Article Abstract
Recurrent cholangitis, intrahepatic stones and biliary and anastomotic strictures are common complications after Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy. The surgically altered anatomy makes management of these complications with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography technically difficult. We present a case of recurrent cholangitis in a 25-year-old woman with a prior hepaticojejunostomy. Intrahepatic stones, biliary strictures and hepaticojejunostomy strictures were treated using a combined percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography and cholangioscopy approach over several interventions. Minimally invasive, multidisciplinary approach to the management of intrahepatic biliary calculi and stricture after hepaticojejunostomy can be considered in cases where traditional endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography intervention is too technically difficult.

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.

Background And Aims: Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a rare disease that paradoxically accounts for 5%-15% of liver transplants (LT). The paucity of liver donors is boosting living donor LT (LDLT). We reviewed the literature regarding outcomes of LT in PSC, comparing LDLT with deceased donor LT (DDLT).

We report a case of obstructive jaundice due to recurrent distal biliary stricture during 3 years of treatment for immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related sclerosing cholangitis (IgG4-SC) associated with autoimmune pancreatitis. Although a relapse of IgG4-SC was initially suspected, imaging findings, laboratory tests, and histopathological examinations led to the diagnosis of metachronous cholangiocarcinoma. The patient underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy, and no cancer recurrence was noted 6 months postoperatively.

Introduction: Inflammatory bowel disease-primary sclerosing cholangitis (IBD-PSC) is a unique disease entity that has very poorly understood pathogenesis and unique clinical presentation. Patients with this disease may eventually require liver transplantation as there is no current curative treatment for PSC to halt disease progression for liver failure. Thirty percent of patients with IBD may experience recurrence despite being on immunosuppression.
