  2. Biliary endoscopic sphincterotomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biliary_endoscopic...

    Treatment of bile leaks: leakage of bile into the abdominal cavity is a complication of laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The purpose of biliary endoscopic sphincterotomy in the treatment of a bile leak is to reduce or eliminate the pressure gradient between the bile duct and the duodenum, encouraging transpapillary bile flow and allowing the leak ...

    First lines of treatment can include mass spectrum antibiotics or drainage of the bile duct that is infected followed by close monitoring. [7] Endoscopic surgery is favored over open procedures to reduce infection and quicker recovery times. If these fail a liver transplant may be necessary. [citation needed]

  4. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography - Wikipedia

    Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a technique that combines the use of endoscopy and fluoroscopy to diagnose and treat certain problems of the biliary or pancreatic ductal systems. It is primarily performed by highly skilled and specialty trained gastroenterologists.

    It also has better endoscopic access to the biliary tree and more physiologic bile drainage. [8] CDD is used in the treatment of biliary obstruction caused by various factors shown below or when alternative treatment options were not accessible. Other less common indications include operative injuries, or chronic dilation of the CBD. [6]

  6. Biloma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biloma

    The formation of biloma does not occur frequently. Biliary fistulas are also caused by injury to the bile duct and can result in the formation of bile leaks. Biliary fistulas are abnormal communications between organs and the biliary tract. [3] Once diagnosed, they usually require drainage. The term "biloma" was first coined in 1979 by Gould ...

    Clips have also been used to secure the placement of endoscopic feeding tubes, [19] and to orient the bile duct to assist with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, a procedure used to image to bile duct. [20]

  8. Cholecystectomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cholecystectomy

    Bile leak should always be considered in any patient who is not recovering as expected after cholecystectomy. [22] Most bile injuries require repair by a surgeon with special training in biliary reconstruction. If biliary injuries are properly treated and repaired, more than 90% of patients can have a long-term successful recovery. [23]

  9. Cholestasis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cholestasis

    In cases involving obstructive cholestasis, the primary treatment includes biliary decompression. [105] If bile stones are present in the common bile duct, an endoscopic sphincterotomy can be conducted either with or without placing a stent. [2] To do this, a duodenoscope is placed by the endoscopist in the second portion of the duodenum. A ...
