Safety Parameters for the Use of Holmium:YAG Laser in the Treatment of Biliary Calculi: The Ex-Vivo Model
Conclusions: The Ho:YAG laser appears to be safe and effective in the treatment of large bile duct stones when used between 8-12 W in 5 s bursts in an ex vivo model utilizing porcine bile ducts and human gallstones.PMID:38399633 | PMC:PMC10889936 | DOI:10.3390/medicina60020346 (Source: Medicina (Kaunas))

The Management of Biliary Disease in Patients with Severe Obesity Undergoing Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery —An International Expert Survey
ConclusionConcomitant cholecystectomy is preferred by the experts, although evidence in the literature reports an increased complication rate. Prophylactic UDCA should be recommended to every MBS patient, even though the current survey demonstrated that not all experts are recommending it. The preferred approach for treating common bile duct stones is a laparoscopic assisted transgastric ERCP after gastric bypass. The conflicting responses will need more scientific work and clarity in the future.Graphical Abstract (Source: Obesity Surgery)

Novel insights into causal effects of serum lipids and lipid-modifying targets on cholelithiasis
Conclusion
Lower serum TC can causally increase the risk of cholelithiasis. The cholelithiasis risk would increase with the elevation of serum TG but would decrease when exceeding 2.57 mmol/L. The use of HMGCR inhibitors should prevent its risk. (Source: Gut)

Abstract No. 12 Systematic Review Analyzing Percutaneous Cholangioscopy and Lithotripsy for Inoperable Calculus Cholecystitis
There is limited available literature on percutaneous gallstone extraction for large stones using lithotripsy in patients with inoperable calculus cholecystitis. The purpose of this study is to provide a comprehensive review of the efficacy and safety profiles for the commonly utilized types of lithotripsy including electrohydraulic lithotripsy (EHL), extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), ShockPulse lithotripsy (SPL), and laser lithotripsy (LL).
