1170 patients with chronic opisthorchosis have been operated by surgeons of Tomsk hepatology center for 35 years, 4756 patients have been treated. In 730 operated patients different strictures of biliary tracts have been revealed, strictures of cystic duct have been observed in 372 patients (51%), strictures of choledoch distal section and major duodenal papilla (MDP) of expanded character — in 124 patients (17%), stricture combination — in 205 patients (28%) and sclerosing cholangitis — in 29 (4%). The treatment of opisthorchosis strictures of biliary tracts is surgical. In case of any its localization a cholecystectomy is necessary, in case of strictures of choledoch distal section and MDP a supraduodenal choledochoduodenostomy is necessary. In early postsurgical period it is prescribed an anthelmintic therapy with iodinol through external drainage of bile ducts. Good farther results have been marked at 79,4% of patients.

In 2003, Russian developers proposed a new method of crushing stones by electric impulses of nanosecond duration, which has several advantages over contact electrohydraulic lithotripsy. The aim of the study was to evaluate the possibilities of transfistular nanoelectroimpulse lithotripsy (NEIL) in the treatment of choledocholithiasis. A nanoelectroimpulse lithotriptor "Urolit", manufactured by Medline Ltd. (Tomsk, Russia), was used to break down the gallstones. 66 patients with large and/or unmovable bile duct stones and bile ducts drains were performed transfistular NEIL. It was successful in 63 patients (95.5%). NEIL made it possible to perform removal of large and/or unmovable gallstones without destroying the sphincters of the major duodenal papilla in 89% cases. Transfistular NEIL is a new highly effective and safe method of crushing gallstones.

The aim of this work was to provide a critical analysis of the ten-year experience of using transpapillary interventions in an urgent surgical hospital with a detailed study of all groups of registered complications.Material and methods. In the period from 2008 to 2018, 1188 retrograde endoscopic transpapillary grafts were performed on the bile ducts with dissection of the major duodenal papilla in a typical and atypical way on the basis of our clinic. The group of observed patients included 1188 patients with endoscopic papillosphincterotomy, including 839 women (70.6%) and 349 men (29.4%). The average age was 63.2 ± 1.25.Results. During the period, 25 complications (2.1%) were revealed when performing transpapillary interventions with dissection of the major duodenal papilla: acute pancreatitis — 10 patients (0.8%); bleeding from the opening of the major duodenal papilla — 4 (0.33%), perforation 12p. intestines — 4 (0.33%), breakage of the basket cable with wedging — 1 (0.08%), cholangitis — 1 (0.08%), overlapping with a stent of the lobar duct — 1 (0.08%). The overall mortality associated with complications is 0.25%. Based on the analyzed material, the iatrogenic index was calculated. It was 0.044. After the analysis of complications, on the basis of the data obtained, we proposed an algorithm of actions when performing transpapillary interventions.Conclusion. Based on the study, we come to the conclusion that it will not be possible to completely level the risk and avoid possible papillotomic-induced complications. In this regard, the early, preferably intraoperative diagnosis of the latter and the prompt implementation of correlating therapeutic measures are of great importance, which will undoubtedly improve the treatment results and have a positive eff ect on the outcome of the disease.

Aims. To investigate the effect of biliary stent placement without endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) on common bile duct stones (CBDS) disappearance and the contribution of preserving the duodenal papilla function to reduce recurrence of CBDS.Methods. Sixty-six patients admitted for acute obstructive cholangitis due to CBDS who underwent biliary stent placement without EST for 2 years from March 2011 were evaluated retrospectively. The second endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) was performed for treatment of CBDS 3 to 4 months after the first ERCP. We estimated the rate of stone disappearance at the time of second ERCP.Results. CBDS disappearance was observed in 32 (48.5%) of 66 patients. The diameter of the bile ducts and the diameter of CBDS in patients with CBDS disappearance were significantly smaller than in those with CBDS requiring extraction (p=0.007andp<0.001, resp.). Stone disappearance was evident when the diameter of bile ducts and that of CBDS were <10 and 7 mm, respectively (p=0.002).Conclusions. Short-term stent placement without EST eliminates CBDS while preserving duodenal papilla function and may be suitable for treating CBDS in patients with nondilated bile ducts and small CBDS.

Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a chronic liver disease in which there are inflammation and scarring of the bile ducts leading to fibrosis, destruction and narrowing of the bile ducts, resulting in cholestasis. In the long run, PSC can cause liver cirrhosis and failure. In clinical practice, the diagnosis of PSC is generally based on blood tests and imaging studies (currently preferably magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography). To make a diagnosis of PSC it is necessary to exclude secondary causes of sclerosing cholangitis. The most common MRI features of PSC concerning bile ducts are: bile duct dilatation, beading, extrahepatic bile duct stenosis, wall enhancement and thickening. The most common MRI features of PSC concerning hepatic parenchyma are: rounded shape of the liver caused by hypertrophy of caudate lobe and left liver lobe, atrophy of the right lobe, enlargement of portal and/or portacaval lymph nodes, peripheral parenchymal inflammation, wedge-shaped confluent fibrosis, heterogeneity of the liver parenchyma, periportal oedema, cirrhosis with indirect signs of portal hypertension such as splenomegaly, ascites and collateral vasculature.

Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a progressive, cholestatic disease of the liver that is marked by inflammation of the bile ducts and damage to the hepatic biliary tree. Approximately 60–70% of patients also have inflammatory bowel disease and progression of PSC can lead to ulcerative colitis and cirrhosis of the liver. Due to limited understanding of the etiology and mechanism of PSC, the only existing treatment option is orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT); however, recurrence of PSC, after OLT is estimated to be between 5% and 35%. We discuss the successful treatment of a pediatric patient, with recurrent PSC, after OLT with oral Vancomycin.

Postcholecystectomy syndrome is a symptom complex that occurs or worsens after cholecystectomy and is a functional and / or organic disorder. It often complicates the post−surgery course of gallstone disease. The presence of symptoms of the disease indicates a deterioration in the quality of life of patients, but the diagnostic examination is not always possible to detect morphological or functional changes. Thus, at present the syndrome is an urgent problem of gastroenterology and biliary surgery. Diagnostic issues with a differentiated approach to the functional or organic nature of postcholecystectomy syndrome are important for the choice of further treatment tactics. In order to improve the diagnostic algorithm taking into account the changes in the area of the major duodenal papilla, a study was conducted in 137 patients. To determine the functional disorders of the sphincter of Oddi there was used the method of ultrasound investigation of hepatobiliary area and Vater's papilla with choleretic loading on Boyden as well as the Grigoriev's methods in the absence of organic obstruction of the terminal choledochus at previous stages of examination. Morphological changes in the major duodenal papilla area were evaluated using the technique of parietal ph−impedancemetry, which was performed on the background of benign mechanical jaundice in the patients after cholecystectomy during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography prior to endoscopic papillosphincterotomy. The obtained results help to perform a differentiated approach to the patients who underwent cholecystectomy, taking into account morphofunctional changes in the area of the major duodenal papilla and allow the implementation of the selected methods to the research algorithm of patients with postcholecystectomy syndrome. Key words: postcholecystectomy syndrome, functional and organic changes of major duodenal papilla, patency of the terminal choledochus, treatment tactics.
