Recurrent gastric ulcer and cholangitis caused by ectopic drainage of the bile duct into the stomach
We report a case of recurrent gastritis with pyloric stenosis and cholangitis due to a rare variation in bile duct anatomy. A 72-year-old female patient showed recurrent gastral ulcers and biliary colic with cholangitis caused by gallstones in the main ...

The subvesical duct of Luschka: A source of bile leakage following gallbladder removal
We describe a case of bile leakage following laparoscopic cholecystectomy further complicated by iatrogenic central bile duct obstruction. The site of leakage was identified not from the site of the inadvertent proper hepatic duct ligation but from a ...

Novel Use of Intraoperative Fluoroscopy in an Era of ICG for Complex Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy
Background Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is increasingly being used as a first-line treatment for acute cholecystitis. Bile duct injury (BDI) remains the most feared complication of the minimally invasive approach specially in cases with an inflamed ...
