Precirrhotic Primary Biliary Cholangitis with Portal Hypertension: Bile Duct Injury Correlate
CONCLUSIONS: : Approximately 24.2% of precirrhotic PBC patients have PH, which is histologically related to the injury of bile ducts. High alkaline phosphatase levels, low white blood cell counts, high Mayo scores, and high FIB-4 index values are associated with increased risk of precirrhotic PBC with PH.PMID:38623061 | DOI:10.5009/gnl230468 (Source: Gut and Liver)

Subtotal cholecystectomy with omental pedicle plug for the challenging gallbladder: A case report and review of the literature
Key Clinical MessageIf patient anatomy or disease does not allow for a traditional or partial cholecystectomy, an omental pedicle plug may be a viable option to limit the risk of postoperative uncontrolled bile leak from the cystic duct and to control patient symptoms.

Detection of residual stones by peroral direct cholangioscopy in patients with intrahepatic stones after hepaticojejunostomy: A prospective study (with video)
The difficulty of radiographic confirmation of the presence of stones remains a challenge in the treatment of intrahepatic bile duct (IHBD) stones in patients after hepaticojejunostomy (HJ). Peroral direct cholangioscopy (PDCS) enables direct observation of the bile duct and is useful for detecting and removing residual stones; however, its effectiveness is not clearly established in this clinical context.
