DOI: 10.1136/bmjgast-2021-000803
Abstract: Introduction Biliodigestive leaks are typically caused by an insufficiency at the surgical anastomosis. Biliodigestive anastomosis (BDA) insufficiencies can lead to bilomas, abscesses and vascular erosion in chronic conditions. Material and methods We performed a retrospective… read more here.

DOI: 10.3748/wjg.v26.i27.3929
Abstract: BACKGROUND Some patients with hepatolithiasis cannot tolerate surgery due to severe cardiac or pulmonary comorbidities, or cannot be endoscopically treated because of altered gastrointestinal anatomies. AIM To propose a modified percutaneous transhepatic papillary balloon dilation… read more here.
