The optimal use of robotic-assisted versus laparoscopic approaches for emergency gallbladder surgery is not well-defined. Rates of bile duct injury were similar with both surgical approaches, a large ...

Mullens also pointed out that across the different levels of patient risk, bile duct injury was approximately three times higher for robotic cholecystectomies than laparoscopic. "Across the board, ...

In Medicare beneficiaries with varying levels of risk for adverse postoperative outcomes, the rate of bile duct injury is three times higher with robotic-assisted cholecystectomy than with ...

The management of bile duct injuries during laparoscopic cholecystectomy remains a critical challenge in hepatobiliary surgery. Although infrequent, these injuries can result in severe clinical ...

Biliary atresia (BA) is a life-threatening liver disease of infancy in which early surgery can restore bile flow but rarely ...

Stabbing pain after gallbladder removal can signal a complication. Examples of these include bile leakage or bile duct injury, retained gallstones, or post-cholecystectomy syndrome. The gallbladder is ...

Liver tests should be obtained in all patients with suspected DILI. Calculating the ratio of the alanine aminotransferase (ALT) value/ALT upper limit of normal (ULN) divided by the alkaline ...

Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is an autoimmune disease that causes the destruction of bile ducts within the liver. The loss of bile ducts results in bile acid buildup, which causes inflammation ...

While rates of bile duct injury were similar with robotic-assisted cholecystectomy and laparoscopic cholecystectomy among adults receiving acute care surgery, the robotic-assisted approach was ...

As robotic cholecystectomy, also known as gallbladder removal, becomes increasingly common, researchers have identified higher rates of bile duct injury in robotic cholecystectomy compared to the ...
