Objective. To analyze the most frequent diagnostic, tactical and technical errors of young doctors, leading to postcholecystectomy syndrome. Materials and methods. The analysis was based on the clinical material of 87 patients from the Surgical Department of Regional Clinical Hospital №1 and City Clinical Hospital №2 of Izhevsk regarding reconstructive and restorative surgeries on the biliary tract for the last 40 years (19782018). Results. The reasons, causing iatrogenic injuries of the bile ducts during cholecystectomy, are diagnostic, tactical, technical. Diagnostic errors are more often associated with inadequate diagnosis of cholelithiasis and cholecystitis (underestimation of history, complaints, clinical picture of the disease and its complications; failure or impossibility of FGDS; insufficient topical diagnosis while ultrasound investigation of the biliary tract and abdominal organs). Tactical errors in surgeries on the gallbladder include: overly expectant tactics, incorrect choice of surgical approach and method of anesthesia, lack of experience of the surgeon, inadequate revision of the biliary tract during surgery, refusal from surgical cholangiography and external drainage of the choledoch in case of doubtful patency of the bile duct. Technical reasons are specific features of the anatomy of the extrahepatic biliary tract, factors complicating the surgery, violation of surgical technique when performing an operation on the bile duct. Conclusions. Correct and timely diagnosis of bile diseases as well as qualified technique of surgical intervention will minimize the development of post-cholecystectomy syndrome and other iatrogenic complications.

The main causes of cholangitis are hypertension in the biliary ducts and infection. In order to determine the place of the infectious factor in the acute cholangitis development, a retrospective and prospective analysis of case histories of 176 patients with choledocholithiasis and manifestations of acute and chronic cholangitis was performed. Bile from the common bile duct in the patients with obstruction of the biliary tract was studied. In the patients with mechanical jaundice without and with cholangitis, the intraductal pressure in the common bile duct averaged 227.3±26.1 mm of water column, in the patients without signs of cholangitis that was 97.5±8.3 mm of water column. With mechanical jaundice without acute cholangitis, it was slightly elevated if compared to normal. This suggests that the increase in pressure in the bile ducts in acute cholangitis is not influenced by the fact of obstruction of the biliary tract, and the development of the inflammatory process in them. In the patients with cholangitis, the initial values of the number of colonizing units were much higher than in "pure" choledocholithiasis. After endoscopic papillosphincterotomy in the patients with vivid clinical cholangitis, in whom decompression was achieved, in the control study, this value decreased by 100−500 times, which was accompanied by clinical improvement. According to the results of the study, it was noted that in the patients with a manifested clinic sign of cholangitis there is a significant decrease in the number of colonizing units on the third day after endoscopic papillosphincterotomy. At the stone stuck in a papilla the choledoch turns into so−called analog of an abscess. The opening of the papilla provides a free passage of the contents of the choledochus (i.e. pus) into the duodenum, so there is an almost instant therapeutic effect. The increase in pressure in the bile ducts in acute cholangitis is influenced by the development of an inflammatory process, which indicates the manifestations of biliary infection. The presented research has a prospective character and needs further development. Key words: cholangitis, biliary infection, intraductal pressure, bile.

Abstract Context.—Dysregulation of mediators of apoptosis is associated with carcinogenesis. For biliary duct cancers, p53 gene mutation is an important contributor to carcinogenesis. Mutations in the p53 gene affect transcription of the Fas gene, resulting in lack of Fas expression on cell membrane. It has been previously shown that cloned Fas-negative but not Fas-positive human cholangiocarcinoma cells are resistant to anti–Fas-mediated apoptosis and develop tumors in nude mice. In addition, interferon gamma induces Fas expression in Fas-negative cholangiocarcinoma cells and makes them susceptible to apoptosis. Therefore, it becomes important to characterize immunophenotypic expression of p53 and Fas in normal and neoplastic human tissues of the biliary tract to further understand the pathogenesis of the disease. To date, human studies to characterize differences in immunophenotypic expression of the Fas protein between intrahepatic and extrahepatic biliary duct cancers and in their precursor lesions have not been performed. Objective.—To report the immunophenotypic expression of p53 and Fas expression in various stages in the development of bile duct cancers (intrahepatic and extrahepatic tumor location) and their association with tumor differentiation. Design.—Thirty bile duct cancer samples (13 intrahepatic and 17 extrahepatic) from 18 men and 12 women who ranged in age from 44 to 77 years (mean age, 65.6 years) were retrieved from the surgical pathology files. Hematoxylin-eosin–stained slides were evaluated for the type and grade of tumor and dysplastic changes in the biliary tract epithelium. Additional slides were immunohistochemically stained with p53 and anti–Fas mouse monoclonal antibody. The pattern of Fas distribution and percentage of cells positive for p53 and Fas expression were determined. Results.—The percentage of Fas-expressing cells is significantly (P = .01) more frequently noted in extrahepatic tumors compared with intrahepatic tumors. Furthermore, Fas expression decreased from dysplastic epithelium to cholangiocarcinoma (P = .01), and this decreasing trend continued from well to poorly differentiated tumors. Nuclear p53 expression was not identified in normal and dysplastic epithelium but was noted in 30% of carcinomas (P = .02). Conclusion.—Fas expression is an early event in pathogenesis of bile duct cancers. Immunophenotypic expression of Fas is associated with well to moderately differentiated tumors but not with poor tumor differentiation.

