In patients with peripheral leakages, the most common localization of bile leakages was the cystic duct stump (21/35 patients), followed by the accessory bile duct (7/35 patients) and the bed of ...

They often manifest as a concentric thickening of the bile duct, coupled with infiltration of the periductal tissues. By contrast, nodular lesions project directly into the lumen of the bile duct.

The ductal epithelium forms a papillary projection into the duct and mucin production causes intraluminal cystic dilation of the pancreatic ducts. Imaging studies demonstrate diffuse dilation of the ...

These stones then cause extreme pain and other problems when they block the bile ducts. Cholecystitis is essentially caused ...
