With the advent of computers, microscopy has entered an exciting new era of computerised three dimensional (3D) reconstruction. Using serial sections, it is now possible to generate complex 3D images, that can be rotated at various angles to study the organ systems of interest. In this project, the first of its kind, we have used computer generated 3D reconstruction to study the developing human biliary system.The human biliary system consists of the extra and intrahepatic components. The extrahepatic system develops from the embryonic hepatic diverticulum and is tubular from the start. The intrahepatic bile ducts arise from the Ductal Plate. The Ductal Plate comprises of sheets of biliary epithelium, with discontinuous luminal spaces, that appear within the mesenchyme along the portal vein branches. The Ductal Plate is remodelled into tubular definitive bile ducts by an orderly process of epithelial deletion and selection which occurs between 11-13 weeks of gestation

Chronic acalculous cholecystitis is the cause of violations of the functional state of the liver in the form of stagnation in the intrahepatic bile ducts and a decrease in the activity of hepatocytes and is considered within the framework of a single pathology of the hepatobiliary tract. Complex therapy with the inclusion of the drug ademetionine, which in addition to the hepatoprotective effect affects the outflow of intrahepatic bile, contributes to the restoration of the detected violations.

Choledochal cysts are rare congenital anomalies, mostly detected in adults. Pathogenesis of these cysts seems to be in anomalous junction between pancreatic and common bile duct, above the papillary sphincterand outside of the duodenal wall. The absence of the sphincter above the junction is followed by reflux of the pancreatic juice into the bile duct leading to dilatation and fibrous changes of bile duct wall. A 38-year-old female is presented in whom a choledochal cyst was found 11 years earlier, during the operation performed for obstructive jaundice, when cystojejunostomy with Roux-en Y jejunal limb was carried out. In February 1990, she was admitted to our Institution for jaundice and biliary colic. The patient was reoperated. Operative cholangiography showed an anomalous pancreatobiliary junction, choledochal cyst, dilated cystic duct and moderate dilatation of intrahepatic bile ducts. Cholecystectomy, desanastomosis with partial excision of choledochal cyst, and retrocolic choledochojejunostomy with the same Roux-en-Y jejunal limb were performed. Total excision of choledochal cyst was too risky due to chronic inflammatory changes in the hepatoduodenal ligament. Postoperative recovery was uneventful and the patient remained symptom-free so far.
