Application of near-infrared fluorescent cholangiography using indocyanine green in laparoscopic cholecystectomy

Journal of International Medical Research, 2020
Objective Near-infrared fluorescence cholangiography (NIRF-C) can help to identify the bile duct during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. This retrospective study was performed to investigate the effect of NIRF-C in laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

A Novel Bioabsorbable Covered Stent for Advancing Bile Duct Injury Management: A Preclinical Study in a Porcine Model (With Video)

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Self‐expandable metallic and plastic stents have been used for biliary tract injuries, but they are not entirely adequate as treatments. This study investigated the potential of our novel self‐expandable bioabsorbable covered stent (SEBCS) to treat bile duct injuries. We developed a novel SEBCS by covering a self‐expandable bioabsorbable stent

Non-randomised patients in a cholecystectomy trial: characteristics, procedures, and outcomes

BMC Surgery, 2006
Background Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is now considered the first option for gallbladder surgery. However, 20% to 30% of cholecystectomies are completed as open operations often on elderly and fragile patients.

Challenges in evaluating surgical innovation [PDF]

, 2009
Research on surgical interventions is associated with several methodological and practical challenges of which few, if any, apply only to surgery. However, surgical evaluation is especially demanding because many of these challenges coincide.

Usefulness of a One‐step Semi‐deployment Flushing and Stenting Technique in Endoscopic Transpapillary Gallbladder Drainage for Acute Cholecystitis (With Video)

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives Endoscopic transpapillary gallbladder stenting (EGBS) has demonstrated high technical and clinical success rates in endoscopic transpapillary gallbladder drainage (ETGBD) for acute cholecystitis. The effectiveness of a 5‐Fr endoscopic naso‐gallbladder drainage (ENGBD) tube for flushing and the internal fistula technique after tube ...

Active Gallbladder Lavage Using a Double‐pigtail Plastic Stent Delivery System During Endoscopic Ultrasound‐guided Gallbladder Drainage (With Video)

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
Endoscopic ultrasound‐guided gallbladder drainage using a double‐pigtail plastic stent (DPPS) harbors the risk of bile leakage and pneumoperitoneum through the anastomosis site. When the inner sheath of the DPPS system is retracted halfway back into the stent, multiple side holes emerge on the stent end, which accelerates the active gallbladder lavage.
