Summary
Hepaticoduodenostomy offers a safe alternative for managing impacted bile duct stones, especially in low-resource areas lacking advanced equipment. This surgical approach proved effective in a case complicated by acute cholecystitis.
Area of Science:
- Surgical Gastroenterology
- Biliary Tract Surgery
- Low-Resource Healthcare
Background:
- Retained, impacted distal common bile duct stones pose management challenges, particularly in low-resource settings.
- Traditional methods for stone retrieval may be hazardous without advanced imaging or instrumentation.
- Distal biliary obstruction can lead to complications like cystic duct stump dehiscence.

Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP
1.0K
Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a diagnostic procedure that combines endoscopy and fluoroscopy to diagnose and treat conditions related to the bile ducts, pancreatic ducts, and gallbladder. This procedure is beneficial for identifying and addressing blockages, gallstones, strictures, and tumors within the biliary or pancreatic systems. ERCP is both diagnostic and therapeutic, offering the ability to visualize and treat identified problems in one session.
