Objective. The radical elimination of extrahepatic biliary tract pathology in choledocholithiasis and acute biliary pancreatitis (ABP) reduces the risk of infection and eliminates the source of endogenous intoxication; so, the search of safe and effective techniques for endoscopic papillosphincterotomy (EPT) is important.Purpose: to assess outcomes of laser-assisted endoscopic papillosphincterotomy.Material and methods. 288 patients with “wedged” (n = 111) and “valve” (n = 177) choledocholithiasis and acute biliary pancreatitis were divided into two groups depending on EPT technique: in the control group, a papillotome with electrocoagulation cord was used (n = 195); in the main group, laser scalpel was used (n = 93).Results. 87 patients with “wedged” choledocholithiasis were treated with EPT and an end electrode on the wedged stone. 16 patients out of them had mild bleeding which was stopped by irrigation with epinephrine solution (1 : 10 000) followed by the targeted coagulation. The average surgical time was 38 ± 16 min. In 24 patients with rigid and edematous medial wall of the duodenum due to acute biliary pancreatitis, the proposed device plus laser technique for papillosphincterotomy were used (patent of the Russian Federation No. 2614891). There was no bleeding, the average surgical time was 24 ± 12 min. In “valve” choledocholithiasis, laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LCE) was performed; calculi from the common bile duct were removed. In 108 patients during LCE, EPT was made via an antegrade catheter. In 69 patients with anatomical and physiological obstacles caused by the major duodenal papilla, we performed LCE and EPT with laser light via an antegrade guide light made of fluoroplastics (patent of the Russian Federation No. 41594). Concrements from the common bile duct were removed with the Dormia basket.Conclusions. Laser light causes less damage, reliably provides hemostasis along the incision line on the anterior wall of the major duodenal papilla; in addition, a wedged calculus in “wedged” choledocholithiasis and a fluoroplastic light guide in “valve” choledocholithiasis reliably protect the posterior wall of the major duodenal papilla from laser light damage. Laser techniques used in EPT make the treatment of choledocholithiasis in patients with ABP having anatomical and physiological problems due to the major duodenal papilla safe and effective.

Background: Standard recommendations for patients recovering from an episode of biliary pancreatitis include cholecystectomy with intra operative cholangiogram or ERCP during the same hospital admission as it is believed that the instigating factor is the passage of stones through the common bile duct. As ERCP is not widely available and expensive, cholecystectomy with IOC is routinely performed to rule out choledocholithiasis. However detection of common bile duct stones is challenging. Whether these patients undergoing cholecystectomy require direct common bile duct evaluation is controversial.Objectives: To see the presence of common bile duct stones in patients with resolving acute mild biliary pancreatitis.Materials and Methods: Patients admitted in the surgical ward in Patan and Bir hospital with the diagnosis of mild acute biliary pancreatitis that underwent cholecystectomy with intra operative cholangiography from August 2010 to July 2011 were studied. The outcome of cholangiogram was analyzed together with findings of Common bile duct exploration.Result and Conclusion: A total of 52 patients with acute mild biliary pancreatitis were operated during this period. The Common bile duct stone was found in 1.9%. Out of four patients with abnormal cholangiogram, only one patient (25%) had stone on exploration, rest of the three cases (75%) had negative exploration. The presence of common bile duct stone in case of mild acute biliary pancreatitis undergoing cholecystectomy is very low (1.96%), and thus policy of selective IOC should be applied for cases with mild biliary pancreatitis.Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.15(4) 2016 p.517-521

Diagnostic Capabilities

Mechanical jaundice is a clinical syndrome that develops due to the bile flow impairment along the bile ducts to the duodenum, remains one of the urgent problems of medicine. Of great importance among the causes of mechanical jaundice are diseases of the common bile duct and the major duodenal papilla, the diagnosis of which to this day remains a rather difficult task. The use of MRCP, ERСP, endo-ultrasonography and other highly informative bile tract imaging methods, despite great diagnostic capabilities, is associated with a number of limitations. In this regard, an important place, especially in the primary examination of patients, is occupied by transabdominal ultrasound, the advantages of which are non-invasiveness, portability, accessibility, safety, the possibility of multiple reiteration. A review of the literature presents domestic and foreign data of researchers regarding the possibility of ultrasonography in diagnostics of the common bile duct pathology and the pathology of the major duodenal papilla that are complicated by mechanical jaundice, as well as the greatest difficulties in diagnosing this pathology.

In the structure of malignant tumors, accompanied by obstructive jaundice, there are most occurred such as the lesion of the pancreas (47%), bile duct cancer (20%) also papillary carcinoma (MDP) and gall bladder cancer (about 15%). In the case of inoperable tumor, in elderly and senile patients with severe concomitant somatic pathology, there are indicated palliative interventions as follows: percutaneous transhepatic external or external-internal drainage of the biliary tract with possible subsequent percutaneous transhepatic stenting of the common bile duct. Under our observation there was a patient of 75 years with verified major duodenal papilla cancer, complicated by obstructive jaundice, to whom as the first step there was performed percutaneous transhepatic external-internal drainage of the biliary tract, and as the second one - percutaneous transhepatic stenting of the common bile duct.

Significant Difference

Several studies addressed that preoperative endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for common bile duct (CBD) clearance, followed by interval laparoscopic cholecystectomy (two-stage approach), constitutes the most common practice in cases of uncomplicated mild acute biliary pancreatitis. Between June 1998 and December 2002, 44 patients (35 females and 9 males with a median age of 62 years) suffering from uncomplicated mild acute biliary pancreatitis were treated in our unit. All patients were electively submitted to surgery after subsidence of the acute symptoms, and for definitive treatment we favored the single-stage laparoscopic management, avoiding preoperative ERCP. All patients underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy plus fluoroscopic intraoperative cholangiogram (IOC). If filling defect(s) were detected in the IOC, a finding suggestive of concomitant choledocholithiasis, laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) was added in the same sitting. Twenty patients were operated upon within 2 weeks since the attack of the acute symptoms and constitute the early group (n = 20), whereas 24 patients underwent an operation later on and constitute the delay group (n = 24). We retrospectively compare the safety, effectiveness, and outcome after the single-stage laparoscopic management between the two groups of patients. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy alone constituted the definitive treatment in 38 patients, while an additional LCBDE was performed in the remaining 6 patients (14%), and all operations were achieved laparoscopically. There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of operative time, incidence of concomitant choledocholithiasis, morbidity rate, and postoperative hospital stay. During the follow-up, none of the patients experienced recurrent pancreatitis. In uncomplicated mild acute biliary pancreatitis cases, a single-stage definitive laparoscopic management, avoiding preoperative ERCP, can be safely performed during the same admission, after the improvement of symptoms and local inflammation. Postoperative ERCP should be selectively used in patients in whom the single-stage method failed to resolve the problem.