Aim: Evaluation of the effectiveness of percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography in the diagnostics of bile duct diseases complicated by obstructive jaundice. Material and methods: This article presents the experience of using percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography in 88 patients with benign and malignant common bile duct diseases complicated by obstructive jaundice. Results: Methods of direct contrasting of the biliary tract make it possible to visualize choledocholithiasis with 86.5% accuracy, with 84.1% common bile duct strictures, with 87.8% stricture of biliodigestive anastomosis and with 97.5% accuracy of cholangiocarcinomas. Conclusions: Direct antegrade bile duct enhancement should be used if ERCPG has low explanatory value. PTCG in case of “endoscopically complicated forms” of choledocholithiasis, CBD and BDA strictures and cholangiocarcinomas enhances all bile duct sections and helps assess the level and completeness of biliary blockade. Following PTCG, measures can be taken to achieve biliary decompression regardless of OJ genesis.

Traditionally, the biliary tract has been considered to be normally sterile, and the presence of microorganisms in bile is a marker of a pathological process. This assumption was confirmed by failure in allocation of bacterial strains from the normal bile duct. The paper provides rationale for a phenomenon of the normal biliary microbiota as a separate functional layer which protects a biliary tract from colonization by exogenous microorganisms. We revealed the potential of metagenomic data for prevention of infectious diseases, post-operative complications of reconstructive interventions including bile duct stenting and implantation the tissue-engineered structures exposed to the risks of colonization with pathogenic / exogenous microorganisms. The methods based on preserving homeostasis of normal biliary microbiota ecosystem can be used for prevention of hepatobiliary diseases and treatment of biliary tract inflammatory diseases.

Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) of the biliary tract is a rare tumor that commonly arises from the common bile duct. The most common clinical symptoms are obstructive jaundice and abdominal pain. Although diagnosis is often difficult and is frequently made during surgery, diagnostic imaging techniques including ultrasound, computerized tomography scan, and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography remain useful in the diagnosis and evaluation of biliary tree anatomy. In order to improve prognosis, different rhabdomyosarcoma study groups have adopted multidisciplinary treatment approach. Herein we describe a case of three-year-old child with Embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma originating in the common bile duct who was treated with surgery, chemotherapy according to European soft tissue sarcoma group (EpSSG) protocol and adjuvant postoperative intensity modulated radiotherapy to surgical bed with 6 MV photons to a dose of 41, 4Gy in 23 fractions. One year and a half after the end of therapy, the patient is still disease free. Although Rhabdomyosarcoma of the biliary tract is a rare tumor, it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients who have obstructive jaundice and a cystic mass within the common bile duct. Once believed to be an incurable disease, the prognosis of patients with biliary rhabdomyosarcoma has improved with a multidisciplinary treatment approach.

Aim. On the basis of the accumulated clinical material to show the possibility of a ligature-free method of laparoscopic appendectomy in children. Materials and methods. From 2000 to 2019, 2044 children with acute appendicitis were treated in the surgical department of the Republican childrens clinical hospital in Syktyvkar. Of these, 651 patients had an open appendectomy with treatment of the stump of the vermiform process by the submersible method, 1363 children had a laparoscopic appendectomy with ligature treatment of the stump of the process, and 32 patients had their first non-ligature laparoscopic appendectomy with the intersection of the vermiform process with the Ligasure device. Results. On average, surgery for ligature-free laparoscopic appendectomy lasted 7 3 minutes less than for laparoscopic appendectomy using the ligature method for treating the stump of the worm-like process. Experimentally, it was found that this method of appendectomy should not be used when the thickness of the worm-like process is more than 1.5 cm, with pronounced inflammatory infiltration of the caecum dome and perforation at the base of the process. With ligature-free appendectomy, the operation time was reduced. In the period from 1 to 6 months, there were no intra-abdominal postoperative complications associated with the new method of surgery. Conclusion. Ligar-free laparoscopic appendectomy in children using modern high-energy platforms with a digital assessment of the degree of tissue coagulation readiness made it possible to avoid intraoperative and postoperative complications, simplify the technique of its implementation, and reduce the time of surgery.
