13. Reliability of pre- and intraoperative tests for biliary lithiasis.
The records of 242 patients, operated consecutively for biliary lithiasis, were analyzed to determine the reliability of oral cholecystography (OCG), ultrasonography (US), and HIDA in detecting biliary calculi. Preoperative interpretations were correlated to operative findings. OCG obtained in 138 patients was accurate in 92%. US obtained in 150 was correct

14. Laparoscopic antegrade sphincterotomy. A new technique for the management of complex choledocholithiasis.
OBJECTIVE: Laparoscopic antegrade sphincterotomy represents a new technique that expands the ability of the surgeon to manage complex choledocholithiasis at the time of laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The authors describe their experience with six patients with cholelithiasis and complex common bile duct stone disease who underwent successful laparoscopic chol

15. Cholecystectomy without operative cholangiography. Implications for common bile duct injury and retained common bile duct stones.
OBJECTIVE: This study evaluated the selective use of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in the context of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) while minimizing the use of operative cholangiography. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: There has been a long-standing debate between routine and selective operative cholangiography that has resurfaced with LC

16. Laparoscopic cholangiography. Results and indications.
One hundred sixty-five operative cholangiograms were attempted in 364 patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy (45%). Laparoscopic cholangiography was successful in 150 of 165 attempts (91%). Eighty-nine per cent of studies were normal (134/150) and 11% were abnormal (16/150). All 134 patients with normal cholangiograms remained asymptomatic (fals

17. Endoscopic management of Mirizzi's syndrome.
BACKGROUND: The accepted management of Mirizzi's syndrome is surgical, but endoscopic and percutaneous management have been described. AIM: To review our experience of endoscopic intervention for Mirizzi's syndrome. PATIENTS AND METHODS: ERCP reports of patients presenting for endoscopic management of choledocholithiasis between March 1989 and June 1995 were

18. Experience with sphincteroplasty and sphincterotomy in pancreatobiliary surgery.
Review of a 26-year experience with transduodenal sphincteroplasty and sphincterotomy was undertaken (1) to analyze critically the indications for and results of these procedures and (2) to determine which preoperative factors correlate with a good or poor outcome. Of 109 patients, 78 underwent sphincteroplasty, whereas 31 had a transduodenal sphincterotomy.

19. General stress response to conventional and laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
OBJECTIVE: In many retrospective and prospective observational studies, laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) compares favorably with conventional cholecystectomy (CC), with respect to length of hospital stay, postoperative pain, and pulmonary function, indicating a diminished operative trauma. Comparison of laboratory findings (stress hormones, blood glucose, i

20. Intrahepatic stones. The transhepatic team approach.
OBJECTIVE: The authors reviewed the combined interventional radiologic and surgical management of 54 patients with intrahepatic stones at the Johns Hopkins Hospital. The team approach used large-bore transhepatic stents to access the intrahepatic ducts until they were stone free. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: Intrahepatic stones are uncommon in western countries.
