DOI: 10.1007/s00464-018-06620-x
Abstract: BackgroundNumerous models have been developed to predict choledocholithiasis. Recent work has shown that these algorithms perform suboptimally. Identification of clinical predictors with high positive and negative predictive value would minimize adverse events associated with unnecessary… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.asjsur.2021.01.013
Abstract: BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE The current treatment for choledocholithiasis is endoscopic common bile duct clearance followed by cholecystectomy. However, few studies have investigated whether cholecystectomy is necessary after the endoscopic removal of bile duct stones. This study aimed… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jamcollsurg.2016.12.040
Abstract: BACKGROUND Common duct stones can be diagnosed by magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP), endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)/ERCP, and intraoperative cholangiogram (IOC). In 2015, our group adopted a standard approach of preoperative EUS/ERCP followed by laparoscopic cholecystectomy for… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/00365521.2018.1508611
Abstract: Abstract Introduction: Previous studies suggest that fragmentation of pancreatic duct stones (PDS) using extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) is associated with pain relief. However, the treatment may not be effective in certain subgroups. Aim: To… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/xcs.0000000000000259
Abstract: BACKGROUND Antimicrobial guidance for common bile duct stones during the perioperative period is limited. We sought to examine the effect of broad-spectrum (BS) vs narrow-spectrum (NS) antibiotics on surgical site infections (SSIs) in patients with… read more here.
