Article Abstract
Background: Data consistently supports a surgery-first approach to common bile duct (CBD) stones in patients with a gallbladder via laparoscopic CBD exploration (LCBDE). LCBDE has equivalent efficacy and decreased cost as compared with cholecystectomy plus endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). However, adoption has been low due to the technical limitations of laparoscopy. We describe a straightforward and highly reproducible robotic CBDE (RBCDE) technique.
Methods: A cystic ductotomy is made after obtaining a critical view of safety. Through a 5 mm port, a wire-ready cholangiogram catheter is secured in the cystic duct and intraoperative cholangiogram performed. Based on stone burden, small versus large, either an antegrade balloon snowplow (push stones forward) or sphincteroplasty is performed over a wire under fluoroscopy. If concern persists for retained stones, choledochoscopy is performed.
Conclusions: Our simplified antegrade-only RCBDE technique allows surgeons to consistently offer a surgery-first, single-stage approach to CBD stones in patients with a gallbladder.

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.
Sump Syndrome: A Rare Complication of Choledochojejunostomy.

Before the period of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), individuals with biliary tract diseases would undergo side-to-side choledochoduodenostomy, and sump syndrome used to develop as a complication of this procedure. There is retention of bile along with debris or calculi, and refluxed duodenal contents in the common bile duct, which leads to biliary and pancreatic complications. This syndrome's pathophysiology often results when the distal common bile duct below the anastomosis becomes a blind pouch (), leading to stasis of bile, food debris, and bacteria, which can lead to obstruction and infection.

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.
