Veillonella, Neisseria, Prevotella, and Lachnoanaerobaculum enrichment in salivary microbiome predicts gallstone disease

European Journal of Medical Research
Introduction Gallstone disease (GSD) is a common hepatobiliary disorder influenced by bile composition, biliary drainage, and gallbladder motility. Emerging evidence suggests that oral microbiota may contribute to GSD development, but its role remains ...

Reappraisal of Real‐World Management of Acute Cholecystitis in Elderly Patients Based on the Adherence to Tokyo Guidelines 2018 (TG18): A Multicenter Study on Anzu HPB Surgical Meeting

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This multicenter retrospective study analyzes real‐world management of acute cholecystitis in patients aged ≥ 70 years across five institutions, focusing on adherence and intentional deviation from TG18 recommendations. By classifying treatment strategies as TG18‐accordant, more aggressive, or more conservative, we reappraise current practice patterns.

Emergency Cholecystectomy in Patients Classified as High Risk According to the Tokyo Guidelines 2018: A Real‐World Analysis

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Emergency cholecystectomy was evaluated in patients with acute cholecystitis classified as non‐recommended for surgery by the Tokyo Guidelines 2018. Major postoperative complications, rather than mortality, better reflected operative risk. Physiological instability, particularly ASA‐PS ≥ 3 and shock status, identified high‐risk patients, suggesting ...

Identification of changes in bile composition in pancreaticobiliary reflux based on liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry metabolomics

BMC Gastroenterology
Introduction Pancreaticobiliary reflux (PBR) can induce gallstone formation; however, its pathogenic mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we explored the mechanism of PBR by the non-targeted metabolomic analysis of bile in patients with PBR ...
