DOI: 10.1007/s00268-018-4760-1
Abstract: BackgroundPatients with persistent symptoms of acute cholecystitis for >72 h who cannot undergo urgent laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) often undergo percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage (PTGBD) and delayed LC. However, intraoperative near-infrared fluorescence with indocyanine green (ICG) has… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00464-017-5604-z
Abstract: BackgroundXanthogranulomatous cholecystitis is an inflammatory disease with pathologically distinct characteristics such as accumulation of lipid-laden macrophages, fibrous tissue, and acute and chronic inflammatory cells. It often involves adjacent organs and mimics gallbladder cancer. The purpose… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00464-017-5874-5
Abstract: BackgroundWhile evidence supports early compared to delayed cholecystectomy as optimal management of acute calculous cholecystitis (ACC), significant variability in practice remains. The purpose of this study was to identify variables associated with early cholecystectomy, to… read more here.
