    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Suppurative cholangitis is a severe biliary tract infection.
    • Gallstones are a common cause of biliary obstruction and infection.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To elucidate the pathological characteristics of stone-related suppurative cholangitis.
    • To establish the rationale for early surgical intervention.

    Main Methods:

    • Choledochoscopy was utilized to examine the intraductal environment.
    • Pathological features of the biliary duct were analyzed.

    Main Results:

    • Stone-related suppurative cholangitis presents as a multiloculated intraductal abscess.
    • Fibrin webs within the duct compartmentalize the infection and trap calculi.
  • Stones act as foreign bodies, and stasis promotes bacterial growth (bacterobilia).

    • Conclusions:

    • The findings provide an anatomical basis for understanding the disease process.
    • Early direct surgical drainage is identified as the definitive and effective treatment for stone-related suppurative cholangitis.
