Intrahepatic bile duct dilation and gallbladder hydrops due to a cystic duct stenosis in a 2-month-old boy.
2015
A 2-month-old boy presented with slight diffuse abdominal pain after an uncomplicated pregnancy and perinatal period. Height (62 cm) and weight (5.5 kg) were according to the age. Routine blood tests showed no abnormalities except for a minimal elevation of aspartate aminotransferase to 38 units/L (reference range 5–35 U/L). Primary abdominal ultrasound showed a dilation of the common bile duct and a gallbladder hydrops (figure 1). MR cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) was indicated to detect the cause for these incidental findings. Contrary to normal bile ducts in …
Case report: Trans-papillary free stenting of the cystic duct and of the common bile duct in a double biliary ducts anastomoses of a right lobe livin…

Abstract Background One of the major issues related to the living donor liver transplantation recipient outcome is still the high rate of biliary complication, especially when multiple biliary ducts are present and multiple anastomoses have to be performed. Case presentation and conclusion We report a case of adult-to-adult right lobe living donor liver transplantation performed for a recipient affected by alcohol-related cirrhosis with MELD score of 17. End-stage liver disease was complicated by refractory ascites, portal hypertension, small esophageal varices and portal gastropathy, hypersplenism, and abundant right pleural effusion. Here in the attached video we described the adult-to-ad…
Mirizzi syndrome type V complicated with both cholecystobiliary and cholecystocolic fistula: a case report
2021
Abstract Mirizzi syndrome (MS) is a common bile duct (CBD) obstruction caused by extrinsic compression from an impacted stone in the cystic duct or infundibulum of the gallbladder. Patients affected by MS may present abdominal pain and jaundice. A 37-year-old male with neurologic residuals post-encephalitis arrived at the emergency department reporting abdominal pain, jaundice and fever. An ultrasound of the abdomen identified cholecystolithiasis with a dilated CBD. He did not undergo CT or MRI due to poor compliance and parents’ disagreement. Eventually, they accepted to perform endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, which diagnosed MS with both cholecystobiliary and cholecystocol…
Neuroendocrine tumor of the common bile duct: case report
2017
Neuroendocrine tumors (NET) are a very heterogeneous group of neoplasms; in recent years we have seen an increase in their incidence (3.65 /100.000/year). They can be associated with hereditary endocrine syndromes (MEN, Von Hippel Lindau); they can occur at any age and the incidence is slightly higher in men than women. The aetiology of the neuroendocrine tumors is unclear; in most cases, inflammation of the bile ducts may be the underlying cause and for this reason, the initial patient's evaluation should be focused on the different aspects concerning the oncological one and the possible sequelae of the biliary obstructions that can evolve in biliary sepsis. All neuroendocrine tumors have …

Video-assisted surgery: suggestions for failure prevention in laparoscopic cholecystectomy
2014
Background: Surgery differs from other medical specialties in its execution. It is often complex and includes considerable individual variations. Observing problems in operating theatres (OT) allows for the identification of system failures which should be defined for learning purposes to increase patient safety and enhance general safety culture within hospital organizations. This study evaluates a common video-assisted surgical procedure, laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) through failure analysis. The profile of the LC procedure and failure sources is presented. Methods: Data consisted video-observations and interviews concerning twelve LC operations performed at a day surgery unit. All o…
Mirizzi syndrome in a patient with partial gastrectomy with Billroth II anastomosis: A case report
2020
Highlights • Obstructive jaundice may be a challenge for differential diagnosis. • Mirizzi Syndrome may simulate clinical and radiological presentation of common bile duct stones. • ERCP hardly achieves cannulation of biliary duct in altered anatomy, so gastroscope may be a correct choice in these cases. • Surgical treatment is essential in Mirizzi Syndrome.
