 | | The purpose of this study was to objectively assess the safety, efficacy, and facility of transcystic duct choledochoscopy using a small-caliber choledochoscope with facilitated insertion technique. | | | Choledochotomy was used forthose patients in which the cystic approach was not possible or was unsuccessful. | | | The transcystic approach was used in 89.5% of the patients; choledochotomy was used in 6.2%; and both ways were used in 4.3%. |

| | Bilirubin is a substance normally formed by the breakdown of hemoglobin in the blood and it is excreted in bile. | | | In the past, when common bile duct stones were suspected, the approach was open surgery (open cholecystectomy) and surgical exploration of the common bile duct. | | | With this rare inborn condition, the junction of the common bile duct and main pancreatic duct is outside the wall of the small intestine and forms a long channel between them. |

| | Bile duct - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The top half of the common bile duct is associated with the liver, while the bottom half of the common bile duct is associated with the pancreas, through which it passes on its way to the intestine. | | | This condition is called jaundice and the skin and eyes become yellow from the accumulated bile in the blood. | | | Jaundice is commonly caused by conditions such as pancreatic cancer, which causes blockage of the bile duct passing through the cancerous portion of the pancreas; cholangiocarcinoma, cancer of the common bile duct; blockage by a stone in patients with gallstones; and from scarring after injury to the bile duct during gallbladder removal. |

| | Once the funneling of the gallbladder into the cystic duct has been identified, the area of Hartmann's pouch should be again pulled laterally and inferiorly so that the anterior peritoneum can be dissected, while the 30° scope is angled to view the area. | | | The gallbladder is grasped near the cystic duct insertion and pulled down toward the right anterosuperior iliac spine, placing the areolar tissue between the gallbladder and liver anteriorly under tension. | | | It is sometimes necessary to stretch the fascial opening with a Kelly clamp or to aspirate bile from the gallbladder. |
