As robotic cholecystectomy, also known as gallbladder removal, becomes increasingly common, researchers have identified higher rates of bile duct injury in robotic cholecystectomy compared to the ...

The optimal use of robotic-assisted versus laparoscopic approaches for emergency gallbladder surgery is not well-defined. Rates of bile duct injury were similar with both surgical approaches, a large ...

A first of its kind procedure at William Beaumont Army Medical Center may make it possible for some patients to minimize operations when dealing with Common Bile Duct (CBD) exploration, thanks to an ...

More than 1 million Americans undergo gallbladder surgery every year. Yet relatively few people even understand what the gallbladder does — or why it would need to be removed. Located just below the ...

Rates of bile duct injury a year after gallbladder removal surgery were lower with laparoscopic procedures than robotic-assisted ones, a retrospective study of Medicare beneficiaries found.

IN recent years, cholecystectomy has been performed in an increasing number of patients. As a result, two serious complications of biliary-tract surgery have occurred with increasing frequency. The ...

As robotic cholecystectomy, also known as gallbladder removal, becomes increasingly common, researchers have identified higher rates of bile duct injury in robotic cholecystectomy compared to the ...

While rates of bile duct injury were similar with robotic-assisted cholecystectomy and laparoscopic cholecystectomy among adults receiving acute care surgery, the robotic-assisted approach was ...
