma Fragmentomic Evidence of Pathogenicity and Partial Response to JAK Blockade

open access: yesACR Open Rheumatology, Volume 8, Issue 2, February 2026.
Objective Biallelic loss‐of‐function variants in DNASE1L3 cause inherited systemic lupus erythematosus and hypocomplementemic urticarial vasculitis. These disorders arise from defective clearance of extracellular chromatin, leading to autoantibody formation, immune complex deposition, and complement consumption.

An Atypical Presentation of Lemmel's Syndrome: A Rare Culprit of Intermittent Biliary Obstruction

open access: yesClinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.
Imaging features of Lemmel syndrome illustrating intermittent extrinsic compression of the common bile duct by a periampullary duodenal diverticulum. Current CT demonstrates abrupt CBD tapering with upstream biliary dilatation, while prior imaging shows preserved ductal caliber, supporting a dynamic obstructive process.
