Article Abstract
Cholecystectomy is the best method for treating gallstone diseases. However, 10%-30% of patients who undergo a cholecystectomy continue to complain of upper abdominal pain, dyspepsia, or jaundice-this is referred to as postcholecystectomy syndrome. Cystic duct stump stones are a troublesome cause of postcholecystectomy syndrome. Conventionally, surgery is mainly performed to remove cystic duct stump stones. However, repeated surgery can cause complications, such as postoperative bleeding, biliary injury, and wound infection. As an alternative method of surgery, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography is sometimes used to remove cystic duct stump stones, although the success rate is not high due to technical difficulties. Recently, peroral cholangioscopy, which can directly observe the bile duct, has been suggested as an alternative method. We report two cases in which a cystic duct stump stone was successfully removed via a single-operator cholangioscopy, after failure with an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography.

Characterization of undifferentiated carcinoma of the salivary gland: clinicopathological and immunohistochemical analyses in comparison with lymphoepithelial carcinoma.
J Pathol Transl Med
September 2025
Department of Pathology, Asan Medical Center, University of Ulsan College of Medicine, Seoul, Korea.
Background: This study aimed to reclassify a subset of poorly differentiated salivary gland carcinoma that do not conform to any entities of the current World Health Organization (WHO) classification into the category of undifferentiated carcinoma (UDC) because they lack specific histologic differentiation or immunophenotype.
Methods: Cases of salivary gland carcinomas from Asan Medical Center (2002-2020) that did not fit any existing WHO classification criteria and were diagnosed as poorly differentiated carcinoma, high-grade carcinoma, or UDC, were retrospectively reviewed. Immunohistochemical (IHC) staining for p40, neuroendocrine markers, androgen receptor (AR), and gross cystic disease fluid protein 15 (GCDFP-15) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in situ hybridization (ISH) were performed.
Acute Obstructive Jaundice Secondary to Surgical Clip Migration Into the Common Bile Duct 12 Years Following Laparoscopic Liver Resection: A Case Report.

Gastrointestinal and Pediatric Surgery, Tokyo Medical University, Tokyo, JPN.
Surgical clip migration to the common bile duct is a rare late complication, typically originating from clips placed at the cystic duct and most commonly reported after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. We present an exceptionally rare case of obstructive jaundice caused by clip migration from the liver dissection plane, rather than from the cystic duct, occurring 12 years after laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) and cholecystectomy and associated with chronic biliary inflammation. A 73-year-old man underwent LLR of segments 4a + 5 and cholecystectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma and was discharged on postoperative day 12 without any complications.

Department of General Surgery of the Faculty of Medicine, Damascus University, Damascus, Syrian Arab Republic. Electronic address:
Background: Todani Type IVa choledochal cysts are rare congenital malformations involving both intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile ducts. Adult-onset, asymptomatic, and localized presentations are exceptionally uncommon and pose a surgical challenge, particularly when considering the extent of resection and reconstruction required.
Case Presentation: We report the case of a 24-year-old asymptomatic female who was incidentally diagnosed with a localized Todani Type IVa cyst involving the left hepatic lobe and the common bile duct.
Accidental discovery of cholecystoduodenal fistula during laparoscopic cholecystectomy: a case report.

Cholecystoduodenal fistula (CDF) is a rare complication of cholelithiasis. Sometimes, a preoperative examination does not fully detect CDF and may have an impact on the conduct of the surgery. Sometimes, clinicians fail to accurately determine the presence of CDF, which may have an impact on the conduct of the procedure.

General and Colorectal Surgery, Mediclinic Parkview Hospital, Dubai, ARE.
While various biliary anomalies have been documented in the literature, their occurrence in clinical practice is uncommon. Common anomalies encountered in practice include variations in cystic duct insertion (such as low or medial insertion), accessory hepatic ducts, and aberrant right hepatic ducts. Less commonly, clinicians may encounter double cystic ducts, duplicated gallbladders, or rare configurations associated with conditions like Mirizzi syndrome.
