Article Abstract
Background And Aims: Digital single-operator cholangioscopy (DSOC) plays a critical role in directly visualizing and treating the bile duct system. Although various cholangioscopes with different external diameters are available for DSOC, certain challenging scenarios persist in which existing scopes fail to complete a thorough evaluation of the bile ducts. To overcome these limitations, we aimed to introduce and highlight the application of a novel 7F cholangioscope.
Methods: In this review article we describe the novel 7F cholangioscope, provide its assembly and setup, and review cases in which the 7F cholangioscope was used for diagnostic and therapeutic guidance.
Results: Four cases involving challenging biliary assessments were presented, all of which achieved technical and clinical success. No procedure-related adverse events were reported in any of these cases.
Conclusions: The 7F cholangioscope can provide additional information regarding the biliary tree and guidance for treatment, overcoming the challenging assessment of small pancreatobiliary ducts and its strictures. Its potential use in cases of severe bile duct stenosis is recommended. However, further studies evaluating safety and efficacy are needed.

We describe a case of a 64-year-old obese woman with a history of severe acute cholecystitis and choledocholithias who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy in our clinic after endoscopic treatment by sphincterotomy and stent insertion. On the first operative day, a significant bile leakage of 400 ml appeared in the drainage. An immediate surgical revision was performed, starting by laparoscopy with conversion to open surgery.

Introduction: Duodenal injuries occur in significant number of patients after abdominal trauma. Though most, 75 %, occur after penetrating mechanism of injury the remaining occur after blunt trauma and these are the commonly missed cases unless high index of suspicion is maintained. Here we presented a case of isolated retroperitoneal duodenal perforation after blunt abdominal trauma with a delayed diagnosis and management.

Objective: To demonstrate the effectiveness and safety of intraluminal endoscopic treatment of patients with adenomas of the major duodenal papilla and familial adenomatous polyposis.
Material And Methods: Over the past 4 years, 13 patients with adenomas of the major duodenal papilla and familial adenomatous polyposis underwent surgery in our hospital. Of these, 7 patients had exclusively extrapapillary adenomas without signs of spread to the ducts.

Cholesterol homeostasis dysregulation is a primary risk factor for atherosclerosis (AS) development. Fisetin, a flavonoid compound, has shown promise in regulating cholesterol homeostasis by enhancing transintestinal cholesterol excretion (TICE). This study aimed to investigate the regulatory effects and underlying mechanisms of fisetin in AS.
